How are O2 and CO2 different?

In skincare, O2 (oxygen) and CO2 (carbon dioxide) are two methods often mentioned but with different mechanisms. Understanding the difference helps you choose a treatment suited to your skin.

O2 — delivering oxygen to skin

O2 therapy delivers pure oxygen to the skin surface, often used to soothe and help skin look brighter. This method is mild and usually suits tired, dull skin.

CO2 — stimulating microcirculation

CO2 therapy uses carbon dioxide to stimulate small blood circulation under the skin, supporting hydration and helping skin look healthier. This method is often used for skin lacking vitality or needing mild recovery.

Which method to choose

  • Dull, tired skin: may suit O2
  • Skin lacking vitality, needing recovery: may suit CO2
  • Sensitive skin: needs careful assessment before choosing

Tiani always assesses skin before advising the right method. Book a session to choose a treatment that matches your skin condition.
