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
