CO2 facial stimulates the facial muscles with low-voltage electricity, similar to a “workout” for the face. The goal is to stimulate muscle definition, ATP growth, and collagen development.
CO2 is known as a non-invasive facelift, and a great alternative to injectables like Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and more. CO2 facials introduce a low-grade electrical current delivered through a small machine onto the face muscles. The muscles contract and are meant to be trained—just like a gym workout—to lift and sculpt the face.
CO2 is used to lift the eyebrows, define cheekbones, tighten and firm skin, and stimulate collagen growth.
The CO2 facial uses two handheld prongs that deliver precise dosages of energy to the skin and work simultaneously to repair and produce collagen in the dermis while gently erasing signs of aging in the epidermis, which is the top layer of skin.
The idea behind this is that the electrical current will build up muscles in the face, lifting and tightening the skin.
CO2 generally should only feel like the pulsating contraction of your muscles—with a potential of a little buzzy, zing (nothing painful) here and there. However, if your skin happens to be sensitive to the type of machine, “the experience can be an unpleasant one.”
CO2 is also not recommended for people who are pregnant or who have a pacemaker. [1]
There is limited research on the potential side effects of CO2 facials. Some of the effects are:
A person should consult a doctor about any side effects, particularly if they are severe or do not improve.
CO2 are not strong enough to cause injury, so when a person uses these devices correctly, they should not hurt or cause skin damage. However, some people should not have CO2 facials. This includes people with:
Another potential risk comes from unregulated or untested CO2 devices. When trying a CO2 facial at home, a person should always use a device approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Alternatively, people should seek treatment from a licensed professional.
Pricing for a CO2 facial treatment can vary, depending upon the areas being treated. Of course, the cost of CO2 facial can also vary based on geographic location and by physician practice. Treatment will be customized to meet each patient’s needs, and exact pricing can be discussed during consultation meetings.
