Co2 Carboxy Therapy

What is Co2 Carboxy Therapy?
CO₂ Carboxy Therapy has its roots in medical treatments developed in France in the 1930s, where carbon dioxide was used to improve circulation and support healing in patients with vascular conditions. Over time, this technology evolved and was adapted into aesthetic treatments as its ability to enhance oxygen delivery and skin function became more widely understood.

A Science-Driven Approach to Healthier Skin

CO₂ Carboxy Therapy is an advanced skin treatment that works with your body’s natural physiology to improve skin function and appearance. Using a medical grade gel and activating mask system, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is delivered to the surface of the skin, triggering a response known as the Bohr effect.

This process encourages your skin to release oxygen into the tissue, increasing circulation and supporting cellular repair. The result is skin that looks brighter, feels more hydrated, and functions more efficiently—without aggressive exfoliation or downtime.

What It Does for Your Skin

As oxygen delivery increases, several key processes are supported. Skin appears more radiant and evenly toned, with improved hydration and a smoother texture. Over time, this boost in circulation and oxygenation can also help support collagen activity, giving the skin a firmer, more resilient look.

Because the treatment works with the skin rather than against it, it’s a great option for those looking to enhance results without compromising the barrier.

Who It’s For

CO₂ Carboxy Therapy is well-suited for a wide range of skin types and concerns. It’s especially beneficial for those experiencing dullness, dehydration, early signs of aging, or a general lack of vitality in the skin.

It can also be a great addition for clients who prefer a more barrier-friendly, non-aggressive approach to skincare, or for those who want to enhance the results of their facial without adding downtime.

What to Expect During Treatment

The treatment begins with the application of a CO₂-activating gel, followed by a specialized mask that allows the reaction to occur on the skin. As the treatment activates, you may feel a tingling, prickly, or lightly warming sensation. You may also hear a sizzling sound! This is a normal response and indicates increased circulation and oxygen activity within the skin.

The sensation typically peaks within the first several minutes and gradually subsides. Most clients find it very tolerable, and the treatment is completed within about 15–20 minutes.

After removal, the skin may appear slightly flushed from increased circulation, but this fades quickly—revealing a complexion that looks refreshed, plumper, and more radiant.
