What should you know about carboxytherapy under eyes?

Short answer
Carboxytherapy under the eyes is a delicate injectable procedure that may improve selected cosmetic concerns but needs careful assessment and follow-up.
This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

Why the under-eye area needs care
The skin around the eyes is thin and close to the eyelid, orbit, and important blood vessels. Carboxytherapy introduces carbon dioxide through a fine needle, with a local tissue and circulation response intended to change appearance. It may be considered for some darkness or texture concerns, yet it is not a universal answer for pigment, hollows, bags, allergy-related rubbing, or eye disease.
Plan the procedure carefully
Use a clinician experienced with periocular procedures and ask how the area will be assessed and protected. Mention contact lenses, dry eyes, glaucoma, previous eye surgery, skin infections, allergies, bleeding conditions, and all medicines. Clarify the product or gas handling, needle placement, expected bruising and swelling, recovery instructions, review appointment, and alternatives. Keep the area clean and avoid rubbing or applying unapproved products afterward.
Warning signs after treatment
Report increasing redness, warmth, discharge, worsening tenderness, or swelling that does not follow the expected pattern. Get urgent care for vision loss or blurring, severe eye pain, double vision, marked eyelid drooping, difficulty moving the eye, or breathing problems. Prompt assessment is especially important because eye symptoms can signal a complication requiring treatment.
