Combined with a professional skincare routine and other enhancements like laser treatment or microneedling, you can get the most out of your CO2Lift facial at Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery.

Carboxytherapy & the CO2Lift
Carboxytherapy, or CO2-infused skincare, has a long history. Since the 1930s, aestheticians have been using carbon dioxide treatments to their patients’ advantage, giving them the benefits of increased blood flow, dark circle improvement, collagen stimulation and the like.
This non-surgical skincare approach typically involves injections with needles – but the CO2Lift facial is revolutionary in the way it works: no needles, no pain, no downtime. Instead, the patented gel gently pushes the CO2 into the deeper layers of the skin and muscles during 45-minute intervals.
Although you can expect to see results after the first application, Dr. Chernoff may recommend a series of treatments depending on your unique needs and concerns.
CO2 Mask Benefits
Carbon dioxide treatments like the CO2Lift can be highly beneficial for the skin in several key ways.
Increased Blood Flow
When carbon dioxide is infused into the skin while you’re wearing your CO2Lift mask, it diffuses into the surrounding tissues. This makes your body believe that there is an imbalance of oxygen in the area, and it responds by sending more oxygenated blood to the surface to maintain homeostasis, which has a trickle-down effect for other improvements.
Stimulated Collagen Production
The increased blood flow also triggers a series of biochemical responses at the cellular level, one of which is collagen production. Because collagen is such a key component of tissue volume and skin elasticity, your carboxy mask contributes a huge boost to your skin’s overall health.
Improved Healing
The increase in blood flow improves another aspect of your skin’s health: its ability to heal. This oxygen-rich blood flow improves your cellular function and boosts cell regeneration, helping your skin to heal more quickly and effectively. Overall, this means your carboxy gel mask can support new tissue growth, reverse skin damage, and reduce scar tissue.
Reduced Appearance of Dark Circles
The skin under the eyes is thinner than on other areas of your face, which makes it more likely to reveal the signs of aging, genetics, and poor circulation. However, carboxytherapy can significantly enhance the microcirculation in the delicate under-eye area, reducing the look of dark circles and improving your confidence.
Painless Treatment & Zero Downtime
Unlike other carboxytherapy treatments, the CO2Lift doesn’t require the use of needles or invasive methods of delivery. Instead, this product comes in the form of a carboxy gel mask that can be applied to the face for 45-minute treatment periods. That means there is no pain associated with this treatment, making it an ideal new therapy for getting fantastic results.
Get the Most Out of Your CO2Lift Facial
Reaping the benefits of your CO2Lift carboxy mask is easy, but to get the most out of your treatment, we recommend the following.
Start with a Professional Skincare Assessment
While it is still possible to get results from an at-home CO2Lift facial, you’ll enjoy more benefits with optimized delivery when you work with an experienced professional like Dr. Chernoff.
By assessing your unique needs and listening to your concerns, Dr. Chernoff can help you implement a strategic plan for improving your skin’s health. This plan might include personalized tips for using your carboxy gel mask or additional treatments that could work in combination to give you better results overall.
In any case, it’s always important to work with a provider who knows how carboxytherapy works and how to implement it in your skincare routine.
Try Combination Treatments
CO2Lift facials often work better when paired with other cosmetic procedures. Combining the right treatments can reinforce the benefits of each, giving you more improvements all around.
Laser Treatment + CO2Lift
Adding a CO2Lift to your laser treatment offers synergistic effects that maximize collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, increase the penetration of laser light, and encourage faster recovery.
After Dr. Chernoff has approved this course of treatment, we’ll move forward in separate phases. Beginning with laser treatment, that will stimulate your body’s natural healing response to produce new collagen.
Side effects can include moderate swelling or redness, so you’ll need a few days to heal before applying the carboxy mask. Once it is safe to apply it, however, this treatment will enhance your collagen production and fast-track your healing process, reducing inflammation and evening the skin tone.
Microneedling + CO2Lift
Microneedling and carboxytherapy work hand in hand. Both treatments independently stimulate collagen production, but when combined, the effects become magnified. This combination can also enhance the absorption of topical treatments post-microneedling, and the blood flow stimulated by carboxytherapy can further boost the healing process initiated by the microneedling procedure.
Like with laser treatment, these procedures will be performed separately. We’ll start with microneedling to create tiny punctures in the top layer of your skin and stimulate your skin’s natural healing process. Soon after, you can apply the CO2Lift mask to further promote healing and enhance your results.
Get More Out of Your Treatments
Everyday face masks aren’t enough; traditional carboxytherapy can sometimes feel like a hassle. The CO2Lift facial provides the effectiveness of carbon dioxide treatment without the need for injections – and when used in conjunction with other procedures, it can take your results to a new level.
