Carboxytherapy: oxygen for your skin, delivered by carbon dioxide.
Carboxytherapy is a series of tiny injections of medical-grade carbon dioxide just under the skin. Your body answers the CO2 with a rush of oxygen-rich blood, and collagen production climbs. At Neoderma in Anaheim it is used for dark under-eye circles, stretch marks, cellulite and loose, crepey skin, from $195 a session.
- $195 a session for small areas; $200–$400 for larger body areas.
- Numbing cream first, then a brief pressure or tingling. No downtime.
- Performed by Neoderma's medical providers, on the menu for over a decade.

What does carboxytherapy treat?
The same circulation-and-collagen response happens wherever the gas is placed, so one treatment covers everything from the thin skin under the eyes to the thighs.
Dark circles under the eyes
Aimed at the poor circulation behind bluish under-eye shadows. Usually 4–6 sessions.
Stretch marks
Fades stretch marks by boosting circulation and collagen in the marked skin. Usually 4–6 sessions.
Cellulite
Improves cellulite over the longest series it is used for, usually 6–10 sessions.
Loose & crepey skin
Skin laxity on the face, neck and double chin; crepey skin on the arms, stomach and legs; acne scars and fine lines.
How does carboxytherapy work?
It sounds backwards, and it is ordinary physiology. Carbon dioxide is how working tissue asks for oxygen. When a little medical-grade CO2 is placed under the skin, the body reads it as that request and sends a rush of oxygen-rich blood to restore the balance.
That surge sets the skin's repair work going. Collagen production climbs, texture smooths, and over a series the treated area looks firmer and healthier. The gas itself is gone within minutes, breathed out like the CO2 your cells make all day.
The principle was first described in 1904 by the Danish physiologist Christian Bohr, and still carries his name: the Bohr effect.
Read what carboxytherapy isWhat is a carboxytherapy session like?
Numb
A numbing cream goes on the area first, because a session is a series of small injections rather than one.
Inject
A medical provider places the CO2 just under the skin with a very fine needle, setting the depth and gas volume for that area.
Go
A short pressure or tingling fades within minutes. No downtime; at most a little redness or pinpoint marks for a few hours.
Carboxytherapy before and after
Some change is often visible right after a session, and the full result builds across the series as circulation and collagen keep improving. Every photo on this site is a real Neoderma patient; individual results vary, and your plan is set in person.

Carboxytherapy questions
What is carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy is a treatment in which small amounts of medical-grade carbon dioxide are injected just under the skin through a very fine needle. The body reads the extra CO2 as a call for oxygen and sends a rush of oxygen-rich blood to the area, and collagen production climbs, so the treated skin improves over a series of sessions.
Is carboxy therapy safe?
Carbon dioxide is a gas your body makes and clears every minute of the day, and the injected gas disperses and is breathed out within minutes. At Neoderma, carboxytherapy is performed by medical providers and is used on all skin types, including sensitive skin. A provider confirms it is appropriate for your concern at the consultation before anything is done.
Is carboxytherapy painful?
Not very. A numbing cream goes on before the small injections, and what most people notice is a short pressure or tingling while the gas spreads under the skin. It is gone within minutes.
Will I need downtime after carboxytherapy?
No. You can go back to your day straight away. At most you may see a little redness, or pinpoint marks where the needle went in, for a few hours.
How many carboxytherapy sessions will I need?
It is a series rather than a single visit. At Neoderma, dark circles under the eyes and most facial concerns are planned as 4–6 sessions and cellulite as 6–10, about a month apart, and the number for your case is set at the consultation. How results build explains why.
What does carboxytherapy cost?
At Neoderma in Anaheim it is $195 per session for a small area such as the under-eyes and $200–$400 per session for a larger body area, with package pricing for a series. A consultation is $50, credited toward treatment if you go ahead within two weeks. The cost page covers packages and Cherry and CareCredit financing.
