Carboxytherapy®

Overview

Carboxytherapy employs transdermal injections to infuse gaseous carbon dioxide below the skin into the subcutaneous tissue through a needle. This dilates the blood vessels and allows for extensive oxygenation of the tissue which can dramatically brighten the under-eye area and treat dark circles. It can also be used for smokers who have dullness due to their decreased oxygen flow in the skin, restoring their radiance. Stretch marks and cellulite are also treated using this technique.
