Facial carboxytherapy

Facial carboxytherapy is a non-surgical treatment that delivers carbon dioxide (CO2) under the skin to oxygenate the tissue and stimulate collagen and elastin. It reduces signs of tiredness, wrinkles and dark circles and improves the overall appearance of the skin.

What it is

It is the therapeutic use of carbon dioxide delivered under the skin. CO2 is a gas naturally present in the body, and when it is introduced in a controlled way it has several beneficial effects on the skin.

Injected under the skin, it stimulates blood circulation in the treated area. The increased blood flow improves tissue oxygenation, which in turn stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the two proteins that keep skin firm and elastic.

It is carried out with purpose-built equipment that regulates the flow rate, injection time and gas temperature and monitors the percentage of the dose administered.

Who it is for

It is suitable if you want to tackle facial ageing and improve the appearance of your skin without surgery, especially if you are concerned about:

  • Signs of tiredness and dull skin.
  • Wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Dark circles.
  • Scars.

Areas

  • Face.
  • Neck.
  • Dark circles.

The session

The CO2 is introduced through small, very precise subcutaneous injections. No anaesthesia is needed and the session takes about 20 minutes. We adapt each session to you and answer your questions before we start.

Number of sessions

For the best results we recommend a course of 8 sessions.

Results

The first changes can be seen from 15 days, and the improvement builds as the course progresses: shallower wrinkles and brighter, firmer skin.

Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of facial carboxytherapy, and how do they show in the skin?
It evens out skin tone, reducing marks, discolouration and uneven pigmentation. It brightens the skin, because it stimulates blood circulation and the oxygen supply to the tissues, which helps dull, tired skin. It firms the skin: it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin elastic and firm, so it can reduce laxity and improve overall texture. It can also improve scars, including those caused by acne or skin injuries. By promoting cell renewal and increasing blood flow, it softens scars and leaves the skin smoother and more even.
What does the procedure involve, and what is controlled during treatment?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is applied under the skin in a controlled way, using specialised equipment. During the session, CO2 is introduced through small needles or cannulas so it spreads evenly through the treated tissue. The equipment controls the gas flow rate, for the patient's comfort; the injection time, so the gas spreads evenly; and the gas temperature, to minimise discomfort or a burning sensation. The dose administered is also monitored to avoid unwanted side effects.
How many sessions are needed to see noticeable results?
It depends on each patient and on how marked the skin concerns are. In general we recommend a full course of about 8 sessions. The treatment works progressively: some effects, such as brighter skin or softer wrinkles, may appear after a few sessions, but the full effect is usually seen once the whole course is complete.
When can the first changes in the skin be seen?
The first changes usually appear at around 15 days: brighter skin, softer-looking wrinkles and a fresher look. Results vary from person to person and with how marked the concerns are. Further improvement may need more sessions, and time after treatment for the skin to renew.
Who is a good candidate for facial carboxytherapy?
Good candidates are people with signs of skin ageing, such as wrinkles, fine lines, laxity and dull skin, and those who want to reduce dark circles, acne scars or other skin imperfections. It also suits people who want a non-surgical, non-invasive option without the risks or recovery time of more invasive procedures. A qualified doctor should assess each candidate first, to confirm the treatment is suitable and set realistic expectations about results and recovery.
Is facial carboxytherapy available at the Manacor clinic?
Yes. You can contact us for more information or to book a consultation at the Manacor clinic.
