What should you know about carboxytherapy for dark circles?

Carboxytherapy involves placing a controlled amount of carbon dioxide into or beneath the skin. The local change in blood flow and tissue response is intended to improve the look of selected concerns. Under-eye darkness can reflect visible blood vessels, thin skin, shadowing from hollows, pigmentation, allergies, tiredness, or a combination. A procedure aimed at circulation may not correct pigment or a structural shadow, so an examination matters.

Ask the clinician to identify whether colour, hollowness, puffiness, or texture is the main contributor. Share your history of eye disease, allergies, bleeding problems, medicines, pregnancy, and previous procedures. Discuss the injection depth, expected swelling or bruising, number and spacing of visits, aftercare, and alternatives. Do not rub the area after treatment, and follow the clinic's specific instructions about makeup, exercise, and skincare.

Contact the treating clinic promptly for worsening pain, spreading redness, marked swelling, discharge, fever, or skin colour changes. Seek urgent medical care for sudden vision change, severe eye pain, difficulty moving the eye, or swelling that affects breathing. These symptoms need assessment rather than another cosmetic session.
