Carboxytherapy in Wroclaw, Poland – Nowa Estetyka Medical Center
Carboxytherapy is an aesthetic medicine treatment, categorized as a type of mesotherapy, where instead of vitamin-rich nutritional cocktails being applied subcutaneously, carbon dioxide is introduced under the skin. Carbon dioxide therapy is an effective, non-invasive, and clinically proven method to address some of the most common concerns seen in aesthetic medicine clinics. Carboxytherapy can be used as a standalone skin rejuvenation treatment or as a complementary therapy.
Carboxytherapy – Results
- Improved skin blood circulation and better oxygenation of tissues (microcirculation stimulation)
- Activation of metabolic processes
- Increased skin density
- Regeneration of hair follicles
- Stimulation of cells to increase collagen and elastin production
- Improved skin elasticity, resulting in a “rejuvenated” appearance
- Skin revitalization and wrinkle filling
Carboxytherapy – Indications
- Reduction of fine facial wrinkles and crow’s feet around the eyes
- Elimination of bags and dark circles under the eyes
- Removal of fat hernias
- Treatment of cellulite and localized excess fat (a less invasive alternative to liposuction)
- Reduction of a double chin
- Excessive hair loss and treatment of baldness – hair follicles regenerate, hair becomes stronger, and hair loss decreases (carboxytherapy as an adjunctive therapy for hair loss treatment)
- Loose skin
- Hand skin regeneration
- Uneven skin tone
- Improvement of scar appearance
- Psoriasis
Carboxytherapy also finds its use in the postpartum period – carbon dioxide therapy accelerates wound healing, eliminates stretch marks, and reduces postpartum skin laxity.

Treatment Process
Carbon dioxide therapy involves subcutaneous or intradermal injections of precisely measured doses of CO2 using a micro-needle-tipped head. By introducing the gas under the skin, we increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the tissues; the body responds rapidly to this higher concentration of a metabolic byproduct: blood flow at the injection site increases, accelerating the rate of metabolic processes. Improved microcirculation stimulates the optimal flow of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells.
Carbon dioxide remains in the tissue for about 30 minutes before being expelled from the body through the lungs. Cellular activity at the injection site continues after CO2 is eliminated, resulting in active oxygen transport, collagen synthesis, and the reduction of fat tissue and cellulite.
The carboxytherapy session lasts about 15 minutes. It is recommended to undergo 5-8 sessions at weekly intervals (typically one treatment per week). Cellular renewal occurs over several months.
Is Carboxytherapy Painful?
Introducing gas under the skin can cause a sensation of “stretching” at the injection sites, but this feeling subsides within a few minutes. The treated skin may appear slightly raised after the procedure.
