What is Carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy is a treatment in which carbon dioxide is administered under the patient’s skin. The procedure involves injecting CO₂ gas into specific areas of the skin. Its administration increases blood flow to the treated area, which promotes cell regeneration, improves oxygenation, and enhances the supply of nutrients already present in the body. These nutrients do not need to be supplied from outside; rather, the body’s ability to utilise those already present is simply improved.
Carboxytherapy smooths the skin, improves its elasticity and firmness, and helps reduce stretch marks, cellulite and body fat. When performed on the face, it reduces wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness under the eyes.
Carboxytherapy – the procedure
Carbon dioxide stimulates circulation. Thanks to improved circulation, nutrients reach the cells more quickly, and the cells themselves are stimulated to regenerate and grow. The skin responds to CO2 with a controlled inflammatory response, during which collagen cells regenerate. Carbon dioxide therapy is completely safe and causes no side effects.
The treatment takes between a few and several dozen minutes, depending on the area being treated. The treatment does not require anaesthesia or a recovery period. The effects become visible after about a week, and the best results are achieved through a course of treatments.
What results can we achieve with Carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy is a treatment with an exceptionally wide range of effects and applications. Thanks to its highly effective impact on skin blood flow, as well as its ability to stimulate the body to produce more collagen, the skin at the injection site becomes brighter, firmer and better nourished, resulting in enhanced regenerative properties.
This facial treatment can, for example, very effectively reduce dark circles under the eyes caused by puffiness resulting from fatigue.

Skin ageing is a natural process that manifests itself in the form of wrinkles, loss of firmness and changes in pigmentation. Medistica offers a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
By combining cutting-edge technology with the expertise of our specialists, we can effectively slow down the ageing process and restore the skin’s youthful appearance.
If home care isn’t working, it’s worth seeing a specialist. At Medistica, we offer a range of treatments to help reduce dark circles under the eyes and restore a fresh appearance.
We will diagnose the cause of the dark circles and suggest the best solution – from mesotherapy to laser treatments.
The sagging of the facial contours begins after the age of 40 as a result of a loss of elasticity and the loosening of collagen fibres.
Modern anti-ageing medicine offers solutions that can restore skin firmness and the face’s natural proportions, eliminating a tired appearance.
Treatment for stretch marks should begin as early as possible to achieve faster and better results.
There are two stages in the development of stretch marks: the inflammatory stage with red streaks (lasting around 6 months, when laser treatments are most effective) and the atrophic stage with white, pearly discolouration requiring a greater number of sessions.
All laser procedures are performed by experienced, qualified doctors.
