Under-eye carboxytherapy involves administering medical carbon dioxide into the treatment area. In aesthetics it is used, among other things, when working with microcirculation, skin quality and selected problems of the eye area.
Dark circles do not have a single cause
Under-eye shadows can result from anatomy, thin skin, blood vessels, pigmentation, swelling, fatigue, allergies or lifestyle. That is why the same treatment will not be the answer for everyone. First we need to assess what dominates: colour, anatomical shadow, swelling or skin quality.
When can carboxytherapy be considered?
- when the eye area looks shadowed and tired
- when the problem may be weaker microcirculation
- with thin, delicate skin requiring careful work
- as part of a series, not a single promise of “removing the shadows”
When can the effect be limited?
If the shadows result mainly from a deep tear trough, the structure of the eye socket, genetic pigmentation or chronic health problems, carboxytherapy alone may not be enough. Then we honestly discuss the real cosmetology options and the possible need for a medical consultation.
Safety of the eye area
The eye area is delicate, which is why qualification, ruling out contraindications and discussing possible reactions such as temporary swelling, tenderness or bruising are important. With eye diseases, active infections, allergies or recent procedures in this area, caution is necessary.
If you want to improve the appearance of the eye area, start by assessing the cause of the shadows. This lets us match the treatment, the series and home care without making promises beyond the skin’s possibilities.
Frequently asked questions
Will carboxytherapy remove dark circles?
Not always. It mainly helps with circles related to microcirculation and skin quality. With a tear trough or genetic pigmentation the result can be limited.
Does the treatment around the eyes hurt?
A temporary feeling of pressure, tenderness or bruising may appear. The eye area is delicate, so the work here is particularly careful.
How many treatments are needed?
Carboxytherapy is usually planned as a course rather than a single treatment. The number and intervals are agreed individually after assessing the eye area.
