In fact, carboxytherapy is a treatment for cellulite, stretch marks and dark circles under the eyes. In addition to the area around the eyes, carboxytherapy can also be applied to the eyelids, neck, face, arms, buttocks, stomach, and legs. Regarding the safety of carboxytherapy, it should be said that this method has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is currently being performed all over the world, including Iran.
What is carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy refers to the dermal and subcutaneous injection of carbon dioxide gas [CO2] for therapeutic purposes. Carboxytherapy was started in 1932 in the Royal Spas of France to treat patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease. In South America and Europe, carbon dioxide has been used to treat stretch marks, cellulite and hypertrophic ulcers with impressive results, and now this method is very popular in Iran. There are no known risks in this regard.
How is carboxytherapy performed?
Carboxytherapy is actually the injection of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide mechanism is present in our body all the time. We breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide; Plants absorb carbon dioxide and in turn give us the oxygen we need. All body cells, regardless of their job (heart cells, brain cells, skin cells) release carbon dioxide as waste. So, we breathe oxygen into our lungs, red blood cells collect the oxygen in our lungs and transport it to our tissues, and the body gives back carbon dioxide. When blood cells are exposed to high concentrations of carbon dioxide, they flip their order, release oxygen molecules, and pick up carbon dioxide so we can carry it out of our lungs.
In a sense, by injecting a small amount of carbon dioxide gas just below the surface of the skin, we trick that area into increasing blood circulation. Dark circles under the eyes, cellulite and stretch marks are also often some of the signs and results of poor circulation. The specifics of carboxytherapy will vary based on the part of the body being treated; However, the mechanics of the method are mostly the same. The carbon dioxide gas tank is connected to a flow regulator with plastic pipes; The doctor will carefully adjust how much gas flows from the tank. The gas is transferred through the flow regulator and into the sterile tubes, which have a filter at the end; The filter collects impurities before reaching the body. The gas then passes through a very small needle on the opposite side of the filter, the doctor injects the gas under the skin through the needle. This procedure is almost completely painless; Some doctors apply numbing cream to the injection site before inserting the needle. Despite the lack of pain, some people report experiencing a strange sensation shortly afterwards. Carboxytherapy is an outpatient procedure and usually takes only 15 to 30 minutes.

What are the results of carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy actually uses a needle to inject medical carbon dioxide gas under the skin; This action destroys fat cells, stimulates blood flow, improves skin elasticity and significantly reduces cellulite. If you want to get rid of cellulite, stretch marks, or other skin issues but don’t want to use surgery or worry about the dreaded side effects, carboxytherapy may be just what you’re looking for. A doctor can increase blood circulation to a specific area by injecting carbon dioxide, which causes red blood cells to come to the area. As blood cells arrive at the site, blood circulation increases; This is to restore the elastic surface of the skin and, in the case of under-eye circles, to change the pigmentation to a healthy glow.
The reasons for the results obtained in the practice of carboxytherapy are due to the specific type of its mechanism, which can also be analyzed separately, such as:
Dark circles under the eyes: Dark circles under the eyes are usually caused by poor blood circulation, which creates so-called vascular pools. Gas injection under the eyelid reduces these factors; This treatment takes only five minutes and is virtually painless and risk-free. A series of 2-6 treatments spaced one week apart is all that is required to achieve an excellent result.
What are the side effects of carboxytherapy?
When you want to improve your appearance and have cosmetic surgery, you’ve no doubt heard the common phrase “no pain, no benefit,” but compared to other plastic surgeries, carboxytherapy is said to have minimal side effects. And it hurts. You may feel discomfort during the procedure, which will vary depending on the problem being treated. Interestingly, the side effects will be so low that after completing a course of carboxytherapy treatment, you can usually return to your usual activities immediately. After the carboxytherapy treatment, you may feel heat or needles for a short time at the injection site; This is considered normal; Because in the treated areas after carboxytherapy, carbon dioxide gas does its work and blood circulation improves. Treating cellulite and fat deposits may cause carbon dioxide to expand into the deposits and cause you to feel pressure. If you experience unusual side effects after treatment, you should consult a doctor.
