Consultation
It begins with a one-on-one consultation with your licensed Younique provider. During this relaxing and thorough appointment, they discuss your concerns, your treatment goals, and your complete medical history. They will also inspect your cellulite appearance. If your provider determines that carboxytherapy cellulite reduction in Oxnard is the best treatment for your concerns and goals, they will get your session scheduled.
Treatment
First, your Younique provider will cleanse the injection site with a sterile wipe, then sterilize it with an antiseptic solution. Following that, they will use a 30G mesotherapy needle to inject CO2 gas beneath the skin with precision, choosing between subcutaneous or intradermal placement. During the process, you might experience a little pressure, but, the majority of patients report little to no pain.
Recovery
After treatment, your body experiences an improvement in circulation and blood flow! This may cause a warm and tingling sensation for up to 24 hours post-treatment, but should not interrupt your normal routine. There may be some bruising present at the injection site, but it will clear up within 7 to 10 days. Avoid immersing your body in water for 24 hours after the procedure. But don’t worry, a lukewarm shower is fine!

Why would my circulation benefit from carboxytherapy?
As we age, subcutaneous capillaries can become inactive, leading to poor circulation. Carboxytherapy helps reactivate these vessels. The stresses of living in a large city—the constant noise, traffic, and air pollution—combine with other factors to limit cellular regrowth and function. Consequently, the skin gradually loses its elasticity and collagen, resulting in noticeable sagging and loss of firmness.
When we breathe in oxygen, our body first uses it for major organ health and function before sending the rest to the skin. When the skin lacks oxygen, it’s more susceptible to aging and other problems.
With carboxytherapy, increased blood flow delivers more oxygen to the treatment area, leading to better hydration and a noticeable improvement in skin texture and tone. As blood flow increases, so does collagen production. This results in softer, smoother skin.
The Food and Drug Administration in the US has approved this safe and effective minimally invasive procedure.
If carboxytherapy helps with cellulite, is it reducing fat?
No, our focus is not to reduce fat, but to reduce the appearance of cellulite. That being said, clinical studies have shown that carboxytherapy can create a modest, targeted fat reduction in the area of treatment. Although more research is required to understand long-term outcomes, carboxytherapy has shown to temporarily reduce fat in treated areas, which is a potential added benefit of treatment!
