The short answer

What is carboxytherapy, and is it right for you?

Carboxytherapy injects small amounts of medical-grade CO2 under the skin. The body responds by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the area, which may help dark circles, skin quality and stretch marks; it is also used for small fat pockets.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, carboxytherapy is planned as a series and quoted at consultation.
