Carboxytherapy (Venusian)

Carboxytherapy delivers small amounts of medical carbon dioxide just under the skin through a very fine needle to improve microcirculation and skin quality. Used on the eye area, face, neck and body, it is associated with firmer, better-toned skin and is often chosen for the under-eye area and for body areas. It is typically performed as a course of sessions.

Carboxytherapy is a treatment in which a controlled amount of medical-grade carbon dioxide gas is introduced just beneath the skin through a very fine needle. The local rise in carbon dioxide is thought to prompt the body to increase blood flow to the area, improving microcirculation and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue. This is associated with improvements in skin tone, firmness and the appearance of the treated area. At EsteticaMed the treatment uses a Venusian carboxytherapy system and is carried out by a physician. A session is short, generally around twenty to thirty minutes depending on the area, and most people feel only a brief tingling, pressure or warmth as the gas disperses. There is little to no downtime, although mild tenderness or a temporary crackling sensation under the skin can occur immediately afterwards. Because the effect is cumulative, carboxytherapy is usually delivered as a course of sessions spaced a week or two apart, with the eye area, face and neck, arms, abdomen, thighs and buttocks all treatable and priced by region. It is commonly chosen to refresh the under-eye area and to support skin quality on the body, and is often combined with other treatments the clinic offers. Suitability and any contraindications are reviewed by the doctor beforehand, and the treatment is avoided in pregnancy.
