Carbon Face Mask

Carbon dioxide can be a great help in skincare. It was originally used in medicine to treat dermatological diseases, burns, and rehabilitation after operations. Then a technique called carboxytherapy was adopted by specialists in aesthetic medicine. Cosmetologists use two technologies, injection and non-injection, or non-invasive, in the form of a face mask.

How does it work

Injection-free carboxytherapy is based on the use of carbon dioxide. Since its molecules are very small, they can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, causing stress to the body. It perceives this as hypoxia in the tissues and urgently increases the concentration of oxygen in the zone of oxygen starvation. As a result, blood supply and lymph flow increase. This lets you deal with congestion in the tissues: puffiness, increased pigmentation, post-acne, dark circles under the eyes.

Besides, such a face mask leads to:

• reduction of wrinkles;
• increasing skin tone and elasticity;
• smoothing scars and smoothing the relief;
• improving complexion;
• lifting;
• deep cleansing;
• accelerate regeneration.

The obvious advantages of this procedure are that it has almost no contraindications and restrictions related to age and type of epidermis, is painless, does not cause discomfort, does not require rehabilitation and is well tolerated.

How to use a carbon face mask

Start with a thorough epidermis cleansing. Then apply the gel on dry skin, avoiding the eyes area and lips. The product's layer should be dense enough. At this stage, you will not feel any discomfort.

After spreading the carbon gel, apply the face mask on top and press it well to make it work. At this time, a slight hiss is heard. It means the active substance starts to release. You may feel a slight tingling or burning sensation. This is normal and is due to the nature of the chemical reaction. 

Within ten minutes, make some pressing movements in the cheeks, on the forehead, chin and under the lower jaw with the palms of both hands. This is to activate the carbon face mask so that this substance penetrates as deep as possible into the tissues. Keep it for another 20 minutes. At this time, collagen synthesis is triggered, which will help you smooth out fine wrinkles. Then, remove it from bottom to top. Rinse off the remaining gel with water. Immediately after the procedure, you will notice that the epidermis is smooth and silky, and the complexion is more even.

Apply an intense skincare formula that addresses a specific problem, such as a lifting serum or anti-pigmentation serum. Immediately after the procedure and for three days, the permeability of the epidermis is increased, which means that the active ingredients will be better absorbed, penetrating deeper layers.

To achieve the maximum effect, it is necessary to carry out a course from 4 to 8 procedures, with an interval of one week. Then supportive care is recommended that requires 1-2 procedures per month.
