What is CO2 Lift or Carboxy Therapy?
CO2 Lift or Carboxytherapy is the Therapeutic Use of Carbon Dioxide for Skin Regeneration
When infused into the skin, CO2 immediately diffuses at the cutaneous and muscular microcirculatory levels, resulting in higher tissue oxygenation and neoangiogenesis. The blood vessels widen, increasing the transport of oxygen body tissues for cellular regeneration and anti-inflammatory effects.
It is a treatment that has been around since the 1930s, though the method of delivery has improved since then, with a gel delivery system, CO2Lift!
Carboxytherapy uses carbon dioxide to stimulate blood and lymph circulation to the area being treated and improve circulation, elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles.
The old way to administer carboxytherapy is by subdermal injection of CO2 with a thin high-gauge needle.
This application causes little pain and discomfort and leaves minor bruising.
Topical Carboxy Therapy: CO2Lift
Today, topical carboxy therapy brings the benefits of carbon dioxide infusion without any injection required. CO2Lift Carboxy therapy was developed to harness the human body’s natural response to carbon dioxide.
- 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.

Carboxytherapy Effects
Not only do patients experience increased healing of their primary burns, they experience significant improvements to the appearance of their skin. Those improvements included:
- Reduced fine lines
- Improved wrinkles
- Smaller pores
- Firmer texture
The results were clear—cutaneous carboxytherapy gel had potential for powerful use in anti-aging skincare.

So, How Does It Work?
What is the Mechanism of Action?
The energy necessary for cell division and cell activation is produced by the increase of oxygen.
CO2 Skin Absorption: The absorption of CO2 leads to a deficiency of oxygen beneath the skin causing the body to supply more oxygen to the area.
Expansion of Capillaries: Blood bringing the additional oxygen to the area causes the blood vessels to expand.
Supply of Oxygen and Nutrients to the Cells: This oxygen-rich blood supplies nutrients and immunoregulatory substances to the cells.
How Is the CO2 Created?: When the water in the large packet mixes with the gluconolactone in the small packet, it forms a mild acid. That mild acid mixes with the magnesium carbonate to form CO2. The resulting CO2 is absorbed into the skin in a unique, hypoallergenic, and mild treatment.

CO2 LiftV
CO2 LiftV is a take-home vaginal rejuvenation treatment.
It can improve the symptoms of genito-urinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) as well as patients report reduction in symptoms of lichen sclerosus. Many women report significant improvement in the following conditions:
- Dryness
- Burning
- Itching
- Pain during sex
- Post-coital bleeding
- Loss of sensitivity
- Vaginal Laxity
- Urinary Incontinence
- Cosmetic appearance
The majority of women face pain or discomfort during sex as a normal part of the decreasing estrogen levels. The onset of GSM signals a sharp drop in estrogen in perimenopause that continues into menopause and postmenopause.
This decrease in estrogen causes changes in skin elasticity and collagen production, affecting the labia minora and majora, clitoris, and vagina; as well as decreasing skin hydration.
Other women affected by similar changes include women breast feeding, post-hysterectomy, women who take medication with sexual side effects, or women with endocrine disorders.
CO2LiftV is a gel applied topically to the vulva and as a vaginal suppository using the included syringe. Each treatment is noninvasive, private, and takes only 45 minutes or it can be left on overnight.
This carboxytherapy vaginal gel is effective at reducing recovery time and improving healing in post-procedure patients, including post-episiotomy, post-childbirth trauma, and post-labiaplasty patients. Vaginal Laxity
