When patients ask about topical skincare treatments that actually work, we’re always excited to recommend the CO2Lift, a carboxy gel healing mask that acts like a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for your skin, rejuvenating and refreshing on a cellular level to restore a healthy glow. 

At Hakimi Plastic Surgery, this treatment embodies what we value most in skincare: science-backed results, convenience, and versatility. Instead of making extravagant claims, CO2Lift delivers measurable improvements by working with your body’s natural processes.

For patients who want medical-grade results without constant visits to the office, CO2Lift provides an effective solution that fits into real life. Apply it while catching up on emails or unwinding after a long day — your skin will be working hard even while you’re relaxing.

What Is the CO2Lift?

CO2Lift is a carbon dioxide-based gel treatment that rejuvenates and oxygenates the skin. When applied, this medical-grade facial mask releases CO2, penetrating the skin and temporarily depriving it of oxygen to trigger a therapeutic biological response: the blood vessels widen, cellular activity increases, and oxygen-rich blood is sent to the area. This brings with it everything your skin needs to repair and rejuvenate, leaving you with a vibrant glow. 

We’ve long known that oxygen plays an important role in healing. Athletes use hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to recover from injuries, and many surgeons recommend this same treatment to post-op patients. CO2Lift works on a similar principle but with a convenient, at-home mask that can be applied to the face, neck or décolletage. It’s even gentle enough to be used on the lips, eyelids and beneath the eyes.

What Makes CO2Lift Different?

CO2Lift isn’t just another face mask. Its unique formulation combines medical-grade carboxytherapy with powerful skin-nourishing ingredients — such as hydrolyzed collagen, ceramides, and plant extracts like passion fruit oil and aloe vera — that work together with the hyperoxygenation process. While other masks might temporarily hydrate the surface, CO2Lift’s dual-action approach addresses your skin at a cellular level, delivering immediate surface benefits while simultaneously triggering long-term structural improvements.

Unlike other masks, your skin responds to this treatment by:

  • Increasing circulation to deliver vital nutrients
  • Boosting collagen and elastin production
  • Enhancing cellular metabolism
  • Accelerating the natural healing processes

The science is impressive, but what really matters is what you’ll see in the mirror: firmer, more radiant skin. You’ll notice a difference immediately after your first application, with results that continue to improve over time. For the best outcome, we recommend starting with a series of six treatments — three treatments the first week, two the following week, and one the third week. You can also use CO2Lift to give your skin a healthy glow before any big event or occasion!

Beyond Basic Skincare: CO2Lift’s Impressive Benefits

CO2Lift does more than make your skin look good for a day or two. It delivers lasting improvements with regular use. Patients who incorporate the CO2Lift in their skincare routine report the following benefits:

  • Fewer fine lines and wrinkles
  • Smoother, firmer skin
  • Reduced puffiness and dark circles around the eyes
  • Nourished, hydrated skin that glows
  • Smaller pores
  • Brighter, more even skin tone with less redness
  • Up to a 26% increase in skin elasticity
  • Improved healing after surgery or other skin treatments 

CO2Lift addresses multiple concerns simultaneously. Whether you’re dealing with dull, dehydrated skin, facial redness or the early signs of aging, it works on a fundamental level to nourish, rejuvenate and detoxify your skin, improving its overall health and appearance. 


The CO2Lift Experience: Simple Yet Effective

Using CO2Lift couldn’t be simpler. Unlike many professional-grade treatments that require special training or equipment, it can be applied in-office or at home, whichever works best for you. It doesn’t involve complicated steps or multiple products, instead offering a straightforward treatment process that delivers medspa-quality results with minimal effort:

  1. First, you’ll mix together the small and large packets together for one minute in a small bowl to activate the CO2
  2. Next, you’ll apply the mask in a thick layer to the face and neck; if you have any leftover, it can also be applied to the hands, chest and body
  3. Let it work its magic for 45 minutes to an hour
  4. Peel away the mask, rinse and enjoy your refreshed glow

There’s something deeply satisfying about the process. As the mask reacts with your skin, it hardens into a gel, staying cool throughout for a refreshing experience. Once it’s removed, there’s no redness, irritation or downtime — just noticeably firmer, more beautiful, radiant skin!

Your Secret Weapon for Post-Surgery Recovery

While CO2Lift shines as a standalone treatment, it also excels as part of a post-op recovery plan. After any procedure, your skin needs some TLC and a little extra support. During this time, it’s especially receptive to treatments that stimulate the healing process and new collagen production. CO2Lift provides exactly what your recovering skin craves:

  • Reduced inflammation to minimize swelling and discomfort
  • Accelerated healing through increased oxygenation
  • Enhanced hydration to support tissue repair
  • Scar prevention by promoting proper collagen organization
  • Better overall results from your surgical procedure

Dr. Hakimi often recommends CO2Lift to patients following facial procedures, including facelifts, neck lifts and eye or brow lifts. It can also be used to boost the results of nonsurgical procedures like Botox, dermal fillers and lasers. By incorporating this treatment into your post-surgery care routine, you’re giving your skin the tools it needs to recover beautifully.
