WHAT IS CARBOXYTHERAPY
Carboxytherapy is the therapeutic use of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to support local circulation and oxygen delivery in skin and underlying tissue.
The delivery methods differ. The foundational physiologic concept remains the same.
Traditional carboxytherapy introduces purified CO₂ through small injections beneath the skin.
A self-generating gel produces CO₂ and maintains contact with the treatment area in a non-invasive, device-free format.
Japanese Samurai warriors were believed to use naturally carbonated hot springs to support wound healing and recovery after battle, an early example of the therapeutic use of carbon dioxide-rich waters.
Naturally carbonated mineral springs were prized for their apparent healing effects. The first documented, deliberate therapeutic use of purified carbon dioxide is traced to a German spa in the early 1700s.
At the famous thermal springs of Royat, physicians moved beyond bathing and used carbon dioxide injections directly to treat poor circulation and slow-healing wounds , widely considered the birthplace of modern carboxytherapy.
A dedicated research institute in Royat helped formalize the practice, producing decades of clinical study and spreading the technique across Europe and, later, South America.
The term "carboxytherapy" was formally introduced to the medical community at an aesthetic-medicine assembly in Rome, giving the century-old practice a single, recognizable name.
As it gained popularity in Europe and Brazil where dedicated clinics became commonplace, it crossed into the U.S. aesthetic scene. Certain CO₂ delivery devices received U.S. regulatory clearance in this period.
Topical carboxytherapy gel has extended the treatment beyond the clinic, making CO₂-based tissue support available for everyday skin health and gentle, needle-free recovery.
THE BOHR EFFECT
CO₂ HELPS SIGNAL OXYGEN RELEASE WHERE IT IS NEEDED.
When local CO₂ concentration increases, hemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen
decreases, facilitating oxygen release into surrounding tissue.
A treatment delivers a burst of carbon dioxide to the skin. Think of red blood cells as delivery trucks carrying oxygen, they need a signal for where to drop it off.
Wherever CO₂ is high, the body assumes that tissue is working hard and needs oxygen. Small blood vessels widen and circulation opens up toward the area.
Fresh, oxygen-rich blood floods in bringing nutrients and carrying waste away using nothing but your body's own delivery system.
