Oxygen Lifting: Non-Invasive Carboxytherapy for Improved Microcirculation
Modern cosmetology is becoming a true science of youth. In today’s fast-paced life, patients are increasingly looking for effective yet gentle methods of rejuvenation. This is where oxygen lifting and non-invasive carboxytherapy take center stage. These procedures not only enhance microcirculation but also activate cellular metabolism, making them highly effective when combined with other hardware and injection techniques. In this article, we will explore how this unique duo works and why it is gaining recognition from both professionals and patients alike.
The Essence of Oxygen Lifting
Oxygen lifting is a non-injection technique aimed at rejuvenating the skin by saturating the tissues with pure oxygen under pressure. During this procedure, active substances such as hyaluronic acid and vitamins are simultaneously introduced. In this case, oxygen acts not just as an essential element but also as a powerful "carrier" that delivers active ingredients to the deeper layers of the skin, ensuring their maximum effectiveness.
The first step of the procedure is cleansing the skin, which prepares it for better penetration of the active substances. A special device then delivers a stream of pure oxygen under pressure onto the skin. Simultaneously, a specially chosen serum is applied, allowing the oxygen to enhance the permeability of the components and significantly improve blood circulation. The result is an instant lifting effect, as well as pronounced hydration and restoration of the skin right after the first procedure.
Non-Invasive Carboxytherapy and Its Benefits
Non-invasive carboxytherapy is a technique based on the application of carbon dioxide (CO₂). This procedure involves no needles, making it attractive to patients who fear pain. When a special mask is applied, a chemical reaction occurs, causing carbon dioxide to penetrate the skin, dilating the blood vessels and enhancing blood flow. In response, the tissues actively release oxygen, accelerating metabolic processes in the cells and stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
The advantages of non-invasive carboxytherapy include the absence of pain and the low risk of infection, as there is no damage to the skin. This technique also has a comprehensive effect, improving microcirculation and enhancing cellular respiration, which increases the effectiveness of any subsequent procedures. Moreover, carboxytherapy provides a pronounced lifting effect without a rehabilitation period, which adds to its popularity.
Physiology: How Oxygen and CO₂ Change the Skin
Oxygen is an essential element for the skin's cellular metabolism. A lack of oxygen is one of the main reasons for premature aging and a dull complexion. When the skin is saturated with oxygen, various processes are activated, such as enhanced microcirculation, improved nutrient delivery to the cells, and stimulation of the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. Lymphatic drainage is enhanced, helping to reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. Toxins are expelled, leaving the skin looking fresh and healthy.
The carbon dioxide used in carboxytherapy induces a mild, controlled "stress" in the skin. This leads to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and an increase in oxygen flow to the tissues. As a result, fibroblasts, which are responsible for youthful skin, are activated, increasing the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibers, improving skin tone, and smoothing the texture.
Oxygen Lifting Procedures
Oxygen lifting protocols vary but always include several key steps. The process begins with makeup removal and skin cleansing—allowing for the elimination of impurities and dead skin cells. A peeling may follow to facilitate oxygen transport. In the main phase, oxygen is delivered under pressure using a device, while a specially tailored serum is simultaneously applied.
At this stage, an oxygen-pulse massage improves blood and lymph circulation, accelerating metabolism at the cellular level. The procedure is completed with an intensive mask that consolidates the effect, and the final touch is the application of sunscreen. The results after the first treatment are impressive: the skin becomes hydrated, smooth, and firm.
Effects and Advantages of Oxygen Lifting
Why do patients and doctors choose oxygen lifting? One major advantage is its instant result: the very next day, the skin appears noticeably lifted and brighter, with signs of fatigue disappearing. The safety of this procedure is another important factor, as it is completely atraumatic and poses no risk of allergy, especially when using individually adapted serums. The versatility of the method allows it to be used on all skin types, including sensitive and rosacea-prone skin.
Oxygen lifting is also compatible with other hardware techniques, such as laser procedures and injection techniques. It serves as an excellent preventive measure against aging, particularly for patients over 30 years old. Additionally, the method has minimal contraindications and does not require extended rehabilitation.
Who is Oxygen Lifting Suitable For?
Oxygen lifting is recommended for young patients with tired skin, students, and residents of megacities, as well as for both women and men aged 30 to 40 who want to prevent photoaging and age-related changes in advance. It is also beneficial for those preparing for hardware or injection interventions and needing recovery afterwards.
Non-Invasive Carboxytherapy and Its Features
Carboxytherapy is performed using masks, gels, or special applicators that saturate the skin with CO₂. After the gas is applied, active vasodilation of the vessels occurs, followed by a brief period of oxygen deprivation, and then—an enhanced release of oxygen from the tissues. This triggers powerful cellular renewal, making the procedure particularly effective against dull complexion and loss of skin elasticity.
Non-invasive carboxytherapy is excellent for correcting fine lines and wrinkles and is an essential step in preparing for invasive and hardware procedures.
Mutual Enhancement of Oxygen Lifting and Hardware Techniques
Current trends in cosmetology emphasize the importance of intelligently combining methods. Oxygen lifting and non-invasive carboxytherapy work well as "conductors" for hardware and injection procedures. Skin prepared with oxygen absorbs the active components of cocktails and serums significantly better. Moreover, oxygen and carbon dioxide promote rapid tissue recovery after laser and RF (radiofrequency) procedures, reducing the risk of swelling and hyperpigmentation.
Results and Indications for Procedures
Oxygen lifting and carboxytherapy can address a variety of skin issues, including dull and uneven tone, dryness and dehydration, fine lines, and swelling. The use of these methods is recommended for clients suffering from acne, enlarged pores, and hyperpigmentation.
Benefits for Plastic Surgery
Oxygen lifting and carboxytherapy are indispensable during the stages of preparation and rehabilitation after plastic surgeries. These techniques can significantly reduce recovery times, accelerate the resorption of bruises and swelling, and minimize the risk of inflammation. Moreover, they restore the skin's barrier functions and promote rapid healing of incisions.
Comparison with Other Methods
When comparing oxygen lifting with other methods, such as injection mesotherapy, it's evident that oxygen lifting is a non-invasive technique that does not require a recovery period. It is significantly safer and more comfortable for patients, and its results last for a longer period.
Contraindications and Limitations
Despite the low risk of complications, it’s important to remember the contraindications. The procedures are not recommended for active skin infections, herpes, during the acute phases of chronic diseases, or when malignant tumors are present. Individual allergies to serum components may also lead to the exclusion from these procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions from Patients
Many patients wonder how many procedures are needed for lasting effects. Typically, results are noticeable after the first procedure; however, a course of 4 to 6 treatments is recommended to consolidate the effect. Maintenance sessions can be done once a month.
Another common question is about compatibility with other procedures. Oxygen lifting can—and should—be combined with laser rejuvenation and biorevitalization. This will only enhance the results and help maintain the skin's water balance.
Innovations and the Future of Oxygen Techniques
Modern technologies in the field of oxygen lifting and carboxytherapy are developing rapidly. More advanced devices are entering the market, allowing for the regulation of oxygen pressure and cocktail saturation based on skin type, along with new formulas for meso-cocktails that include antioxidants and peptides. This opens new horizons for individualized treatment and skincare protocols.
Conclusion
Oxygen lifting and non-invasive carboxytherapy are modern and effective methods that can help you regain youthful and fresh skin. Both techniques significantly enhance the effects of hardware and injection procedures while actively supporting the health and beauty of the skin. They are suitable for a wide range of patients, have minimal contraindications, and deliver noticeable results after just one session. For those preparing for or recovering from plastic surgeries, oxygen procedures become an essential part of quality care.
Beauty is not just a result but also a process. Modern oxygen techniques like oxygen lifting and carboxytherapy confirm this by combining science, professionalism, and self-love.
