Theory

Carboxytherapy is the administration of carbon dioxide [CO2] gas for therapeutic 

purposes. Carbon Dioxide is the gas that gives carbonated beverages their “fizz.” 

It should not be confused with Carbon Monoxide gas, which is a by-product of oil combustion that can be deadly.

How was carboxytherapy discovered?

Carboxytherapy was discovered in the Royal Spas of France in the 1930’s 

when bathing in the pools of carbon dioxide rich waters was shown to speed 

wound healing. 

What other benefits occur from carboxytherapy?
In addition to increasing oxygenated blood-flow to the region injected,

carboxytherapy also increases collagen formation in the skin, giving it a more

youthful appearance.

How does carboxytherapy work for dark under eye circles?
One major cause of dark under eye circles is vascular pooling. The capillary network

of the lower eyelids can become congested for a variety of reasons. Normally, the

tears drain from the eyelids into the nose, but if there is some obstruction due to

chronic nasal congestion from seasonal allergies, previous nasal fracture, or a

deviated septum, the drainage doesn't function well, and the blood flow to the

lower eyelids becomes sluggish, giving rise to the boggy blue tinge known casually

as allergic shiners. The lack of appropriate oxygenation to the lower eyelid skin

allows the bluish cast to show through the thin skin of the eyelids. Carboxytherapy

works to improve the capillary network of the lower eyelids, as well as to increase

the dermal collagen layer in the lower eyelid skin. By injecting a small amount of

carbon dioxide gas into the affected areas, blood flow is increased and improved

capillary networks are formed for longer lasting circulatory benefit. The bluish cast

is replaced with a healthy pink tone. Once a series of treatments is completed, the

skin has a more luminous appearance that lasts approximately six months. .

How does carboxytherapy work for stretchmarks?
Stretchmarks (striae distensae) occur when the skin is stretched to the point where

the dermal collagen ruptures. Carboxytherapy causes the formation of new collagen

and subsequently thickens the skin to improve the appearance of the stretchmarks

by rebuilding the collagen matrix.

How does carboxytherapy work for alopecia?
The conditions that cause or are caused by circulation compromise, are the conditions

that can be treated with this modality due to the revascularization and improvements

in micro circulation caused by this therapy. Thus carboxytherapy has been known to

also treat acute arthritis, erectile dysfunction, rheumatology and raynauds syndrome.

If carboxytherapy is used to melt fat, won?t it make my eyelids hollow?
No. The technique used to treat dark circles beneath the eyelids is different than the

technique used to treat fat. However, there are some instances where I may wish to

dissolve fat beneath the eyelids using a technique that I created.
