Carboxytherapy in Sherburn in Elmet
Carbon dioxide therapy to boost circulation and skin renewal.
Carboxytherapy uses a small amount of carbon dioxide gas, introduced just beneath the skin, to stimulate circulation and encourage skin renewal. It is sometimes chosen for dull or tired-looking skin.
It is a short treatment, booked for 30 min. You may feel a warm, tingling pressure while it is given, and we explain what to expect before we begin. A course of sessions is usually suggested.
What to expect
- We assess your skin and talk through the plan, including how many sessions are usually advised.
- Your skin is cleansed and prepared before the treatment, and numbing is used if suitable.
- Your skin may be pink or feel warm afterwards, and this usually settles within a day or two.
Aftercare
- Use a high-factor SPF daily and avoid strong sun while your skin recovers.
- Use only gentle skincare for the first few days and avoid active ingredients until we say otherwise.
- Avoid make-up, swimming, saunas and intense exercise for the first 24 hours.
- Don't pick or peel any flaking skin; let it come away naturally.
This is general guidance. We'll give you advice specific to you at your appointment, and if you are ever worried afterwards, get in touch or seek medical advice. All aftercare advice
