What should you know about carboxytherapy before and after eyes?

The skin around the eyes is thin and close to the eyelids, orbit, and structures involved in vision. Carboxytherapy uses carbon dioxide delivered through clinical equipment, so placement and pressure matter. Mild puffiness, tenderness, or small bruises may affect the appearance temporarily, but the clinician should explain what is expected for your exact treatment. The procedure is cosmetic and does not diagnose or treat an eye disease, unexplained swelling, or a change in vision.

Tell the clinician about contact lenses, eye conditions, recent eye procedures, allergies, medicines that affect bleeding, and any current irritation or infection. Arrive with clean skin if instructed and avoid rubbing the area afterwards. Use only the products or compresses recommended by the treating team. Protect the skin from unnecessary heat and sun exposure while it is sensitive, and arrange a review if the response does not follow the expected pattern.

Seek urgent medical assessment for new blurred or double vision, loss of vision, severe eye pain, pain with eye movement, marked one-sided swelling, difficulty opening the eye, increasing redness, pus, or fever. Breathing difficulty, fainting, or rapidly worsening facial swelling is an emergency. Do not massage a painful or rapidly changing area unless a clinician specifically tells you to.

Ask who will perform the treatment, how the eye will be protected, what area and depth are planned, and which symptoms are expected. Ask when you can use makeup or contact lenses, who to call after hours, and which non-injection options might address your concern.
