What is Carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy is a gentle yet effective aesthetic medicine treatment that harnesses the power of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to restore balance, vitality, and luminosity to the skin. By delivering small amounts of CO₂ beneath the dermis, this technique stimulates blood flow, boosts oxygen supply to the tissues, and encourages natural collagen production.
The result is a visible improvement in tone, elasticity, and texture. Whether reducing dark under-eye circles, refining recent scars, softening stretch marks, or rejuvenating delicate areas such as the neck and décolleté, carboxytherapy works in harmony with the body’s own processes.
Because CO₂ is naturally produced by the body and carried through the bloodstream, its use in this treatment is both safe and well-tolerated — offering a non-invasive path to healthier, more radiant skin.
Who is it For?
Carboxytherapy is suitable for both men and women seeking to address common skin concerns without downtime or invasive measures. It is particularly recommended for:
- Dark under-eye circles: Restores brightness by improving microcirculation and reducing the bluish or purplish hue.
- Loss of firmness: Revives skin on the face, neck, and décolleté with visible toning and smoothing.
- Stretch marks and scars: Refines skin texture and promotes healing of new marks.
- General rejuvenation: Boosts hydration, elasticity, and radiance for a refreshed appearance.
Each treatment is tailored to the individual, taking into account lifestyle, skin type, and goals, ensuring results that feel natural and balanced.
Type of Treatment & Duration
Carboxytherapy is a minimally invasive treatment performed with ultra-fine needles, ensuring comfort throughout the session. A single session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
The sensation is often described as a light tingling or warmth beneath the skin as the CO₂ spreads — a sign of increased circulation and oxygenation. This feeling subsides within minutes, leaving no visible marks or irritation.
Procedure & Recovery
Step 1 – Preparation
The treatment area is gently cleansed and disinfected to ensure complete comfort and safety.
Step 2 – Injections
Using a fine needle attached to the carboxytherapy device, controlled amounts of CO₂ are delivered beneath the skin. The gas diffuses into the bloodstream almost immediately, stimulating oxygen delivery to the cells and activating collagen remodeling.
Step 3 – Aftercare
Mild sensations of warmth or temporary swelling may appear during or just after the session, but these quickly fade as the CO₂ is naturally absorbed and eliminated by the body.
There is no downtime — patients may return to daily activities immediately, making carboxytherapy a convenient “lunchtime” treatment.
Hospital Stay & Outcomes
Carboxytherapy is performed on an outpatient basis. Patients are welcomed into a private, comfortable treatment suite and return home immediately after their session, with no restrictions on social or professional activity.
Results
Results are progressive and cumulative. After just one session, the skin appears fresher, more radiant, and hydrated. With a series of treatments, elasticity improves, scars and stretch marks soften, and under-eye circles become noticeably lighter.
For long-term results, maintenance sessions are recommended 3 to 4 times per year, helping to preserve youthful firmness and clarity over time.
Safety & Comfort
Carboxytherapy is safe, allergy-free, and biocompatible, as it uses a gas naturally produced by the body. At Guess Clinic, every session is performed with precision equipment and sterile technique, ensuring both effectiveness and comfort.
Any minor post-treatment sensations — such as tingling or warmth — are brief and normal, resolving within minutes. With careful monitoring and tailored protocols, patients can feel reassured at every step of their journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe carboxytherapy as very tolerable. The ultra-fine needle and small amounts of CO₂ create only a mild tingling or warmth, which fades quickly once the session is complete.
Will there be visible marks afterward?
No lasting marks are left on the skin. A slight swelling or redness may appear for a few minutes, but it disappears naturally, allowing you to return to daily activities right away.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your goals and the condition being treated. Some patients notice a visible boost after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart for more lasting rejuvenation.
Can carboxytherapy help with stretch marks?
Yes, it is particularly effective on newer stretch marks. By stimulating blood flow and collagen production, the treatment helps improve both texture and color, making marks less visible over time.
How long do the results last?
With a proper course of sessions, results can last several months. To maintain firmness and radiance, many patients schedule 3–4 maintenance treatments per year, keeping the skin refreshed throughout the seasons.
