Carboxytherapy — Body & Cellulite

Carboxytherapy applied to the body, using fine-needle micro-injections of medical carbon dioxide to support microcirculation in areas affected by cellulite, localised laxity, stretch marks or scars. Dermedica prices a wide range of body zones individually — from knees and arms to abdomen, buttocks, thighs and a full-body session. It is a non-surgical option for clients targeting skin tone and texture on the body, and works best as a course.

Body carboxytherapy applies the same principle as the facial treatment — controlled micro-doses of medical carbon dioxide delivered just beneath the skin through very fine needles — to larger areas of the body. By prompting a local increase in blood flow, it is associated with improved microcirculation and stimulation of the skin's renewal processes, which is why it is commonly used to help address the appearance of cellulite, mild skin laxity, stretch marks and scars. Dermedica offers it across a broad set of zones, including the abdomen and flanks, buttocks, thighs, knees, arms and the décolleté, as well as targeted work on scars and stretch marks and a full-body session. At the studio the area is cleansed and the gas is introduced through a fine needle; a sensation of pressure, warmth or crackling under the skin is normal and eases within minutes. A body session typically takes around twenty to forty minutes depending on the size of the area. Downtime is minimal, with possible short-lived redness or tenderness. Because results accumulate, body carboxytherapy is best done as a course of several sessions spaced about a week apart, often combined with body mesotherapy for cellulite or laxity, which the studio also offers. It may support firmer-looking, better-toned skin and a smoother surface in the treated area, though it is not a weight-loss treatment and realistic expectations are discussed at assessment. Suitability is reviewed beforehand and the treatment is avoided in pregnancy and certain medical conditions.
