CO2 Lift Facial — Rain Aesthetics

WHAT IS CO2LIFT?

CO2Lift is a skin rejuvenation mask that uses the power of carbon dioxide to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, textural imbalances, dark circles, and enlarged pores. Carbon dioxide is an effective skincare ingredient because, unlike many ingredients that are commonly used in anti-aging products, it is very effective at penetrating the skin. Its remarkable absorbability, combined with its ability to deliver oxygen molecules to targeted areas in your body, results in a youthful, glowing complexion.

CO2Lift is often used as a standalone treatment, but it may also be recommended as a follow-up treatment for individuals who have recently undergone a chemical peel, micro needling, etc…

WHAT DOES CARBOXYTHERAPY TREAT?

In addition to post-care efforts, carboxytherapy can address a variety of other concerns all over the body.

Face & Neck

We apply a CO2LiftPro mask to the face and/or neck, often after a patient receives laser treatments or microneedling. This can help treat:

Wound healing
Lack of circulation
Elasticity
Fine lines & wrinkles
Pore size
Skin texture
Dry skin / eczema
Inflamed skin
Rosacea

WHY CO2? HOW CARBOXYTHERAPY WORKS

When applied to the skin, CO2 essentially deprives a covered area of oxygen. Seems counterintuitive, right?

Actually, in response to this deprivation, the skin naturally sends more oxygen to the area. This increases blood circulation; flushes the lymphatic system; and stimulates cellular metabolism.

The best part about carboxytherapy? It is a skin rejuvenating mask containing CO2 gel with a topical discovery method (i.e., completely non-invasive and injection free!). We typically leave this on the skin for 35 to 60 minutes. During the process, carboxytherapy gel creates a coverage of CO2 bubbles that release a specially designed formula to restore the skin’s vitality.

Overall, this can promote your skin’s natural ability to absorb nutrients and eliminate toxins, making it an ideal post-procedure treatment! It essentially doubles the skin’s hydration in one treatment with no side effects.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CARBOXYTHERAPY

What are the main benefits of carboxytherapy?
According to Lumisque, a manufacturer of carboxytherapy:

Carboxytherapy was developed to harness the human body’s natural response to carbon dioxide. Applying carbon dioxide to epithelial tissue results in a central nervous system response that causes vasodilation.

The dilated blood vessels allow an influx of blood to reach the hypoxic area, increasing circulation. This additional blood flow targets damage and aging-related changes to the epithelial tissues by:

Increasing the presence of wound repair factors and growth factors, which help cells “turn over” faster, reducing the appearance of aging, scars, stretch marks and more

Stimulating collagen and elastin production, which promotes elasticity and helps retain hydration

Improving local metabolism and elimination of waste products, which helps the body heal localized damage such as scars or acne hyperpigmentation

Regenerating and repairing damaged tissue to help clients achieve better looking and feeling skin

Should I use carboxytherapy? How will I know if I need it?

Because carboxytherapy is non-invasive, there aren’t a lot of contraindications (signs you may not be a good fit) for treatment.

If you are in good general health with no history of skin disease or inflammation, you should have no problem receiving carboxytherapy!

Does it work better if I get carboxytherapy in the office?

Because the CO2 Lift ingredients are completely safe for all skin types, we can either administer the treatment in-office OR allow you to take it home and use it yourself with a very simple set of instructions!

Can I use carboxytherapy for dark circles under my eyes?

Absolutely, especially if that area has recently been treated with a laser, photofacial, or microneedling!
