What is a carboxytherapy facial?
By the age of 30, oxygen levels in our skin drop by 25% and about 50% by the age of 40, making skin prone to the signs of aging.
​
The Cliniccare carboxytherapy facial is a non-invasive treatment where carbon dioxide is infused into the skin to encourage an increased flow of oxygen.
​Our body responds by increasing blood flow and growth factors, which in turn encourages an increase in capillary activity.
​
This provides a surge of oxygen and nutrients to the treated area and improves circulation, resulting in cell restoration, a reduction in fine lines, and collagen stimulation.
What are the benefits of a carboxytherapy facial?
- Reduces fine lines
- Tissue tightening and brightening
- Skin regeneration
- Elasatin stimulation
- Hydration
- Reduction of dark under-eye circles
- Improvement in circulation
- Improved lymphoid drainage
