Carboxy Treatment

What is Carboxytherapy?

Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical treatment which is most commonly used to treat and improve the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks and dark under-eye circles.

It is a painless method with long-lasting effects and involves controlled micro injections of carbon dioxide into the skin. The Co2 injected microscopically causes a rapid expansion of blood vessels and an increase in blood flow along with nutrients. This causes microcirculation and cell renewal. The inflammatory response stimulates collagen production.

Carboxytherapy FAQs

The Scalp: Strengthening scalp blood microcirculation results in better nutrition of the hair bulb matrix, accelerated growth and reduced hair loss.

The Face: The skin’s response to CO2 injection is to cause inflammation and initiate the process of remodelling, improving microcirculation and collagen production.

The Eyes: Carboxytherapy of the eye area is excellent for improving the condition of the eyelid skin. It allows you to reduce dark circles under the eyes, thicken the skin of the lower eyelid and reduce swelling.

The Neck & Decolletage: Carboxytherapy of the neck and decolletage has the accompanying effect of contraction of collagen fibres, which results in increased skin elasticity.

Scars & Stretch Marks: The linear development of scars or stretch marks is aimed at mechanical disruption of fibrosis and separation of connective tissue from the substrate, which gives the effect of sunken skin. The treatment forces the production of type III collagen and the creation of new blood vessels.

Fat Tissue Reduction: Carbon dioxide significantly reduces the pH of the tissue to which it is applied locally. The fat cell membranes dissolve, thanks to which the cells die, are metabolized, and excreted by the body. Carbon dioxide introduced into adipose tissue partially changes into carbonic acid, which dissolves fat cells.
