Carboxytherapy in Brooklyn
What is carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy is a non-invasive skincare treatment designed to support anti-aging, improve skin quality, reduce puffiness, and restore a healthy glow and freshness.
This treatment is especially popular before birthdays, weddings, important events such as conferences, work presentations, or other special occasions.
In aesthetic treatments, carbon dioxide therapy (CO2 therapy) is used to encourage the skin to increase blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the treated area. Improved circulation helps activate metabolic processes and supports healthier skin function.
By stimulating blood flow, carboxytherapy treatment can improve skin tone, skin elasticity, and overall skin quality.
Carboxytherapy is often called a carboxy facial because it is suitable for all skin types. The treatment is gentle, does not involve injections, and does not disrupt the skin barrier.
Who is carboxytherapy for? Indications.
Carboxytherapy may be recommended for clients who notice that their skin looks tired or dull and has lost its natural tone.
This treatment may be helpful for:
- dull or uneven skin tone
- reduced skin elasticity
- tired-looking skin
- puffiness
- early signs of skin aging
How was the carboxytherapy treatment performed?
A carboxytherapy session at Metodica Med Spa takes approximately 90 minutes.
The procedure includes several steps:
Step 1. Skin cleansing.
The skin is gently cleansed to remove impurities and prepare the treated area.
Step 2. Facial massage.
A facial massage helps improve circulation, reduce puffiness, and prepare the skin for the treatment.
Step 3. Application of CO2 gel.
A special carboxytherapy CO2 gel is applied to the face and neck.
Step 4. Activating mask.
An activating mask is applied over the gel to trigger the carboxytherapy reaction.
At this stage, the treatment stimulates blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the skin. You may feel mild tingling or a slight prickling sensation. The procedure is generally comfortable and well tolerated.
How does carboxytherapy work?
Carboxytherapy works by stimulating blood circulation and increasing oxygen supply to the skin. The reaction between the gel and activating mask encourages the body to increase blood flow to the treated area.
Improved circulation helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to skin cells while supporting metabolic processes and detoxification.
This process helps reduce puffiness, improves skin tone and firmness, and supports the skin’s natural renewal.
What results can you expect?
- improved microcirculation and lymphatic flow
- increased oxygenation of skin tissues
- reduced oiliness of the skin
- smoother and more refined pores
- brighter skin tone
- smoothing of fine lines
As circulation improves, the skin looks healthier, smoother, and more radiant.
Is preparation needed before carboxytherapy?
In most cases, no special preparation is required before a carboxytherapy treatment.
However, your esthetician may recommend temporarily avoiding harsh exfoliating products (scrubs) and active ingredients such as acids, retinol, or vitamin C before the treatment.
Is special aftercare needed?
Carboxytherapy is a gentle skincare treatment that typically requires minimal recovery time.
After the procedure, clients are usually advised to:
- keep the skin hydrated
- apply sunscreen daily
- avoid aggressive skincare products for a few days
- avoid using products with retinol for 2 days
How many sessions are needed?
This treatment can be done as a single session to refresh the skin and improve its appearance before an important event.
For more visible and long-lasting results, carboxytherapy is usually done as a series.
Typically, 5-6 treatments are recommended, spaced 7-14 days apart.
Regular treatments help maintain a more even skin tone and a healthy-looking complexion.

Reviews
I did carboxytherapy procedure for the face and I enjoyed it and saw the positive result on my skin. This procedure was done with specialist Maria, I recommend her. I also did botox in Metodica and i fully satisfied with the result. I recommend this place.
I recently visited this salon for the first time, and I must express my utmost satisfaction with the experience. The procedure had a remarkable effect on my skin, and I even received several compliments from gentlemen remarking on my refreshed appearance. As a result of this positive encounter, I have already scheduled a follow-up session.
Maintaining the health and vitality of one's skin is of paramount importance, and I believe that consistent skincare treatments can yield remarkable results. Should I have any inquiries or specific preferences regarding skincare enhancements, I will not hesitate to engage in discussions with the salon's specialists. Their expertise can guide me in selecting the most suitable procedures and products tailored to my skin type.
Moreover, I am mindful of the significance of proper at-home skincare routines in the intervals between professional treatments. Adhering to cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection routines constitutes the foundation of effective skincare.
I am delighted by the positive experience I encountered and anticipate continuing to revel in the benefits of my enhanced skincare regimen.
