Behind the Glow: How Carboxy Therapy Works

Carboxy Therapy is one of those skin-changing experiences that blends instant gratification with long-term skin performance. But what actually happens during this treatment?

Step One: The Mask That Starts It All

We begin by applying a specialized gel to the skin, followed by a dry mask that’s activated once it contacts the gel. This duo creates a natural chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly into the skin’s surface.

Step Two: Your Body Takes Over

Here’s where the science comes into play. As CO₂ increases in the skin, your body perceives it as a lack of oxygen. The response? A rush of oxygen-rich blood floods the area — a process called the Bohr effect. This surge instantly increases circulation, nutrient delivery, and cellular energy.

Step Three: Detox, Restore, Glow

That oxygen boost doesn’t just feel good — it resets how your skin functions. You’ll notice improved tone, more even texture, and that fresh, post-facial glow. It’s also beneficial for calming redness and reducing inflammation and acne.

Why We Love It 

Carboxy Therapy is amazing on it’s own, and it also pairs well to boost other treatments. We often combine with Hydrafacial to amplify results. It enhances hydration, glow, and skin resilience — without any downtime.

The Result: Refreshed, revitalized, oxygenated skin that glows naturally.
