Carboxytherapy

Carboxytherapy is an injectable therapeutic procedure based on intradermal or subcutaneous administration of medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO₂). The treatment improves microcirculation, increases tissue oxygenation, and stimulates regenerative processes, including collagen and elastin synthesis. As a result, the skin becomes firmer, more elastic, and better nourished.

The procedure is used in both facial and body treatments, including anti-aging therapies, reduction of dark under-eye circles, improvement of overall skin quality, as well as supportive treatments for cellulite and stretch mark reduction. This lesson introduces the mechanism of action of CO₂, client qualification principles, safety standards, and proper treatment protocols.

The learning process includes theoretical content, instructional video materials, detailed step-by-step procedures, and a certificate of completion, preparing participants to consciously and safely perform carboxytherapy in professional practice.

Learning Outcomes

After completing the lesson, the participant is able to:

• explain the definition of carboxytherapy and its application in professional esthetics practice
• describe the mechanism of action of carbon dioxide (CO₂) on tissues, microcirculation, and regenerative processes
