Carboxytherapy

Carboxytherapy introduces small, controlled amounts of medical carbon dioxide just under the skin, a stimulus associated with improved local microcirculation and skin quality. At EstheticKompleks it is used on areas such as the under-eyes, face and body to support tone and the appearance of dark circles, stretch marks or cellulite. Priced clearly per session, it is usually done as a short course.

Carboxytherapy is a treatment in which a small, controlled volume of medical-grade carbon dioxide gas is delivered just beneath the skin through a very fine needle. The local rise in carbon dioxide is associated with a temporary increase in blood flow to the area and a stimulus to the skin's microcirculation and tissue, effects that practitioners use to support skin tone and the appearance of concerns such as under-eye dark circles, stretch marks and cellulite. At EstheticKompleks the area is assessed and the gas administered through fine injections; you may feel a brief stretching, tingling or crackling sensation under the skin as the gas disperses, which settles quickly. The appointment is short with little downtime, though mild redness or a temporary sensation in the area can occur. Because the effect is cumulative, carboxytherapy is generally associated with the best results as a course of several sessions spaced a week or two apart, with the number tailored to the area and concern. It is commonly applied to the delicate under-eye area, the face and various body regions, and is often combined with other skin treatments the studio offers. Suitability and contraindications are reviewed beforehand, and the treatment is avoided during pregnancy. Pricing is a clear per-session fee that depends on the area treated.
