Get all the benefits of highly effective Carboxytherapy from the comfort of your own home. Created by the renowned dermatologist and anti-aging skincare expert Dr. Masato Hiki, Dr. MEDION uses Carboxytherapy skincare technology to deeply penetrate and rejuvenate the skin via a CO2 soothing gel mask for immediate, long lasting results.

About Dr. MEDION

The CO2 gel mask was born when Dr. Hiki unexpectedly discovered the cosmetic effects of carbon dioxide while developing a treatment for bedsores in his clinic. Carbonic acid has long been hailed as a highly effective treatment for wounds, so Dr. Hiki applied carbonic acid to a gel-like substance, helping the carbon dioxide efficiently penetrate into the affected area.

Widely used in major Japanese esthetic salons and spas, Carboxytherapy is often performed using injections under the skin to deliver the powerful healing benefits of CO2 to treat wrinkles, stretch marks, or cellulite. Dr. Medion’s unique CO2 effervescent skin rejuvenation technology has been improved to use as a spa-at-home treatment experience using the brand’s signature CO2 gel mask, Spaoxy Gel.

More about Dr. MEDION

The Spaoxy Gel uses carbonic acid that draws out oxygen to stimulate the natural metabolism of your skin. By supporting cell metabolism and the removal of dead skin, the Spaoxy Gel mask helps skin energize and rejuvenate itself with healthy rhythms to achieve firm and plump skin.

How Does Carboxy Gel Therapy Work?

Skin cell turnover is one of the primary keys to skin health and beauty. As we age, the cycle of skin cell turnover slows, leading to clogged pores, dull skin, and loss of firmness.

Skin cell turnover is spurred by metabolism, and metabolism is fueled by oxygen. Carbonic acid draws oxygen into the skin, helping to fuel metabolism and spark greater rates of skin cell turnover. Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel Masks are designed with three characteristics for skin rejuvenation in mind:

• Vascular dilation: CO2 helps to dilate blood vessels
• A system for trans-dermal delivery: Known as “DDS”, this system quickly and efficiently delivers CO2 through the skin barrier.
• Improved oxygen transport: Known as the “bohr effect”, when more oxygen is delivered to skin cells, more metabolism begins to take place, causing the carbon dioxide pressure to increase, which in turn allows for more oxygen to be delivered.

In the Spaoxy Gel mask, the DDS delivers CO2 past the skin barrier to the capillary beds where it dilates blood vessels to increase circulation. The CO2 gas then promotes oxygen uptake by the skin cells, boosting cell metabolism and skin cell turnover.

How to Use the Spaoxy Gel Mask

Before applying the Dr. Medion Spaoxy Gel, or Gel Bright Plus Mask, blend the powder and gel base to activate the mask, creating an effervescent gel that has a gentle tingling sensation on the face. Apply the gel mask, using more gel on areas of concern on the skin, and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Remove the gel with a wet cloth.

During the application of the mask, you may feel a gentle prickling sensation, due to the micro foam of the carbon, as well as increase in circulation. Once washed off, skin will be energized, and suffused with a healthy glow similar to a post workout glow. Experience this innovative ritual, and sooth the stresses of everyday life with the Dr.Medion spa at home collection.
