Carboxy Therapy
Introduction to Carboxytherapy
With Dr. Mina’s Carboxytherapy, your skin becomes refreshed, energized, and youthful again. By increasing blood flow and oxygenation, issues such as thin skin, darkening, and sagging are reduced. This safe and effective method provides a comfortable experience and rewarding results for healthy, radiant skin.
Introduction to Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy is a modern, minimally invasive, and non-surgical method for skin rejuvenation and improving skin quality, which has gained great popularity in recent years. In this method, carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) is injected in a controlled and safe manner into the deeper layers of the skin. The entry of this gas into skin tissues increases blood circulation, enhances cell nourishment, and naturally stimulates collagen and elastin production. As a result, the skin becomes clearer, firmer, younger, and more radiant.
Carboxytherapy is not only used for beauty purposes but also offers therapeutic benefits. Its therapeutic effects include reducing dark circles and puffiness under the eyes, improving scars and stretch marks, reducing cellulite, and enhancing skin elasticity. Due to its minimally invasive nature, mild discomfort, and short recovery period, it has become one of the most popular skincare methods in Isfahan and other cities in Iran.
The major advantage of carboxytherapy is that it can naturally restore the skin without the need for surgery or anesthesia, reducing signs of aging and environmental skin damage. This method can also be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as mesotherapy, microneedling, or Botox to achieve more optimal therapeutic and cosmetic results.
By choosing a reputable clinic and a qualified doctor, carboxytherapy provides a comfortable, safe, and effective experience for improving skin quality and can be used as part of a regular skincare routine to maintain youthful and vibrant skin.
