CARBOXYTHERAPY MELBOURNE
Carboxytherapy is a procedure that involves the use of carbon dioxide gas to support skin appearance and function.
Carboxytherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of carbon dioxide gas at the treatment site, creating an environment that supports skin function. It may be used to address concerns such as localised fat deposits, the appearance of cellulite, dark under-eye areas, and stretch marks.
Dr Jaclyn Wong offers carboxytherapy as part of her treatment options in Melbourne.
What is Carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy involves the use of carbon dioxide gas administered beneath the skin’s surface. This process triggers the body to increase blood flow to the area, delivering oxygen and nutrients while supporting local circulation.
Potential effects of carboxytherapy may include:
- Stimulation of collagen production
- Increased skin hydration
- Improved circulation
- Support for skin function
Carboxytherapy may also influence the presence of immunoregulatory cells in the treated area. Over time, this process may contribute to changes in skin firmness and texture.
A thorough consultation is required to assess suitability for treatment and discuss expected outcomes, potential risks, and benefits.
Potential Applications of Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy may be used to address various skin and aesthetic concerns. These include:
- Dark circles under the eyes, by supporting blood flow in the area
- Under-eye fullness, through skin tightening and localised fat reduction
- Fine lines around the eyes, such as crow’s feet and sleep lines, by stimulating collagen production
- Appearance of acne scars, through collagen stimulation
- Active acne, depending on individual assessment
- Stretch marks and scarring
- Inflamed skin conditions, assessed on a case-by-case basis
- Atopic dermatitis, based on practitioner recommendation
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Dry or dehydrated skin, by supporting hydration and skin cell renewal
- Localised fat deposits, such as under the chin, in the jowls, nasolabial folds, cheeks, and under-eye areas; it may also be used for body contouring in some cases
- Hair regrowth, depending on individual suitability
A consultation with Dr Wong will help determine if carboxytherapy is appropriate for your concerns, and to discuss expected outcomes, risks, and alternative options.

Treatment Frequency and Maintenance
Carboxytherapy is generally performed as a series of treatments, with most individuals requiring between 5 to 10 sessions. Treatments are usually scheduled once every 1 to 2 weeks, with each session building on the effects of the previous treatment.
To maintain results over time, periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended every three to six months, based on individual needs and practitioner advice.
