Hi-I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and would like to get carboxytherapy for darkcirkes under my eyes. However-can’t find any providers over here that provide that treatment. I did however find Carboxytherapy gel available online and was wondering if that would help with dark undereye circles & if not-any recommendations for a provider in the SF Bay Area who specialize in Carboxytherapy? Thank u!
