About
Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that involves injecting medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas under the skin to improve circulation, collagen production, and skin elasticity. It is commonly used for various aesthetic and medical purposes.
A fine needle injects CO₂ just beneath the skin.
The body interprets the increase in CO₂ as a sign of oxygen deficiency.
This triggers increased blood flow and oxygenation to the area.
Over time, collagen production increases, and skin becomes firmer and healthier.
Consultation
A consultation for carboxytherapy is an essential step to determine if the treatment is right for you. Here’s what typically happens during the session:
1. Medical History & Assessment
The provider will ask about:
Your medical history (e.g., circulatory issues, diabetes, skin conditions).
Any previous cosmetic treatments or surgeries.
Current medications, allergies, and health conditions.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding status (treatment is not recommended in these cases).
Benefits
Carboxytherapy offers several benefits for skin rejuvenation, fat reduction, and overall aesthetic improvement. Here are some of the key advantages:
1. Improves Skin Elasticity & Firmness
-
Stimulates collagen production, which tightens and firms the skin.
-
Reduces sagging and enhances skin texture.
2. Reduces Cellulite & Localized Fat
-
Breaks down fat cells and improves blood circulation in the treated areas.
-
Helps smooth out dimpled skin caused by cellulite.
3. Minimizes Stretch Marks & Scars
-
Promotes skin healing by stimulating new collagen formation.
-
Helps fade both old and new stretch marks.
4. Lightens Dark Circles Under the Eyes
-
Improves oxygenation and circulation in the under-eye area.
-
Reduces puffiness and pigmentation.
5. Promotes Hair Growth
-
Enhances blood flow to the scalp, delivering nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles.
-
Can help with hair thinning and certain types of alopecia.
Lasting Effect
Most people require 4 to 10 sessions, spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart, for optimal results. Maintenance treatments every few months may be recommended.
