Carboxy Facial

Carboxytherapy injections are a medical aesthetic treatment in which a small amount of sterile carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas is carefully injected just beneath the skin using a very fine needle. This controlled introduction of CO₂ creates a temporary imbalance that signals the body to increase blood flow and deliver more oxygen to the treated area. As a result, circulation improves, nutrients are delivered more efficiently, and the skin’s natural repair processes are activated. This makes the treatment effective for improving skin tone, brightness, and overall skin health.

At a deeper level, the increase in oxygen and circulation stimulates fibroblast cells, which are responsible for producing collagen and elastin—the key components that keep skin firm and youthful. Over time, this leads to smoother texture, improved elasticity, and a reduction in fine lines, dark circles, and other signs of aging. When performed in areas with localized fat, the treatment can also help break down fat cells and improve contour. Because it works by enhancing the body’s natural physiological responses, carboxytherapy is considered a regenerative treatment that delivers both immediate and long-term improvements in the skin.

Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation where we assess your skin, review your concerns, and determine if carboxy injections are the right approach for your goals. We customize your treatment plan based on the area being treated and the results you want to achieve.

The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and prepped to ensure a safe and hygienic procedure. This step also helps optimize the effectiveness of the treatment.

Using a very fine needle and a controlled delivery system, medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO₂) is carefully injected beneath the skin. You may feel slight pressure or a mild stinging sensation as the gas is introduced, which is normal and typically very tolerable.

As the CO₂ is absorbed, your body responds by increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the area. This stimulates circulation, enhances cellular activity, and begins the process of collagen production and tissue repair.

The treated area may appear slightly red or feel warm as circulation increases. This is a positive sign that the treatment is working to rejuvenate the skin, improve texture, and support natural healing.

After the procedure, the area is gently cleaned and, if needed, soothing products are applied. There is minimal downtime, and most clients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.

Over the following days and weeks, your body continues to improve circulation, produce collagen, and eliminate waste. This leads to firmer, smoother, and more refreshed skin with continued improvement over time.

Carboxytherapy works by introducing a controlled amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the skin, which temporarily creates a state of localized hypercapnia—an increase in CO₂ concentration within the tissue. The body interprets this as an oxygen deficit, even though oxygen is still present. In response, it activates a well-established physiological mechanism known as the Bohr Effect, where hemoglobin releases more oxygen into the surrounding tissue when CO₂ levels rise. This leads to a rapid increase in tissue oxygenation, which enhances cellular respiration and boosts the energy production of skin cells.

At the same time, the presence of CO₂ causes vasodilation, meaning the small blood vessels in the treated area expand. This significantly improves microcirculation, allowing more oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors to reach the skin while also accelerating the removal of metabolic waste. This improved blood flow supports healthier cell function and creates an optimal environment for tissue repair and regeneration. The increased circulation is one of the reasons clients often see an immediate improvement in skin tone and radiance after treatment.

On a cellular level, the rise in oxygen and nutrient delivery stimulates fibroblast activity, which is essential for the production of collagen and elastin. These structural proteins are responsible for the skin’s firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. Additionally, the mechanical effect of the injected gas creates mild, controlled stress within the tissue, which further triggers the body’s natural healing response. This combination of chemical signaling and physical stimulation leads to long-term improvements in skin texture, reduced fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation.

This treatment is grounded in the Bohr Effect, a scientifically proven physiological response.

When CO₂ is introduced into the skin:

• Blood vessels dilate
• Oxygen delivery increases
• Cellular metabolism accelerates

Our device actively controls CO₂ infusion, resulting in:

• Greater oxygen saturation in tissues
• More efficient collagen stimulation
• Enhanced lymphatic drainage
• Improved treatment consistency

Clinical Benefits:

• Skin brightening and radiance
• Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne and inflammation control
• Improved elasticity and firmness
• Reduction in dark circles and dullness

This is why machine-assisted Carboxy treatments are considered a next-generation upgrade to traditional facials.
