Treatment at a glance

CO₂ Gas Insufflation

  • What it is

    A clinician-administered treatment in which small, controlled amounts of sterile medical-grade carbon dioxide gas are introduced just beneath the skin through a very fine needle. The gas is gradually absorbed and is thought to encourage local blood flow and a gentle warming sensation in the treated area.

  • Who it's for

    Guests with sluggish peripheral circulation, aching joints or persistent muscular tension who would like a non-surgical complement to their spa programme. Suitability is always confirmed by our resident physician at your arrival consultation.

  • Expected results

    Over a course of sessions, many guests describe improved local circulation, eased stiffness and a lighter feeling in the legs. Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.
