Carboxytherapy at Skinology uses CO2-saturated masks to trigger a physiological Bohr effect response in the skin — the body interprets elevated local CO2 as a signal of metabolic demand and responds by increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the area. This cascade activates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, improves microcirculation, and accelerates cellular metabolism. The treatment addresses sagging skin, wrinkles, pigmentation, dry skin, rosacea, and active acne within a 60-minute session with no recovery time. Unlike injectable carboxytherapy (which uses direct gas injection), Skinology's mask-based protocol is non-invasive and appropriate for facial use on all skin types. The treatment is noted to be particularly effective for summer skin refreshment — a popular option before holidays or outdoor events.
About this treatment
Carboxytherapy is a technique based on the application of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the skin to trigger a beneficial physiological response. The underlying mechanism is the Bohr effect: elevated local CO2 concentration signals to the body that metabolic activity in the tissue is high, prompting vasodilation and increased blood delivery carrying oxygen and nutrients to the area. This results in a measurable increase in microcirculation, fibroblast…
At Skinology, carboxytherapy is delivered via a mask-based application system (carboxy masks) rather than injection. CO2-saturated gel or sheet masks are applied to the face, creating a high-CO2 microenvironment against the skin surface. The CO2 diffuses transdermally, triggering the Bohr effect response without any needles, pain, or recovery time. This distinguishes the treatment sharply from injectable carboxytherapy (used in body contouring and…
