Carboxytherapy offers a modern, medically advanced way to reawaken this vital process. By stimulating circulation and gently activating lymph flow through controlled CO₂ therapy, it restores clarity, radiance, and balance from within. At Skin Renewal, this approach is elevated by doctor-led expertise and a holistic understanding of the body’s interconnected systems, ensuring not just aesthetic improvement but true cellular rejuvenation.
The lymphatic system is a vital part of the body’s immune and drainage network. It consists of lymph nodes, vessels, and organs that work together to:
When the lymphatic system becomes sluggish due to stress, inactivity, certain medical conditions, or circulatory issues, waste products accumulate, leading to puffiness, swelling, dull skin, fluid retention, and slower healing.
Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic process that helps stimulate and enhance the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. It reduces stagnation, supports detoxification, and lowers inflammation by encouraging improved flow through the lymph vessels.
In aesthetics, lymphatic drainage contributes to:
A well-functioning lymphatic system is essential for healthy, balanced skin and optimal treatment outcomes.
Manual Lymphatic Massage (MLM) is a specialised, therapeutic technique designed to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid through the body’s lymphatic system. Using light, rhythmic, sweeping motions, this method helps redirect stagnant lymph toward functioning lymph nodes, supporting the body’s ability to detoxify, reduce swelling, and maintain healthy fluid balance.
Unlike traditional deep-tissue massage, which targets muscles, manual lymphatic massage works just beneath the skin, where most lymphatic vessels lie. MLM is particularly effective for clients struggling with congestion, sluggish circulation, post-surgical swelling, water retention, or those who feel “puffy” or heavy in their skin.
Carboxytherapy is an advanced aesthetic treatment that uses controlled injections of medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO₂) beneath the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural responses, including:
By boosting circulation and stimulating detoxification, Carboxytherapy improves both aesthetic and functional concerns, making it a highly versatile treatment used worldwide.
When CO₂ is introduced into the tissues, the body responds by increasing oxygen-rich blood flow to the area and triggering vasodilation. This creates a powerful chain reaction:
This makes Carboxytherapy not only rejuvenating but also highly supportive of overall tissue health.
Lymphatic drainage is essential for maintaining a balanced, healthy internal environment. Benefits include:
When lymphatic flow is supported, the skin heals better, treatments work more effectively, and overall well-being improves.
Skin Renewal integrates Carboxytherapy into its treatment offering because it aligns perfectly with the clinic’s holistic, doctor-led approach to skin and body health.
1. A Holistic View of Skin Health:
Skin Renewal recognises that glowing skin results from healthy internal systems. Lymphatic drainage supports detoxification, reduces inflammation, and enhances treatment results, core elements of Skin Renewal’s 5-pillar health philosophy.
2. Expert, Doctor-Led Protocols
Carboxytherapy is performed under the guidance of medical doctors trained in advanced aesthetic and integrative medicine. Treatment depth, dosage, and frequency are carefully customised to each patient’s needs.
3. Enhanced Aesthetic Outcomes
Improving lymph flow boosts the effectiveness of numerous treatments, including:
This makes Carboxytherapy an excellent companion treatment that amplifies results.
4. Comprehensive Health Integration
Because lymphatic stagnation often has internal contributors, stress, poor circulation, inflammation, poor sleep, and metabolic challenges, Carboxytherapy fits seamlessly into Skin Renewal’s integrative approach, addressing both cause and symptom.
5. Safe, Effective, Minimally Invasive
At Skin Renewal, Carboxytherapy is delivered with medical precision, ensuring safety, comfort, and consistent results.
Lymphatic drainage with Carboxytherapy is suitable for individuals who:
Carboxytherapy is a powerful, scientifically backed treatment that enhances lymphatic drainage, boosts circulation, and improves skin health. At Skin Renewal, this therapy is offered as part of a holistic, medically guided approach to beauty and wellness, ensuring each patient receives tailored, effective, and integrative care.
Lymph drainage treatments are available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Waterfall, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics, and Kwa-Zulu Natal at the Ballito, Durban and Umhlanga clinics.
Carboxytherapy introduces controlled amounts of CO₂ into the skin, prompting the body to increase blood flow and oxygen delivery to the area. This boost in circulation naturally accelerates lymph movement, helping the body flush out excess fluid, toxins, and inflammation more efficiently.
Yes. When performed in a medical setting like Skin Renewal, Carboxytherapy is a safe, minimally invasive treatment. Our doctor-led team uses precise protocols and medical-grade CO₂ to ensure effective lymphatic stimulation with minimal discomfort and downtime.
This treatment is ideal for puffiness, fluid retention, swelling, dull skin, sluggish circulation, early cellulite, toxin build-up, and post-procedure recovery. It also enhances the results of body contouring and skin rejuvenation treatments.
Most patients begin to notice improvements in circulation, reduced puffiness, and enhanced skin clarity within a few sessions. However, the number of treatments varies depending on individual concerns and goals. Your Skin Renewal therapist or doctor will create a personalised plan tailored to your needs.
You may feel a slight pressure, tingling, or warmth as the CO₂ disperses under the skin. These sensations are temporary and settle quickly. Most patients describe the treatment as tolerable, and the benefits, improved drainage, reduced swelling, and brighter skin, outweigh the brief discomfort.
Yes. Carboxytherapy is considered a safe, minimally invasive treatment when performed by trained medical professionals. It uses medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO₂), a naturally occurring gas produced by the body and exhaled daily. Because the body is already familiar with CO₂, the treatment is well tolerated, and the gas is quickly absorbed and excreted through normal physiological processes.
