How Carboxy Therapy Helps with Acne: The Science Behind Clearer SkinBLOG BODY:

If you’re dealing with acne, breakouts, or post-inflammatory scarring, you’ve likely tried countless products or treatments hoping for a solution that actually works. At The Beauty Plug, we’ve seen powerful results with Carboxy Therapy facials—especially when paired with Korean skincare focused on barrier repair and calming inflammation.

Here’s a breakdown of how it works and why it’s becoming one of our top acne treatments in Valley Village and Studio City.

💨 What Is Carboxy Therapy?

Carboxy Therapy is a non-invasive facial treatment that uses a carbon dioxide gel mask to trick the skin into thinking it needs more oxygen. This triggers an immediate response in your body—bringing fresh, oxygen-rich blood to the area.

That increased oxygenation improves circulation, promotes healing, and stimulates collagen—making it ideal for active acne, congestion, and post-acne marks.

🔬 The Science Behind It: Why It Works for Acne

Here’s how Carboxy Therapy treats acne at a cellular level:

• Improves circulation: Oxygen-rich blood helps flush toxins, reduce redness, and boost the skin’s natural healing response.

• Reduces inflammation: The treatment calms irritated, inflamed skin—especially helpful for cystic or hormonal breakouts.

• Stimulates collagen: This helps with post-acne scarring and skin texture by supporting regeneration.

• Balances oil production: Over time, skin becomes less reactive and more stable, especially when supported with K-beauty hydration layers.

Think of it as an acne treatment that supports your skin—not strips it.

✨ Why We Pair It with Korean Skincare

At The Beauty Plug, we enhance every Carboxy treatment with curated Korean skincare products—designed to calm, hydrate, and rebuild the skin’s barrier.

Korean skincare focuses on gentle, nourishing ingredients like:

• Centella Asiatica (Cica) for calming

• Niacinamide for brightening and reducing redness

• Peptides to support healing

• Ceramides to rebuild the skin barrier

When your skin is properly oxygenated and paired with the right products, it absorbs everything better—leading to faster and more visible results.

👩‍🔬 Who This Acne Facial Is Best For:

• Clients struggling with hormonal or cystic acne

• Anyone with inflamed breakouts or acne-prone skin

• Those looking to fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

• Sensitive skin types needing a non-stripping acne treatment
