Carboxytherapy Facial

“Carboxytherapy” is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) gas into the skin. 

When used on the face, it’s often referred to as a Carboxytherapy Facial. This treatment is designed to rejuvenate the skin, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles, and other signs of aging.

How It Works

• Carbon Dioxide Injections: During a Carboxytherapy Facial, tiny amounts of CO₂ gas are injected into the skin using a fine needle. The gas quickly diffuses into the surrounding tissues.
• Increased Blood Flow: The body interprets the presence of CO₂ as a lack of oxygen, triggering a response to increase blood flow to the area. This enhanced circulation brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, promoting healing and rejuvenation.
• Collagen Stimulation: The procedure also stimulates collagen production, which helps to firm and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Lymphatic Drainage: The increased circulation and oxygenation can also improve lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce puffiness and dark circles, especially under the eyes.

Benefits

• Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines: By boosting collagen production and improving skin elasticity, Carboxytherapy can soften the appearance of wrinkles.
• Improves Skin Tone and Texture: The treatment enhances circulation, which can lead to a more even skin tone and a healthier, glowing complexion.
• Reduces Dark Circles: For those with dark under-eye circles caused by poor circulation, Carboxytherapy can help brighten the area.
• Minimizes Scarring: It can also be used to reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars, by promoting skin regeneration.

Treatment Process

• Preparation: The skin is usually cleaned before the procedure. A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
• Injection: CO₂ is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The process typically takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
• Sensation: Patients may feel a slight pressure or tingling as the gas is injected. There may be some temporary swelling or redness after the procedure.

Results and Downtime

• Immediate Effects: Some patients notice immediate plumping of the skin and a reduction in dark circles.
• Long-Term Results: The benefits continue to improve over several weeks as collagen production increases and circulation improves.
• Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the treatment. Any swelling or redness usually subsides within a few hours.

Frequency and Maintenance

• Treatment Schedule: Multiple sessions (typically 4-10) are often recommended for optimal results, spaced about a week apart.
• Maintenance: To maintain results, occasional follow-up treatments may be needed.

Considerations

• Safety: Carboxytherapy is generally safe, but it’s important to have the procedure done by a trained and experienced professional to minimize risks like infection, bruising, or uneven results.
• Suitability: This treatment is suitable for most skin types, but a consultation is necessary to determine if it’s right for you, especially if you have certain medical conditions or skin sensitivities.
• Cost: The cost of Carboxytherapy Facials can vary depending on the provider, location, and the number of sessions required.
