What is CO₂ Lift®?

CO₂ Lift® is a professional grade, noninvasive, topical form of carboxytherapy which was traditionally an injection technique used to deliver CO2 underneath the skin to improve blood flow, oxygenation, and skin nourishment. The delivery of carbon dioxide triggers a physiologic cascade of enhanced oxygenation, improvement in the microcirculation, and up regulation of tissue regeneration. This treatment requires no needles, ablation, or thermal disruption, and offers minimal to no downtime—making it ideal for both standalone skin rejuvenation protocols and adjunctive use in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic interventions.

CO₂ Lift® PRO and CO₂ Lift® V are both topical carboxytherapy. The former is used primarily on the face and various parts of the body, while the latter is specifically geared towards the vagina and even the rectum.

How does CO₂ Lift® Work?

Carboxytherapy introduces CO₂ underneath the skin. The body perceives the treatment area to be hypoxic and as a response, vasodilates arteries and capillary beds to improve circulation which increases oxygen content, hydration, and nutrient delivery. A high CO₂ content makes the unloading of oxygen from hemoglobin more favourable. This is known as the Bohr Effect. Conversely, a high oxygen content makes the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin more favourable as seen in the lungs.

Biostimulators are all the rage nowadays. Biostimulators are treatments that trigger the body's natural regenerative processes i.e. stimulating collagen, elastin, and cellular repair for long-term improvements in skin health and structure. CO₂ Lift® PRO fits this description well since it stimulates fibroblast activity, tissue regeneration, and collagen production, but without needles or downtime.

What are the benefits of CO₂ Lift®?

In addition to being professional grade, portable, topical, with no downtime, there are various studies that substantiate the following claimed benefits:

• Increase hydration +117% compared to baseline post treatment for up to 3 weeks. (Biometrix study, 2017.)
• ↑ 39% luminosity, ↑ 42% radiance, ↓ 30% sagging, ↓ 27% pigmentation, ↓ 24% lines, ↓ 20% wrinkles, ↑ 26% Elasticity at W4, 28% at W10 (J Cosmet Dermatol. 2023;00:1-7. doi:10.1111/ jocd.15860)
• 100% re-epithelialization or complete healing within 1 month for 10 diabetic ulcer patients (Study to be published)

What Are The Various Conditions CO₂ Lift® PRO Can Treat?

CO₂ Lift® is a cosmeceutical which can be used for various medical conditions. It is anti-inflammatory but does not contain corticosteroids which makes it ideal for treating inflammatory skin conditions without the risk of skin atrophy from corticosteroids. CO₂ Lift® PRO has been used to treat the following: Facial aging, Fine Lines/wrinkles, Eczema, Acne, Rosacea, Erectile Dysfunction, Lichen Sclerosis, Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans (BXO), Anal Fissures, Nonhealing Diabetic Ulcers, necrosis recovery from Vascular Occlusion, and more.

How do I apply CO₂ Lift® PRO?

Remove any makeup. Thoroughly wash and dry your face. Empty the contents of the large packet (pink gel) into a small bowl. Add the contents of the small packet (white substance). Mix for 1 minute making sure no solid white chunks remain before applying to the face. 1 treatment should be limited to the face or neck. If treating both areas, two treatments are required.

Use applicator stick to cover all areas of the face with the product. CO₂ Lift® PRO may be used to cover the eyelids, but assistance is needed as the eye will be covered. Make sure the product thickness is uniform on all areas. A thin layer will not be therapeutic. Keep CO₂ Lift® PRO on for at least 45min. Try not to talk or use your facial muscles because doing so may result in separation of the product contact from the skin.

After 45min, CO₂ Lift® PRO's texture changes from a gel to something similar to a membrane. Remove the product. You may use the applicator stick to scrape the product off the skin. If the product flakes off, the application of the product on that area was too thin and not therapeutic. Wash the remaining bits off of the face. Discard the product in the waste basket as it may clog the drain. Enjoy your glow!

How Frequently Do I Need CO₂ Lift® PRO Treatment?

For general improvement in skin quality, glow, and hydration, a loading dose of 3 treatments (1 treatment daily for 3 consecutive days) is required. Thereafter, once monthly treatment is sufficient. There is no harm in repeating treatments sooner.

If a specific condition is being addressed e.g. active acne, rosacea, eczema, more treatments are required for the loading dose. It could be anywhere from 6-10 or even more depending on the severity of the condition. Once desired results have been obtained, once monthly dosing is sufficient.
