Carboxytherapy

Carboxytherapy is a treatment for cellulite, stretch marks, and dark under-eye circles. The treatment can be applied to the eyelids, neck, face, arms, buttocks, stomach, and legs. It uses infusions of carbon dioxide, a naturally occurring gas in the body.

 

Carboxytherapy involves injecting carbon dioxide under the surface of the skin with a fine needle. The idea is that the introduction of carbon dioxide makes your body think that there is an oxygen deficiency in that area and responds by increasing blood flow to that part of the body, as well as widening blood vessels. This leads to an increase in oxygen which helps to restore cells, which improves the appearance of the skin. The procedure is painless, but topical numbing cream might be applied to the injection site. Sessions usually take about 15-30 minutes. After 5 sessions of Carboxytherapy, the skin will be noticeably healthier and smoother.
