An aesthetic medical treatment that injects medical-grade carbon dioxide into the subcutaneous tissue to stimulate circulation, oxygenation, and collagen production.
What it is and how it is performed
What it is
Carboxytherapy is an innovative aesthetic medical treatment that injects medical-grade carbon dioxide into the subcutaneous tissue to stimulate circulation, oxygenation, and the production of collagen and elastin. It is the ideal solution if you wish to improve cellulite, reduce orange-peel skin, decrease water retention, diminish dark circles and under-eye bags, or tighten loose skin on the abdomen, arms, and inner thighs. Perfect also for reducing recent stretch marks and scars, and can be used on the scalp as well.
Carboxytherapy uses a natural biological mechanism of the body to stimulate rejuvenation from within, without resorting to artificial substances.
How it is performed
Medical-grade carbon dioxide is injected into the subcutaneous tissue of the treated area using very fine needles. Once injected, the carbon dioxide simulates an oxygen deficiency in the surrounding tissues. Your body, perceiving this situation, naturally reacts by increasing local blood flow and the production of collagen and elastin to “bring oxygen back” to the area. This biological process gradually reshapes the skin, improving the appearance of cellulite, scars, and skin laxity.
The mechanism is completely natural: you are harnessing your body’s innate biological response to promote natural regeneration.
