What should you know about non invasive carboxytherapy?

Carboxytherapy is also called carbon dioxide therapy. The name can cover different protocols, so the delivery method matters: a non-invasive session should not pierce the skin or place gas below it. Clinics may discuss skin texture, circulation, puffiness, or the appearance of cellulite, but the expected change depends on the area, device, and skin condition. Ask for a plain explanation of the mechanism and whether the treatment is intended to improve appearance rather than diagnose or treat a medical disease. Read the dedicated [Carboxytherapy](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/carboxytherapy/) page for context.

Tell the practitioner about pregnancy, breathing problems, circulation concerns, active skin disease, allergies, and medicines that affect healing. Do not treat over broken, infected, or recently sunburned skin. Confirm the device, treatment area, number and spacing of sessions, expected redness or tingling, aftercare, and who will manage a complication. Take a photo in consistent lighting if you want to judge gradual cosmetic change, rather than relying on immediate swelling or temporary redness.

Contact the provider for worsening pain, blistering, marked swelling, spreading redness, pus, or skin colour changes. Seek urgent help for breathing difficulty, faintness, chest pain, or facial swelling. A persistent rash or wound needs medical assessment and should not be covered by another cosmetic session.

Ask whether the proposed method is truly non-invasive, what evidence the provider uses for your goal, and what alternatives fit your skin. Ask how the clinician screens for conditions that could make treatment unsuitable.
