Carboxytherapy is a medical aesthetic procedure that involves the application of gaseous carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the skin through small microinjections. This gas is known for its vasodilatory properties and its ability to improve blood circulation and tissue oxygenation.
During the session, a specialized device is used to precisely administer CO₂ into the specific areas of the body to be treated.
The microinjections are applied beneath the skin, where the gas acts to increase blood flow and stimulate the metabolism of fat cells.
One of the main goals of Carboxytherapy is to reduce localized fat and cellulite. Improved blood circulation helps eliminate fat deposits and toxins, resulting in smoother and more toned skin. Additionally, carboxytherapy can be effective in improving the appearance of stretch marks and scars, as well as rejuvenating the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
The procedure is generally minimally painful, although some patients may experience a mild itching or warming sensation during the gas application. The duration of the treatment and the number of sessions required vary according to the patient’s individual needs and treatment goals. In most cases, multiple sessions are recommended to achieve optimal results.
After treatment, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve quickly.

Carboxytherapy is used to treat a variety of aesthetic conditions, including cellulite, stretch marks, skin laxity, dark under-eye circles, and localized fat deposits. It is also used to improve skin elasticity and for facial rejuvenation treatments.
By injecting CO₂ into the subcutaneous tissue, the body responds by increasing blood flow and oxygenation in the treated area. This enhances cellular regeneration and collagen production, contributing to firmer and healthier skin. In addition, CO₂ helps break down fat cells, which can reduce localized fat and the appearance of cellulite.
Carboxytherapy may cause a sensation of discomfort or pressure in the treated area during injection, but it is generally not painful. Most patients describe the sensation as mild tingling or itching, which disappears shortly after the treatment.
Each carboxytherapy session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the patient’s individual needs.
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated and the patient’s goals. Generally, 6 to 12 sessions, performed once or twice per week, are recommended for optimal results.
Results may begin to be noticeable after the first 3 to 4 sessions, with more significant improvements usually observed at the end of the full treatment cycle. Results improve progressively as sessions continue.
The duration of results depends on the type of treatment and the patient’s lifestyle. In general, results can last for several months, especially when a healthy diet and regular exercise are maintained. Maintenance sessions may be performed to prolong the results.
Side effects of carboxytherapy are generally mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, and sensitivity in the treated area. In rare cases, small bruises may appear. These effects usually resolve within a few hours or days.
