Do you suffer from dark circles, bags or wrinkles under the eyes? It can happen to the best, especially when we haven't had a good night's sleep. However, sometimes puffiness or dark circles don't go away after a good night's sleep. It can provide a tired and less fresh look. Although dark circles and/or bags under the eyes do not harm your health, they can be experienced as annoying.

How do dark circles / puffiness arise

Dark circles or puffiness can not only arise in people due to illness, lack of sleep or poor lifestyle. Dark circles can also be due to genetic predisposition, thinning of the skin or hyperpigmentation. It is therefore important to ask the skin therapist for advice about the cause.

The hereditary form is most common. In addition, sagging can also be hereditary as a result of aging. This can create a wall. In addition, friction in people with hay fever or contact allergy is also a recurring cause. Friction in the eyes should be avoided

During the treatment

With carboxytherapy we literally breathe new life into your skin, without the need for surgery. No fillers or other unnatural substances are used. Carboxytherapy is a natural, fast and effective way to get rid of
dark circles, fine lines and puffiness.

During this carboxytherapy, carbon dioxide is injected into your skin. Carbon dioxide is a body's own substance and therefore naturally already present in your body, which ensures that it is immediately accepted by your skin tissue and cannot cause any damage. The oxygen ensures active cell metabolism and thus improves blood flow, collagen production and improvement of skin volume.

Number of treatments

About 3 treatments are needed for the desired result. The treatment takes place every two weeks. To maintain the desired result, a maintenance session is recommended once a month.

When can you undergo a carboxy treatment? Indications for a carboxy treatment are:
