Restore smooth, even, healthy-looking skin with advanced Carboxy Therapy at StudioMD SoHo.
A Proven Solution for Stretch Marks and Skin Irregularities
Stretch marks, uneven skin texture, and lingering scars can affect confidence at any age. At StudioMD SoHo, Carboxy Stretch Mark Therapy offers a non-surgical, science-driven solution that stimulates collagen production, increases circulation, and revitalizes compromised skin. This treatment is known for its ability to improve the appearance of stretch marks caused by pregnancy, rapid weight changes, growth spurts, or past injury, while also enhancing overall skin tone and firmness.
Our experienced medical providers use refined techniques and medical-grade equipment to ensure comfortable treatments, predictable outcomes, and gradual, long-lasting improvements. Whether you are looking to reduce older white stretch marks or newer red or purple streaks, Carboxy Therapy can help restore smoother and more uniform skin.
What Is Carboxy Stretch Mark Therapy?
Carboxy Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that infuses carbon dioxide just beneath the skin to increase oxygenation, boost circulation, and trigger natural collagen rebuilding. This physiological response enhances tissue repair, improves elasticity, and reduces the look of irregularities like stretch marks, cellulite, and textural imbalances.
Carbon dioxide is naturally produced by the body during normal metabolic processes. When introduced into the skin through controlled microinjections, it stimulates a healing response without damaging surrounding tissue.
Stretch marks form when rapid stretching disrupts collagen fibers in the dermis, creating visible lines that may appear red, purple, or white depending on their age. Carboxy Therapy addresses this damage by increasing blood flow and oxygenation to the affected area. As circulation improves, fibroblasts become more active and begin producing new collagen, thickening the skin and improving texture.
What to Expect During Treatment
Using a very fine 30-gauge needle, your provider introduces small amounts of carbon dioxide gas into the subcutaneous tissue. The gas spreads to nearby areas, enhancing microcirculation and prompting a rejuvenation response. Treatments are quick, typically lasting between fifteen and thirty minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Treatment Areas
Carboxy Stretch Mark Therapy can be performed on many areas where the skin has been stretched or weakened, including:
Abdomen
Hips
Thighs
Buttocks
Breasts
Upper arms
Flanks and lower back
It is also effective for mild cellulite, small scars, and uneven tone in various parts of the body.
Why Carbon Dioxide Works
Carbon dioxide triggers two beneficial effects:
It mechanically disrupts fat cells in areas where cellulite or uneven texture is present.
It causes vasodilation, increasing oxygen-rich blood flow so the skin receives more nutrients for healing.
Together, these effects encourage the production of new collagen and elastin, making the treated skin smoother, firmer, and more even.

I had a few procedures done at StudioMD. I was very satisfied with the service Dr. Sadaf Qazi and her team provided. They kept me informed throughout the process. The doctor and her team was easy to reach after my surgery. I would highly recommend StudioMD.

Dr. Qazi and her entire staff have warm and welcoming demeanors, a high degree of hospitality, positive attitudes, always smiling and acting with the utmost level of respect, patient care, and making each patient feel special. They focus on client comfort and take their time with each person answering any and all questions. Dr. Qazi never rushes her appointments. She takes the time to listen to every concern and is thorough in each interaction I've had with her. She gave me her personal cell number so even during nights and weekends if a concern or question arises I am able to contact her for a mini evaluation of my issue or answering of my questions. The care I've received has continued long after the procedure was completed and I am so glad that I chose her to do my tummy tuck and liposuction. The results are outstanding and she is the only one I would trust to do any cosmetic procedures going forward.

I went to StudioMD's midtown location for laser tattoo removal. Jennifer is extremely personable, she ensured expectations for the amount of sessions needed for removal as well as ensured my comfort during the treatment. I chose to purchase a package for 6-sessions, and would consider seeking other treatments from StudioMD in the future. Would definitely recommend them to others, and in particular recommend working with Jennifer.

I recently had a SmartLipo procedure with Dr. Khan at Studio MD, and I could not be happier with the entire experience. From my very first consultation to the post-op follow-ups, Dr. Khan demonstrated exceptional professionalism, skill, and care. What really stood out to me was his communication. He took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answer every single question I had (and I had a lot!), and never made me feel rushed. He made sure I understood exactly what to expect before, during, and after the procedure, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Dr. Khan's attention to detail is second to none. He was incredibly meticulous with his work, ensuring that everything was done with precision and care. I felt completely confident in his hands, and the results have exceeded my expectations. His thoroughness also extends to aftercare. He gave me clear post-op instructions, and made sure my recovery was smooth. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in delivering excellent outcomes. If you're considering SmartLipo or any cosmetic procedure, I highly recommend Dr. Khan. His expertise, communication, and attention to every little detail make him one of the best in the field. Thank you, Dr. Khan and the team at Studio MD!

I recently went into StudioMD to have a procedure done by Dr. Khan. Specifically, I wanted to treat excess fat in my abdominal area and decided to opt for smart lipo. Dr. Khan is very sure of himself as a doctor, which put a lot of my woes to the side. This was my first large cosmetic surgery, so I was extremely nervous. On the day of my procedure, I was delayed because some events were happening in the city, and Dr. Khan and his nurses were extremely accommodating. They let me take my time (I had to pee and just couldn't because of nerves until 2 minutes before surgery) and even gave me pep talks and stress balls to calm my nerves. When we got to work, it was quick and effortless. Dr. Khan allowed me to ask as many questions as I wanted and even called the next day to see how I was doing. They prescribed meds that were ready for pickup immediately and even gave me additional meds that I asked for pain management just in case. One of the amazing nurse technicians even text me afterward and shared her favorite shapewear and other things to help with recovery. I know many of these things seem like, "yeah, they should do that", but I've seen a lot of practices that don't. I also felt the price was fairly affordable since I've seen similar pricing outside of NYC. I'm beginning to feel beautiful in my body again, and I am so thankful to Dr. Khan and his staff. I'll be back soon for some other small cosmetic procedures I want to keep up.

I was referred to Dr. Khan to have neck liposuction and decided to also have my midsection done to correct uneven results from another doctor. Understanding that revision work can be difficult... my expectations were low. I could see immediately after the surgery just how much he improved my situation. Dr Khan operates with the confidence of a seasoned professional. You really can't go wrong with this guy.
“I had my lipo with Dr Khan yesterday and today I can already see the desired changes in my waist and belly area ,I am happy with his performance”
Recovery
Recovery is minimal. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after their appointment. Some may experience slight warmth or mild tingling in the treated area due to increased circulation, but this typically fades within minutes. Redness, if present, is mild and short-lived. No restrictions are required, although your provider will recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and maintaining proper hydration for optimal results.
Results
Results develop gradually as collagen production increases. Many clients notice improvements after a few sessions, but full results typically emerge after completing a series of treatments spaced one week apart. Most individuals benefit from six to twelve sessions for optimal improvement.
Benefits include:
Reduced visibility of red, purple, or white stretch marks
Smoother and thicker skin in treated areas
Improved elasticity and tone
Diminished appearance of mild cellulite
More even and youthful-looking skin
With proper skincare and sun protection, results can be long-lasting.

Ask About Our Financing Options During Your Consultation
The treatment introduces carbon dioxide beneath the skin to increase circulation and stimulate collagen regeneration. As new collagen forms, the texture and appearance of stretch marks improve.
Is Carboxy Therapy painful?
Most clients experience only slight tingling or mild pressure during treatment. Any sensation fades within seconds, and the area may feel warm due to improved circulation.
Is carbon dioxide safe?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is naturally produced by the body and eliminated through the lungs. It is non-toxic and safely used in controlled medical treatments worldwide.
How many treatments will I need?
The recommended number varies based on the severity of the stretch marks. Most clients need six to twelve sessions spaced one week apart for the best results.
How does Carboxy Therapy compare to laser stretch mark treatments?
Carboxy Therapy improves internal collagen restructuring and circulation, while laser treatments resurface the skin’s surface. Some clients combine the two for enhanced results.
Are there restrictions after treatment?
None. You can resume daily activities immediately. Mild redness or warmth is normal and temporary.
