A luxury facial treatment designed to leave you feeling fresh and glowing!
As we age, our skin cell’s oxygen levels naturally drop. Pollution and other environmental stressors also hinder the ability of cells to regenerate, while the skin gradually loses collagen and elastin. This then makes the skin more prone to aging, irritation, redness, and pigmentation.
What is Crystal Carboxy Therapy?
- Innovative skin care treatment that utilises the BOHR effect (explained below);
- Combining the GEL and MASK creates a bubbling effect and produces CO2 that gets delivered to skin through the gel layer;
- The increase of CO2 molecules stimulates red blood cells to increase oxygen supply to the patient’s skin and increases cell metabolism (turnover rate);
- This promotes waste removal and increased nutrients supply to the skin thus revealing a brighter and more even complexion;
Crystal Carboxy uses a non-invasive, anti-aging skin correcting technology that rejuvenates the skin and improves various issues. It involves the use of a specially formulated CO2 gel and a dry cotton sheet mask. This produces CO2, which is then absorbed by the skin, triggering the red blood cells to release more oxygen.
Benefits of Crystal Carboxy Therapy Mask
The CO2 mask fools the skin into thinking that it needs more oxygen. It infuses the skin cells with CO2, offering an increase of oxygen and other nutrients in the area. This then leads to cell restoration with whitening, anti-aging, and rejuvenating effects.
Here are the benefits of Carboxy CO2 therapy:
- Brightening – stimulates blood circulation, encourages effective waste discharge and makes skin more translucent. Get immediate results. Your skin is left glowing and lifted after one treatment. It feels every bit as luxurious as it looks, and the results are impeccable.
- Improves skin elasticity – stimulates collagen and elastin and also creates greater skin density which improves skin elasticity. In particular, it reduces chin and necklines, Contour the face.
- Wrinkle reduction and lifting – promotes protein synthesis and the body’s metabolism in addition to enhancing the skin elasticity of all the treated areas..
- Moisturising – increases skin hydration and helps retain the balance between water and oil.
- Treatment of acne and scars – increases the discharge of acne-causing bacteria by promoting blood flow and waste removal.
- Reduction of pores – minimises the appearance of skin pores even after the first application.
How does it work?
The contact between the mask and the gel causes the release of CO2 gas. CO2 is then absorbed by the skin, which then forms O2 (oxygen) from blood cells to the skin tissue. It activates different processes that contribute to overall skin rejuvenation.
CO2 Carboxy’s Mechanism of Action:
- Vasodilatation contributes to the activation of skin cell metabolism as well as improvements to skin blood vessels, thus leading to healthier skin.
- Anti-inflammatory action – oxygen discharged from hemoglobin provides an anti-inflammation effect and waste excretion action, leading to improvement in the symptoms by inflammation relief causing skin coarsening and other skin troubles.
- Blood fluidity improving action – CO2 absorbed into the skin improves blood fluidity, which then helps with oxygen supply.
What is the BOHR Effect?
As previously mentioned, the Crystal Carboxy CO2 Mask uses the BOHR Effect. The Bohr effect is a phenomenon first described by the Danish physiologist Christian Bohr. It offers penetration of CO2. It provides oxygen and nutrients to the deeper layers of the skin by increasing blood circulation. This helps improve skin barrier, elasticity, and cell production.
When CO2 is applied to the skin, it tricks the body into thinking that the area requires more oxygen. It then triggers the red blood cells to release more oxygen (O2), which is essential for cell metabolism.
- Step 1: Creates a bubbling effect; provides CO2 bubbles to the skin
- Step 2: The exchanging process of CO2 and O2 removes dead skin cells
- Step 3: The CO2 and O2 exchange process increases blood circulation to provide nutrients and oxygen.
What does the facial include?
A relaxing double facial cleanse is followed by enzymatic and/or Ultrasound exfoliation, 10 min. red LED, then even application of Carboxy Crystal CO2 Gel followed by the cotton mask sheet – placed on top of the gel.
A lymphatic drainage massage performed while the mask on.
The mask is removed after 20 minutes. Finally – application of targeted serum, a suitable moisturiser and SPF.
How many treatments are needed to see results?
You can see improvements after just a single session, but it is recommended to get a series of treatments for enhanced results.
Is it painful?
It is common to feel a warming /burning sensation or their face getting hot. There is also a sizzling-like sound, which means that the CO2 is released, resulting in the formation of more oxygen.
Skin reddening is a normal reaction after using the Crystal Carboxy mask. This is due to the enhanced blood circulation. On average, the redness subsides 30 minutes after cleaning the skin.
