Thank u!

Hello,

Carboxytherapy is a treatment that involves the injection of carbon dioxide gas into the skin to improve circulation and promote collagen production. It has been used to treat dark under-eye circles, among other skin concerns. However, the efficacy of Carboxytherapy gel, which is a topical application, is not well-supported by scientific evidence. The results from using such gels are often less pronounced than those achieved through professional injectable treatments.

If you are seeking effective treatment for dark under-eye circles, it is recommended to consult with a dermatologist or a licensed medical professional who can provide tailored advice and treatment options. Treatments such as laser therapy, chemical peels, or fillers may also be considered, depending on the underlying cause of your dark circles.

For finding a provider specializing in Carboxytherapy in the San Francisco Bay Area, I recommend checking with local dermatology clinics or cosmetic surgery practices. You can also search for board-certified dermatologists through the American Academy of Dermatology's website or other professional medical directories.
