What is the Cliniccare Carboxytherapy Facial?
The Cliniccare Carboxytherapy Facial is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses carbon dioxide (CO₂) gel and activator mask technology to improve skin oxygenation, circulation, and radiance. It is designed to refresh and revitalise the skin without needles or downtime.
This treatment mimics the effects of medical carboxytherapy but in a topical, cosmetic format.
What is it used for?
The Cliniccare Carboxytherapy Facial may help to:
- Improve dull or tired-looking skin
- Increase skin radiance and glow
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Support circulation and oxygen delivery to the skin
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration
- Calm and refresh stressed skin
It is suitable for most skin types.
How does the treatment work?
When the CO₂ gel and activator mask are applied together, they create a reaction on the skin surface. This triggers the Bohr Effect, encouraging the skin to increase oxygen delivery to the treated area. Increased oxygenation helps support cell renewal, circulation, and skin vitality.
What happens during the treatment?
- A consultation and skin assessment are performed
- The skin is cleansed
- The CO₂ gel is applied to the skin
- An activator mask is placed over the gel
- The treatment is left on the skin for approximately 15–20 minutes
- The mask is removed and finishing products are applied
Total treatment time is usually 45–60 minutes.
What will it feel like?
You may experience:
- Mild tingling or fizzing sensation
- Gentle warmth
- Tightening of the skin
These sensations are normal and settle quickly once the mask is removed.
What results can I expect?
- Immediate skin glow and brightness

Results are often visible straight away and may last several days. Best results are achieved with regular treatments.
