Carboxytherapy

Lesson overview

Carboxytherapy within the annual program is introduced as an injectable procedure involving intradermal or subcutaneous administration of medical-grade CO₂ to stimulate microcirculation, improve tissue oxygenation, and induce vascular responses that support skin regeneration and tissue metabolism. The lesson focuses on the conscious use of gaseous stimulus in aesthetic therapies, taking into account physiological tissue responses and procedural safety.

The material covers the mechanism of action of carbon dioxide, principles of client qualification, and protocols for performing carboxytherapy as both a standalone procedure and a component of combined treatment plans. The practical section focuses on step-by-step CO₂ administration techniques, monitoring tissue response, and planning treatment series in professional practice.
