About carboxy
Every girl at any age wants to be beautiful and have healthy, well-groomed skin. This became possible with the advent of cosmetic anti-aging procedures. At the same time, not every girl is ready to decide on painful injection procedures in salons. Specialists with many years of experience in the beauty industry can confidently say that constant care procedures for the face and décolleté area have a lasting restorative and rejuvenating effect. One of these procedures includes carboxytherapy. Main properties of carbon dioxide therapy:
- rejuvenation of face and décolleté area
- skin restoration and healing
- elimination of fine wrinkles after the first few procedures and good anti-aging effect with continuous therapy
- restoration of skin elasticity regardless of age
- elimination of dark circles under the eyes, spots and inflammation on the skin
Product formula
It is not surprising that Elizavecca Milky Piggy has such a diverse effect. The benefits come from the main components that make up the mask. There are also additional substances that play a supporting role. Let's look at the list of the most important ingredients for the skin.
Coal powder and clay are responsible for high-quality cleaning. Charcoal produces an absorbent effect. It literally absorbs fat secreted by the subcutaneous glands, dirt that has settled deep in the pores, as well as impurities, toxins and other harmful substances. Clay tightens pores, softens the skin, and restores natural elasticity.
Pomegranate extract also helps cleanse. In addition, this component is a source of vitamins. It nourishes the skin with beneficial substances. It also has a rejuvenating effect.
Thermal water maintains the water balance of epidermal cells. Plus saturates the skin with minerals and salts necessary to maintain health.
Green tea extract is a good tonic. This ingredient also gives a feeling of freshness and makes the skin tone even. Under its influence, the face acquires a healthy color. Green tea has antiseptic properties. Using a mask with this component is an excellent prevention of skin rashes.
Collagen is an additional source of a substance that is naturally produced by the body. It is responsible for the elasticity of the skin. Only thanks to it can deformed cells regain their previous shape. With a lack of this substance, the aging process accelerates. Wrinkles appear, the skin along the contour of the face sags.
The older a woman is, the less collagen is produced in her body. Therefore, the use of the Elizavecca Milky Piggy mask becomes especially relevant after 25 years. The collagen in its composition restores the elasticity of the dermis, smoothes out fine wrinkles, prevents the appearance of folds on the skin and makes the oval of the face more toned.
In addition to the substances described above, the formula includes extracts of the following plants:
- camellias;
- lavender;
- peppermint;
- rosemary;
- daisies.
The combination of ingredients in the mask is so successful that you can feel visible results after the first applications. Regular use of the product will significantly improve the appearance of your skin.
The mechanism of action of carboxy masks:
The release of carbon dioxide occurs directly on the surface of the skin as a result of a chemical reaction that occurs when a sodium bicarbonate-based gel is combined with a non-woven mask containing citric acid. The mask serves as a screen and prevents carbon dioxide from escaping into the atmosphere.
The concentration of carbon dioxide on the surface of the skin increases, a concentration gradient arises and, as a result of passive diffusion, CO2 penetrates through the stratum corneum to the living structures of the epidermis and dermis. CO2 dissolves in the skin and the pH value shifts to the acidic side. Changes in pH trigger numerous physiological processes in tissues. In particular, oxygen is released from red blood cells and tissue oxygenation increases.
Processes occurring at the physiological level entail visible external changes on the skin. Moreover, the result of the procedure can be observed after the first procedure. Next, you can see the difference in improving the structure of the skin after using carboxytherapy in these photos. Photo taken before and after carboxytherapy:
Non-invasive and injection carboxytherapy: which is more effective?
Carboxytherapy involves the introduction of carbon dioxide under the skin, the procedure is carried out using injections or through special masks and gels. With the injection method, the drug is administered through a small-diameter needle; the technology is quite uncomfortable and can cause swelling. However, this allows the gas to be introduced into the deepest layers of the skin, so this technology is significantly more effective.
Non-invasive or non-injection carboxytherapy is a more gentle way of doing it. The gas penetrates the cells during application of the mask; it takes more time and several procedures to achieve a visible result. Suitable for thin and sensitive skin. This technology has less effect and is not suitable for solving serious cosmetic and dermatological problems.
Injection carboxytherapy is carried out only in a beauty salon, and masks can be applied at home at any convenient time.
Instructions for using carboxy masks:
Carboxy masks are easy to use, they can be used in professional cosmetology practice, as well as at home. All the necessary components are sold in a kit; you only need to allocate 30-40 minutes of your time for the procedure.
1. Wash your face with water, completely remove makeup, your face should be clean.
2. Apply the entire contents of the gel syringe to the skin (be sure to use the entire syringe for each application).
3. Apply a sheet mask to your face, keep it on your face for 10 minutes, stroking the skin with your fingertips for deep penetration.
4. Wait another 20-30 minutes, then remove the mask.
5. Remove any remaining gel from your face with a tissue and wash with warm water.
When using non-invasive carboxytherapy, you may feel a slight tingling sensation, and redness may occur after use; this is not a side effect. This is due to increased blood circulation, which increases skin temperature. Over the next few minutes, the skin will regain its natural tone.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SALON CHEMICAL PEELING
Peeling by a cosmetologist has many advantages compared to doing it at home. Even those who cannot afford a course of professional procedures should definitely visit a cosmetology office to take into account all possible risks, get a referral for tests if necessary, and plan a transformation strategy.
In addition, as we mentioned above, medium or deep exfoliation is only possible in the salon. And if you devote time to studying reviews of clinics, you can find a truly high-class institution where the likelihood of violating the protocol of the procedure will be minimal.
Among the disadvantages of visiting a cosmetologist is the need to allocate time in your work schedule and the significant cost.
Price
The price of chemical peeling may vary depending on the technology chosen by the specialist, the depth of penetration of the active substance, the main active reagent and the price level in a particular establishment.
As a result, the average cost of the 1st session is formed as follows:
| SURFACE | 50€ |
| MEDIAN | 80€ |
| DEEP | 20€ / cm² |
