Carboxytherapy is an aesthetic medicine technique that involves injecting a sterile medical gas, CO₂, under the skin. This gas has been used in medicine for a century, which guarantees its safety and the absence of side effects. The local increase in CO₂ concentration boosts blood flow, oxygenation, and tissue nourishment at the injection site.
This procedure improves skin hydration and stimulates collagen and elastic fiber synthesis by skin cells. It has the advantage of being quick, suitable in any season, and compatible with all skin types. Indications include :
This technique is contraindicated in pregnant or breastfeeding women and in patients on anticoagulants.
The injection is performed on disinfected skin after taking photos.
For body treatments, Dr. Romano recommends applying a numbing cream one hour before the session.
A very fine needle is used. The injection depth, number of injections, and angle of the needle depend on the indication.
The protocol includes around ten sessions, spaced one week apart. The result is maintained with two to three sessions every two months.
This technique improves skin suppleness, elasticity, and texture.
The results are mild and vary from one patient to another.
The only exception is cellulite, which is significantly improved by carboxytherapy. However, multiple sessions are necessary : fifteen sessions one week apart as initial treatment, then one maintenance session every two weeks — for life !
Dr. Romano recommends this technique more as a preventive treatment, particularly on areas of the body where signs of aging appear fastest : eyelids, knees, elbows, facial contour, buttocks.
One session every month and a half is then performed.

Oui, la carboxythérapie est efficace pour améliorer la microcirculation, stimuler la production de collagène et réduire les signes de vieillissement, les vergetures, la cellulite et les cernes. Elle offre des résultats progressifs et naturels.
La carboxythérapie du visage consiste à injecter du dioxyde de carbone (CO₂) sous la peau pour stimuler la circulation sanguine, améliorer l’oxygénation des tissus et favoriser la production de collagène, ce qui raffermit la peau et réduit les rides.
La carboxythérapie est bien appréciée pour réduire les poches et les cernes sous les yeux. Elle améliore la circulation sanguine et favorise le drainage, réduisant ainsi le gonflement et la coloration sombre. Les résultats sont progressifs après plusieurs séances.
Le traitement est généralement bien toléré, mais une légère sensation de picotement ou de pression peut être ressentie pendant l’injection. Cette gêne disparaît rapidement après la séance.
Oui, il est possible de reprendre ses activités normales immédiatement après la séance. De légères rougeurs ou gonflements peuvent apparaître, mais ils disparaissent en quelques heures.
