At Clínica Áureo, we offer Carboxytherapy, an advanced, non-invasive medical-aesthetic treatment that has become one of the best solutions to improve skin texture and appearance. Its effectiveness lies in the application of carbon dioxide (CO₂) at a subcutaneous level — a procedure that stimulates circulation, oxygenates the tissues and promotes the elimination of toxins and accumulated fat.
In addition, it is also an innovative technique for rejuvenating the skin of the hands, restoring firmness and radiance.
Carboxytherapy involves injecting CO₂ through small infiltrations into the skin. This gas has a powerful vasodilating effect, which improves cellular oxygenation and activates the body's natural regeneration processes. Its action provides:
• Breakdown of localised fat: CO₂ breaks down fat cells, promoting their elimination via the lymphatic system and improving skin firmness.
• Reduction of cellulite: It acts on the fibrous tissues responsible for the “orange peel” appearance, smoothing the skin texture and enhancing blood flow.
• Reduction of stretch marks: Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, reducing the appearance of stretch marks and improving skin elasticity.
• Improvement in skin laxity: Encourages cell regeneration and firms the skin, giving it a firmer and smoother appearance.
• Reduction of fluid retention: Activates lymphatic drainage, eliminating excess fluids and toxins accumulated in the body.
• Hand rejuvenation: Boosts collagen and elastin production, improving the skin quality in this area. Carboxytherapy helps reduce the appearance of prominent veins and thinning skin — common signs of ageing in the hands — giving them a more youthful and healthy look.
Carboxytherapy is ideal for those who want to improve their skin quality and reduce imperfections without resorting to invasive procedures. It is suitable for both men and women seeking an effective solution for:
✔ Cellulite of varying degrees (soft, hard or oedematous).
✔ Localised fat on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms or flanks.
✔ Skin laxity on the legs, buttocks, abdomen or arms.
✔ Recent or older stretch marks.
✔ Fluid retention and poor circulation.
✔ Ageing skin on the hands with thinning and loss of firmness.
The procedure is simple, safe and virtually painless. Sessions last around 20–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. During the application, the patient may feel slight pressure or tingling from the CO₂ injection, but the discomfort is minimal and fades within minutes.
Results become visible from the first few sessions, with smoother, firmer and rejuvenated skin. For best results, a course of 6 to 12 sessions is recommended, depending on each patient’s individual needs.
✔ Non-invasive and safe treatment
✔ Gradual, natural results
✔ Stimulates collagen and elastin production
✔ Enhances circulation and tissue oxygenation
✔ Can be combined with other body and facial treatments
✔ Improves the appearance of the hands, restoring youth and radiance
Skin texture and firmness improve progressively from the third session. Results duration depends on the patient’s lifestyle, so it is advisable to accompany the treatment with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and proper hydration.
If you want to reduce cellulite, eliminate localised fat, minimise stretch marks, improve skin firmness or rejuvenate your hands, Carboxytherapy may be the solution you’re looking for.
