What the market is asking for
Why this treatment is being added to menus right now
The global professional skincare market is growing from around 150 billion dollars in 2025 to roughly 207 billion by 2030. What is changing is not the number of treatments, but what clients are willing to pay for — and the criteria a clinic uses when adding a new service.
What the client wants
Prevention instead of correction
The focus has shifted from "remove the years" to "keep the skin". Clients will come back for courses year after year rather than book one aggressive treatment annually and then hide at home.
A course of 5–10 treatments once a week, all year round, with a cumulative effect and home care between visits.
What the protocol must deliver
Gentle, but demonstrable
Irritation is no longer taken as proof that something is working. The protocols that win are the ones that work physiologically and confirm the result with an instrument rather than a promise.
No needles, no downtime, suitable for sensitive skin. Instrument-based study on the line's booster.
The economics of the room
A service with no equipment to buy
The cost of entry into device-based methods has risen and payback periods have stretched. A treatment room needs a service that starts earning from the first kit and requires no licence.
Consumables instead of hardware: one kit, ten treatments, with no device, no physician and no facility licence.

Reviews
What the people already working with the protocol say
A cosmetologist does not buy a description, they buy someone else's experience. These are reviews from specialists who have been working with the protocol in their own rooms for one to two years.
I have been working with this carboxy therapy for more than two years. I choose it for every skin type and I confidently treat clients with moderately sensitive skin — in combination with other products to reduce reactivity, of course.
Straight after the treatment the skin wakes up and starts to glow, and that is good preparation for the next stages. After the full protocol clients look fresh and rested. With regular treatments the skin becomes noticeably clearer.
Amber carboxy can be done once a week on an ongoing basis, with a course of 5–6 treatments depending on the needs of the skin and the goal chosen. All my clients tolerate the treatment very comfortably and come back: they particularly like that there is no recovery period at all.
What I love about it in practice is how well it works with acids — the two complement each other. I combine Amber carboxy with the gel mask under ultrasound, and then with Hydra Fusion Mask. I am very happy with the result.
The main advantage is that it is a single step. And how comfortable it feels for the client. I recommend it to other cosmetologists: the treatment presents well, and combined with other CARELIKA products it delivers convincing results. The gentlest possible product with the maximum glow effect.
Irena · cosmetologist, Krāslava · working with the protocol for over 2 years
I have been working with CARELIKA Amber Carboxy Therapy for a year. I choose this treatment for tired skin, skin with capillaries and skin with enlarged pores.
I can see the effect: pores tighten, the skin becomes livelier. Clients themselves mention the pores and the improvement in the condition of their skin. Regular clients come for the treatment once a month and like it very much — it is comfortable. Yes, they come back.
The advantage is giving the skin a succinic acid product, treating it. After the treatment the skin's oxygen supply improves, signs of tiredness fade and pores tighten. And combining microcurrent with Amber Therapy Gel Mask improves lifting.
I recommend it to other cosmetologists: the result after the treatment is visible, and this product is a pleasure to work with.

For clinics and salons
A salon does not buy jars, it buys a treatment with a calculated payback
The niche
A category without a dominant brand
Device-based CO₂ therapy requires a licence and a physician. The needle-free method requires neither — which opens the category to an ordinary treatment room, where no strong international player has established itself yet.
The evidence
Our own instrument-based study
Corneometry, cutometry and profilometry on the line's booster. A Eurofins report, 25 volunteers, four weeks. In this price category, very few products have a document like this.
Implementation
A protocol, not a box of jars
Doses in millilitres, water temperature, exposure times, a nine-point checklist to run before the treatment, and ready-made wording for the conversation with the client.

We send the price list and the payback calculation on request. This is professional information and it is deliberately not on the open page: the price of a treatment is set by the room, and it covers the specialist's time, the rent, the training and the result — not the cost of a jar. We calculate the payback against your own price list and your number of treatment rooms, and it reaches you together with the protocol, before you buy anything.
We will calculate the payback against your own treatment price — all we need is your city and the number of rooms.

The client goes straight back to work after the treatment — no redness, no crusting, no "week at home".
Carboxy Therapy
What carboxy therapy does for the skin
Oxygen is the basic element of energy production in the skin. With age, the capillaries beneath the skin lose elasticity, oxygen delivery drops, collagen levels fall and tone and firmness go with them. Carboxy therapy works on exactly that link in the chain.
Step 1
A reaction that releases CO₂
Carbonates and sodium citrate meet water. Gas formation begins right there in the bowl, in front of the client.
Step 2
CO₂ reaches the skin
The gas stays under the mask in contact with the skin surface for the whole exposure and passes through the stratum corneum.
Step 3
Acids and sorbents
At the same time the mask's acid complex is working: succinic, malic and phytic acids together with niacinamide.
Step 4
The Bohr effect
CO₂ in the capillaries displaces oxygen from haemoglobin, and the oxygen moves into the tissue. Skin oxygenation rises.
Skin physiology
The Bohr effect
How haemoglobin releases oxygen into skin tissue
Diagram not to scale. Hb — haemoglobin inside a red blood cell.
- 01Local signalRising CO₂ and falling pH change the conditions for O₂ binding.
- 02Haemoglobin respondsHaemoglobin's affinity for oxygen decreases.
- 03Oxygen deliveryHaemoglobin releases O₂ more readily. Oxygen diffuses from the blood to the skin cells.
CO₂ ↑ / pH ↓ → Hb affinity for O₂ ↓ → O₂ release into tissue ↑
What the treatment does for the skin
- Saturates the tissue with oxygen and activates intracellular respiration
- Activates cellular metabolism — the actives in the following steps work more effectively
- Regulates sebaceous gland activity and reduces oiliness
- Evens out the texture, works on enlarged pores and post-acne marks
- Improves firmness and density, improves turgor
- Stimulates fibroblasts and the synthesis of collagen and elastin
Why treatment rooms choose it
- Completely painless: no injections, no anaesthesia needed
- The skin barrier stays intact, there is no recovery period
- Suitable for every skin type, including sensitive skin
- Independent of the season — courses can run all year round
- Compatible with device-based and aesthetic treatments
- Cumulative effect: a course of 5–10 treatments once a week, or a maintenance treatment once a month
The category
There are two kinds of carboxy therapy. The difference is not the bubbles
One route requires a physician, a licence and a device. The other is open to any treatment room — and this is exactly where the formula decides the outcome: the gas is gone in minutes, and what works is whatever it leaves behind in the skin.
The device route
Injectable and device-based CO₂
Carbon dioxide delivered subcutaneously by microinjection, or supplied by a device. A medical procedure with its own cost of entry.

Four questions to ask a supplier
The bubbles are visible straight away, and they are easy to mistake for the result. But fizzing is physics, not formulation. Before putting any carboxy treatment on your price list, it is worth asking four things.
Is there a preparation phase?
Without preparation the stratum corneum remains a barrier, and the whole action is reduced to a surface effect.
Ours has two phases: acid preparation first, then the carboxy phase.
Are the actives named?
"CO₂ effect" tells you nothing. A cosmetologist needs to see what is working and why.
Ours has 11 actives, each one named and explained — from succinic acid to the prebiotic.
Has anything been measured?
How the client feels is not evidence. Ask what was measured with an instrument and what came from a questionnaire.
There is an instrument-based study on the line's booster; questionnaire figures we report separately.
How many treatments per kit?
Without that number the cost per treatment cannot be calculated, and the price is set by guesswork.
One kit, 10 treatments — the economics are worked out before you order.
The evidence base for the method
Three things about needle-free carboxy therapy that have already been measured in peer-reviewed studies — and that a cosmetologist can refer to in conversation with a client.
Measured with an instrument
Oxygen in the skin increased
A randomised split-face study: transcutaneous oxygen tension rose significantly more than after microdermabrasion, p = 0.0252.
The effect is recorded by a sensor, not only by how the client feels.

These are studies of the method, not of CARELIKA products: the photographs show our treatment, the figures relate to the category of needle-free CO₂ therapy. Data on injectable carboxy therapy is a separate body of evidence and we do not transfer it to the mask: that would turn a cosmetic product into a medical promise.
The mechanism
Two phases, not one
Sodium citrate and sodium bicarbonate do not react with each other until water is added. The moment 15 ml at 20 °C goes in, gas formation begins, and the carbon dioxide works on the skin surface for the whole exposure of the mask.
The order cannot be changed. Mask onto sebum and part of the gas never reaches the skin, turning the protocol into an ordinary mask.

All six products are included in the professional kit. Nothing needs to be bought separately or substituted.

Carboxy therapy works on its own — and as the base for a second stage
A course of 5–10 treatments delivers a result by itself. But the first phase has already removed the sebum and prepared the surface, and the second has saturated the skin with gas — which means the skin is brought into exactly the state in which any following manipulation works better. That turns a single treatment into a programme.
Mode 1
Stand-alone
Amber Carboxy Therapy as a course in its own right. 60–70 minutes, 5–10 treatments once a week, home care from day one.
For a room entering the category for the first time that wants to calculate payback on a single service line.
One line on the price list, one kit for ten treatments, no equipment at all. Almost every partner starts with this mode.
Mode 2
Carboxy plus a second stage
Step 1 — Amber Carboxy Therapy. Step 2 — microneedling with a sterile serum chosen for the client's specific concern.
For a higher ticket and a programme you can run for months, changing the second stage as you go.
Four serums, four scenarios on one base: revitalisation, glow, even tone, renewal. What is in each one is below.
CARELIKA sterile serums for the second stage
Professional sterile format, 5 ml. Developed to deliver actives through temporary microchannels — in other words, designed for a protocol with microneedling.
NAD+ Complex
Rejuvenating cocktail
NAD+ · multinucleotide complex · multipeptide system
Purpose: revitalisation and renewal
Lumiderm Complex
Antioxidant & brightening cocktail
Glutathione · vitamin C
Purpose: glow and antioxidant support
TXG Complex
Depigmenting cocktail
Tranexamic acid · glutathione · carnosine
Purpose: a more even complexion
Exovital Complex
Rejuvenating cocktail
Plant exosomes · sodium DNA · hydrolysed DNA and RNA
Purpose: revitalisation and renewal
What this gives the treatment room
One base and four scenarios instead of a single line on the price list. The client comes for a course rather than a one-off visit, and at each stage the second step is matched to her concern — tone, glow, renewal.
What to know before you start
Microneedling is an invasive procedure, and the requirements for training and practitioner authorisation differ from country to country. The "no physician, no facility licence" argument applies to carboxy therapy in stand-alone mode. The combined protocol is agreed separately for your market.
What the room needs
A bowl, a spoon, water. Nothing else.
No device, no licence, no physician. One kit, ten treatments, starting from a single set.
The actives
What is working inside the protocol
Every active is in the formula for a specific job. Below is what each one does and the level at which it is supported: mechanism, instrumental measurement or preclinical model.
Amber Therapy Cleansing Powder — the cleanse the protocol begins with
Amber Carboxy Therapy Mask — the foam after mixing with water at 20 °C
Made in France
Manufactured in France to GMP standard. Ingredients of natural origin: 91.7 % in the carboxy mask and 97.7 % in the cleansing powder — the figure is printed on the packaging of each product.
The formulas are cruelty-free and dermatologically tested.
The line's key active
Succinic acid
A Krebs cycle metabolite — it takes part in cellular energy production. A natural fermentation product of Staphylococcus epidermidis, a commensal of our own skin.
Present at every step of the protocol, from the cleanse to the final cream. Not a trace concentration, but a working professional dose.
This is data on the ingredient, not clinical results for CARELIKA. The illustration is an educational visualisation of the mechanism.
Wang et al., 2014 · doi:10.1007/s00253-013-5394-8 · doi:10.3390/ijms17111870
Acid · phase one
Salicylic acid
Lipophilic: it goes into the pore opening and removes the oil film and keratin plugs where water-soluble acids cannot reach.
It opens the way for carbon dioxide in the second phase. Without it, the mask sits on sebum.
The gas-generating pair
Sodium citrate and sodium bicarbonate
Two dry powders that do not react until water is added. On mixing they release carbon dioxide right at the skin surface.
This is the carboxy phase itself: gas in contact with the skin for the whole exposure of the mask.
Biotech active
Oxygeskin
A biotechnological active based on Tropaeolum majus, nasturtium. It works on the skin's oxygen metabolism.
In the toner, the gel mask and the cream — it sustains the effect of the carboxy phase after the treatment.
ECM glycan
Fucogel
An extracellular matrix polysaccharide. It holds moisture and works on skin comfort after the acid phase.
In the cleansing powder and the gel mask — at the start and at the end of the protocol.
Vitamin
Vitamin C
A stable water-soluble form of vitamin C — it does not oxidise in the formula the way pure ascorbic acid does.
In the phase-one booster, alongside the acids.
Brightening complex
Brightening complex
Gatuline Spot-Light — a plant-derived brightening active, declared on the booster label alongside the acids and vitamin C.
In the phase-one booster.
Vitamin · phase two
Niacinamide
One of the most studied actives in dermocosmetics: work on the barrier, on tone and on sebum.
In the carboxy mask, together with the acid complex.
Prebiotic
Prebiotic complex
Supports the skin microbiome during cleansing — it cleanses without disrupting the hydrolipid layer.
The highest active dose is in the cleansing powder.
Soothing
Horse chestnut
A classic ingredient for working with microcirculation and skin comfort.
In the gel mask — the step after the gas.
Lipid
Squalane and triglycerides
Lipids related to the skin's own. They restore the barrier after the acid phase.
In the 15-in-1 cream — the end of the treatment and the first home-care product.
All eleven actives are in the six products of a single kit. Nothing needs to be bought separately or substituted.
The flagship of the line
BHA & Amber Renewal Booster
The only product in the line with a clinical study of its own — and the only one picked up by an international industry report. It is where both the treatment and the home-care sale begin.
One product covers two jobs for the treatment room. In the protocol it opens the treatment, preparing the skin before the carboxy phase. At home the client uses it in the evening between visits and maintains the result of the course herself.

Participant self-assessment · this is not a measurement
This is a participant questionnaire, not an instrument. We report these figures separately from the instrumental ones and always with the word "feeling" — exactly as we teach cosmetologists to phrase it in the treatment room.
What this gives the treatment room
- It opens the treatment — skin preparation before the carboxy phase in the Amber protocol.
- It prepares skin for other methods — a course of chemical peels or device-based treatments.
- It goes home with the client — evening care between visits, a repeat sale with no new appointment.
Who developed it
The formula was written by a chemist, not a marketing department
The Amber Carboxy Therapy line and the CARELIKA Professional brand were developed together with a practising cosmetologist who holds a master's degree in chemistry. That is why the protocol is built around a cosmetologist's hands rather than around attractive packaging.

Who we recommend it for
The clients this treatment works best for
Oily and combination skin
Enlarged pores, excess sebum, post-acne marks. The first phase removes the oil film, the second works on texture. This is where the effect shows up earliest.
Dull, tired skin
City living, too little sleep, smoking, a thin layer of greyness. Oxygenation and renewal of the stratum corneum give that sense of freshness after the very first treatment.
First signs of ageing
30–45 years, loss of tone, uneven texture, fine lines. The age group our instrumental study was carried out on.
Preparation for other treatments
Before a course of peels or device-based methods — as a way to prepare the skin and improve the effectiveness of the steps that follow.
Recovery after procedures
A gentle protocol with no downtime that can be built into a programme as a recovery stage. Sensitive skin is acceptable.
All-year-round demand
The treatment does not depend on the season and carries none of the sun restrictions that come with medium-depth peels. Courses can run all year.
What to say in the room
The cosmetologist who honestly said "the pigment will not go" sells the second course
The one who promised it does not even sell the first. Partners get a working script rather than a list of prohibitions: what you may say to a client, what each phrase rests on, and what to offer when she asks for something this treatment does not do.
Five sentences you are entitled to
Behind each one there is either an instrument or a mechanism. This is what a cosmetologist can say out loud and back up if asked.
"Your skin will be better hydrated and firmer"
Instrumentally: corneometry +16.63 %, elastometry +12.31 % over four weeks — the study on the line's booster carried out with Eurofins.
"We will work on oiliness and texture"
The first phase removes sebum with salicylic acid, the second works on texture. Roughness −11.11 % on Antera 3D® Pro.
"We will exfoliate gently, with no downtime"
Normalisation of desquamation has been shown for the CO₂ method in a placebo-controlled study. The protocol involves no injections and no recovery period — the client goes straight back to work.
"We will cleanse without damaging the barrier"
The cleansing powder is pH 6.05 and the booster pH 5.15 — both close to the skin's physiological level. The acids work, the barrier stays.
"Everything happens on the surface of the skin"
A needle-free method: carbon dioxide is released in a reaction on the skin. Nothing is introduced beneath the skin — not by needle, not by device.
When a client asks for something this treatment does not do
There are two ways to lose the sale here: promise too much, or simply shrug. The right answer names the limit and immediately offers a route within the line.
She asks for
Pigmentation spots removed
"Carboxy works on renewal and texture. Pigment itself is handled by a different protocol — and we have one."
Second stage: TXG Complex — tranexamic acid, glutathione, carnosine.
She asks for
Vessels and redness removed
"Vessels are not our job, that needs a specialised method. But this protocol is gentle, and sensitive skin tolerates it well."
Carboxy stays as maintenance care between specialised treatments.
She asks for
Acne cured
"We do not treat acne — that is for a dermatologist. We work on oiliness, pores and texture, and that is something you will see."
The booster in the room plus the Amber home line between visits.
She asks for
Glow and an even tone restored
"That is exactly what this is for. The course will give freshness, and if the focus is tone, we will reinforce it with a second stage."
Second stage: Lumiderm Complex — glutathione and vitamin C.
Why this sells. Every "no" here is not a lost sale but an entry into the next product in the line. The client hears a specialist who knows the limits of her method, and she comes back for a course. The cosmetologist who promised to remove pigment with a carboxy mask loses that client within a month — and the whole course with her.
Separately, what we never claim anywhere: UV protection, an effect on blood circulation, strengthening of vessels, prevention of rosacea, treatment of acne, or boosting the skin's immunity. These are medical claims; for a cosmetic product they are not substantiated — and they must not appear in a partner's advertising materials.
Indications and safety
Who we treat and when we cancel
By the client's age
- 20 — 30
- Oiliness, pores, post-acne marks. This is where the booster and the cleanse do the work.
- 30 — 45
- Dullness, texture, first lines. Our study was carried out on exactly this age group.
- 45 +
- The treatment is comfortable, but carboxy therapy alone does not solve an age-related concern — we combine it.
Suitable for oily, combination and dull skin, for post-acne marks and enlarged pores. The protocol allows sensitive skin and can be used all year round. Use caution with very dry and atopic skin.
The treatment is cancelled in case of
- Acute-stage illness
- Cardiovascular disease
- Impaired kidney function
- Hypertension
- Oncological disease
- Epilepsy
- Anaemia
- Individual intolerance
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Areas of application: face, neck, décolleté and hands. A questionnaire covering skin type, phototype and contraindications is completed before the treatment — it is the first item on the cosmetologist's checklist.

Three stages of upselling: entry on the day of the first treatment, the base after the second, the full ritual once the course is finished.
CARELIKA Academy International
A partner joins a school, not just a supply chain
A kit without training is a box on a shelf. That is why every partner goes through training: the mechanism explained, the protocol practised on models, and objection handling. In person at the academy or by video call, depending on where you are.
Format
Hands, not notes
The mechanism is covered briefly, then it is all practice. A cosmetologist leaves the training having already performed the treatment from cleanse to final cream.
Objections
What to tell the client
A separate module: the limits of what may be claimed, ready-made phrasing, and complaint handling — what to do if the skin reddens more than usual.
Launch
First treatments with support
After the training we launch the first treatments in your room with before-and-after photo documentation — so that in a month you have something to show.
It was my first time at one of these seminars and I liked everything about it. I particularly want to mention the warm, welcoming atmosphere, how easy and accessible the material was to follow, and the fact that all our questions were answered clearly and in detail. Everything was very well organised, calm, interesting and professional. I came away with nothing but good impressions.
Training is included in the partnership — there is nothing extra to pay for it. We will tell you the format and the next available dates.
Join us→Brand ambassadors
Faces your client already knows
CARELIKA has public ambassadors with their own audiences across the Baltics — more than 150 thousand followers between them. For a treatment room that is a ready-made argument in conversation with a client: a brand chosen by well-known people sells without lengthy explanations.

Brand advertising films
Vertical 9:16 videos on the carboxy therapy and the booster — ready to publish on Instagram, TikTok and on the screen in your room. Partners receive them together with the photo library.
Partners get access to the brand's photo and video library — for the window display, social media and advertising. There is nothing you need to shoot yourself.
The heritage of the method
The method is more than two thousand years old
Carboxy therapy came out of spa medicine. Only one thing here is new — it has become needle-free.
- ~400 BC
- Hippocrates treats skin with carbonated water.
- 1932
- Paris: the first clinical CO₂ injections.
- from 2006
- University of Siena: a dedicated course on the method.
- Today
- The same gas — but without a needle, in a cosmetologist's room.
Based on a review publication on carboxy therapy provided by CARELIKA.
Indications in aesthetic medicine
- Signs of photo- and chronological skin ageing
- Static and dynamic wrinkles
- Loss of tone and firmness
- Gynoid lipodystrophy
- Stretch marks and scars
Horizon 2026 — 2030
Where professional cosmetology is heading
The global skincare market is valued at 150 billion dollars in 2025 and forecast at around 207 billion by 2030. What is growing is not the number of treatments but the demand that they be justified.
01
Longevity instead of anti-age
The focus is shifting from "remove the signs of age" to "support the skin's biological resilience". The client is buying prevention, not correction.
Carboxy therapy works on cellular respiration and metabolism — that is the language of longevity, not of concealment.
02
Barrier before aggression
A move away from damaging protocols towards gentle but evidenced actives. Irritation is no longer taken as a sign of effectiveness.
A protocol with no injections and no downtime, suitable for sensitive skin, with lipid restoration as the final step.
03
Biotech actives
Ingredients obtained biotechnologically and by fermentation are displacing classic synthetic equivalents.
Succinic acid is a fermentation product of a skin commensal. Oxygeskin is a biotechnological active.
04
Evidence instead of promises
Clients are better informed and tired of being over-promised. The brands that win are the ones that show instrument data and name their limits honestly.
Our own study with Eurofins, and the separation of instrumental figures from self-assessment — that is exactly this position.
Distribution
We are looking for partners in countries where we are not yet present

If your country is not on the list, the market is open. Write and tell us which country you are in: we will check the territory and send you the terms for your market. Data as of 2026.
What you get
A category, not a line on a price list
Needle-free carboxy therapy is a growing field in which most markets still have no strong international player. Entering an open category costs less than fighting for share in an occupied one.
Documentation
The registration pack is ready
INCI and pH for every item, the independent Eurofins study report, the formulas, manufacturing in France to GMP standard. Registration in a new market starts not by requesting documents but by reviewing them.
Portfolio
More than 200 products behind the carboxy therapy
Amber Carboxy Therapy is the entry point. Behind it stands the line: the retail system, sterile serums, more than 55 professional masks. A distributor grows turnover without adding new suppliers.
Speed of rollout
A room enters with a single kit
A low barrier to entry for the end customer is a distributor's main tool. A treatment room does not need to buy volume in order to try: one kit, a course on its own clients, then a decision about reordering.
Marketing
Materials, not a promise of support
The brand's photo and video library, shoots with public ambassadors, vertical films, cosmetologist method guides and ready-made sales phrasing. Nothing has to be shot or written from scratch.
Training
Academy International trains your team
We train not only treatment rooms but also the distributor's own specialists — so that you can train your customers yourself, in person or by video call.
Amber Carboxy Therapy is one of the best masks, and demand for it never drops.
In Ireland we are very happy with Amber Carboxy Therapy. Many clients particularly value the glow of the skin after the treatment and the fact that they get a complete care system in one kit.
In the Benelux countries Amber Carboxy Therapy enjoys steady demand. Cosmetologists choose amber carboxy therapy for anti-ageing care among other uses.
The shape of the agreement
The figures depend on the country and the channel, which is why we do not publish them on this page. But the list of what gets discussed is the same for everyone — so that you understand the structure of the arrangement before the first call.
- Territory and the term of exclusivity. Which country or region you are assigned and for what period.
- Opening order and delivery schedule. The size of the first shipment and the frequency of deliveries against your sales forecast.
- Prices and margin structure. Set out separately by channel: professional, retail, online.
- Registration and localisation. Who prepares the documents and labels for the requirements of your market.
- Training. The plan for preparing your team and the schedule of training for your customers.
- Marketing. Access to the materials library, localisation and joint activity for the first year.
Write and tell us which country you are in and which channel you work with — we will check the territory and send the terms for your market.
Manufacturing and control
Behind the line there is no contract assembly from someone else's components, but our own manufacturing in France to GMP standard — with filling, a laboratory and control of every batch.
Do you work with professional skincare and are you looking for a new category? We will tell you whether your market is open.
Discuss distribution→Materials for cosmetologists
Take the protocol and the payback calculation — before you buy anything
We hand over the working documents with no strings attached. Look at the protocol, work out your own economics, ask your questions — and only then decide whether you want an opening order.
What arrives by email
- The treatment protocol — six steps, doses in grams and millilitres, water temperature, exposure times.
- The nine-point checklist — the one that goes on the wall in the room and prints onto a single page.
- The payback calculation — a table built around your treatment price and your number of rooms.
- The limits of what may be claimed — what you may say to a client and what each phrase rests on.
- The price list for the professional kit, the retail line and an opening order.

Partner questions
What people ask before the first order
Do I need a licence or a physician?
For carboxy therapy in stand-alone mode, no. The treatment is needle-free, the skin barrier is not broken, and a cosmetologist performs it. Microneedling as a second stage is a different matter: authorisation requirements vary by country and are agreed for your market separately.
How many treatments come out of one kit?
Ten. A 200 g mask at 20 g per application and a 20 ml booster at 2 ml per dose. We send the cost and payback calculation together with the price list on request.
How does the training work?
The mechanism explained, the protocol practised, objection handling and complaint review — in person or by video call. Together with the cosmetologist's method guide and the nine-point checklist.
What documents do you provide?
INCI and pH for every product, the Eurofins report on the line's booster, the formula of the carboxy mask, the photo-documentation protocol. Manufactured in France, to GMP standard.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the protocol is gentle, with no injections and no recovery period. Contraindications and the grounds for cancelling are set out in the "Who we treat and when we cancel" section and repeated in the method guide.
What about photos and videos for social media?
Partners get access to the brand's materials library, including shoots with the ambassadors and vertical 9:16 films. There is nothing you need to shoot yourself.
What is the minimum opening order?
One kit. Not a pallet and not a starter package costing thousands of euros — one kit for ten treatments. The room runs a course on its own clients, works out its own economics, and only then decides whether to take volume.
I have several locations — how do I train everyone?
Training covers the whole team, in person or by video call. A single protocol, the method guide and the nine-point checklist produce the same result in every room, and the photo-documentation protocol lets the owner judge the quality of the work from photographs rather than from reviews.
Can I start with one location?
Yes, and we recommend it. One kit, a course at one location, your own payback figures — and only then a rollout to the other rooms. The pilot costs one kit, not a chain's budget.
How long does delivery take?
Within Latvia — up to 3 working days. Across the Baltics the courier service delivers in 1–2 working days, and across the rest of Europe usually 3–5 working days depending on the country. We ship with a tracking number and confirm the exact date when the order is confirmed.
