CO₂-enriched water immersion increases skin microcirculation rhythmic activity by ~300%
Vasomotion amplitude in the cutaneous microcirculation rose by 300% during immersion in CO₂-enriched water compared to no change during fresh-water immersion at the same temperature.
What this means for you
Vasomotion — the natural rhythmic pulsing of tiny blood vessels in your skin — is a sign of healthy, active circulation. A 300% rise in this activity suggests CO₂-enriched water immersion meaningfully wakes up surface circulation, which may support nutrient delivery, skin vitality, and the kind of warmth and recovery most people associate with feeling genuinely restored.
