Carboxytherapy

 

Our medical providers use medical grade carbon dioxide to improve circulation during your Carboxytherapy treatment to promote a variety of benefits. Carboxytherapy boosts oxygen in the skin which helps stimulate collagen production giving the skin a firmer, younger appearance. Carboxytherapy treatment can be used all over the body, such as to treat the under the eyes, eyelids, face, double-chin or neck, arms, stomach, buttocks, and legs. 

Carboxytherapy may be used to for several conditions such as: dark circles under the eyes, acne scars & skin laxity, cellulite, wrinkles, and stretch marks. The number of sessions depends on each individual case being treated. For cellulite six to ten sessions are usually necessary, whereas for dark circles under the eyes four to six sessions may be required. There is no downtime and the treatment discomfort is minimal.

HISTORY

This skin therapy originated from Danish physicist, Christian Bohr, who observed in the early 20th century that carbon dioxide triggers increased circulation to boost oxygen levels. Since Bohr’s early studies, Carboxytherapy has been used in the field of aesthetics ranging from alopecia to wound healing in burn victims. As a by product of Carbotherapy, patients who received the treatment also noticed the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and improved skin texture.

HOW DOES THE TREATMENT WORK?

Medical grade carbon dioxide is injected at the subcutaneous level using a fine needle just below the surface of the skin. When carbon dioxide is in introduced in high concentrations, blood flow to the area increases to restore the carbon dioxide-oxygen balance. As a result, the body is more capable of ‘healing’ the treated area, creating healthier looking skin. Our medical providers use numbing cream on the treatment area to reduce discomfort since Carboxytherapy uses a number of injections. Results are seen immediately, but for the most noticeable effects, full treatment should include four to six sessions, each scheduled a month apart.

BENEFITS

Patients can expect results that arise from improved blood flow and oxygenation such as:
