CO₂ treatments, also known as carbon dioxide facials or carboxytherapy, are non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedures that help improve circulation, boost collagen production, and restore a healthy, radiant glow. This advanced skincare option targets fine lines, dullness, and uneven texture—leaving skin noticeably smoother and more refreshed.
CO2 treatment is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses carbon dioxide to refresh the skin from within. This advanced skincare method relies on a natural physiological process known as the Bohr effect—where increased CO₂ levels prompt the body to deliver more oxygen to the skin. As oxygen circulation improves, your skin boosts:
Blood flow
Cell metabolism
Oxygen delivery
Collagen and elastin production
Depending on the method, CO2 can be delivered through:
A topical gel and mask system that generates CO₂ on the skin
Injectable gas for more intensive carboxytherapy sessions
By enhancing oxygenation and stimulating cellular activity, CO2 treatments support natural skin renewal and improved elasticity.
CO2 treatment offers a wide variety of skin-improving benefits that develop gradually with consistent sessions. Some of the most common results include:
Brighter, more radiant skin
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Firmer skin with improved elasticity
Decreased under-eye puffiness and discoloration
Faded acne scars and dark spots
Minimized pores and smoother texture
These outcomes make CO₂ treatments ideal for clients looking to refresh their appearance without surgery or extended downtime.
A typical CO2 facial treatment lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on your individual skin concerns and the delivery method used.
Sensation: Most clients describe the feeling as a mild tingling or warming.
Downtime: There’s typically little to no downtime. Slight redness may occur but usually fades within hours.
Results: While some clients notice a subtle glow after just one session, optimal results usually require a series of 4 to 6 treatments.
Beyond facial rejuvenation, CO2 treatment also offers effective skin resurfacing benefits, targeting deeper imperfections and promoting long-term improvements:
Reduction in wrinkles and fine lines
Smoother skin tone and texture
Diminished acne and surgical scars
Fading of sun spots, discoloration, and sun damage
Tighter, more elastic skin
Because CO₂ treatments gently remove the damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen, the results are both immediate and progressive.
