What Is Carboxytherapy? 10 Things to Know

Carboxytherapy is a treatment for fat removal, medical conditions, and skin concerns. It is noninvasive, so patients do not have to get a surgical procedure or experience any downtime after the treatment.

The treatment varies based on the part of your body receiving treatment. However, its mechanics are often similar. Your physician will connect a carbon dioxide tank to a flow regulator with plastic tubing. Your specialist will regulate or control the gas flowing from the tank.

The carbon dioxide gas flows through the flow regulator into a sterile tubing with a filter at its end. As a result, no impurity enters your body due to the filter. The gas will then flow through a small needle with the filter at the other end of the tubing. Your physician will inject the flowing gas beneath your skin. 

Once the CO2 gas gets injected, your body rejects it, seeing it as a state of inadequate oxygen. Blood flows to the injected area to deliver an oxygen boost to promote tissue regeneration and healing. Thus, it helps combat the deficiency perceived. 

Successful Treatment for More Than a Century

Carboxytherapy has helped different patients for over a century. It first helped treat patients in the 1930s in the Royal Spas of France. It successfully treated peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Since then, the treatment has been delivered in new and diverse ways.

Improves Different Skin Conditions

Carboxytherapy can address different skin conditions, from wrinkle to cellulite removal. It can also do the following:

• Shrinks pores

• Accelerates healing after laser treatments and chemical peels

• Tightens skin

• Creates a youthful glow and brightens skin

• Eliminates eye puffiness

• Smoothens skin texture

• Fades wrinkles and fine lines

• Rejuvenates the vagina

• Reduces under-eye dark circles

• Mutes scars

Hydrating

Carboxytherapy has significant hydrating benefits. Your specialist will ask you to seek treatment every three weeks to moisturize and help plump your skin.

Treats Different Medical Conditions

Carboxytherapy helps with cosmetic treatments. It also treats various medical conditions such as erectile dysfunction, arthritis, Raynaud’s syndrome, and alopecia.

Available in Topical and Injectable Forms

Traditionally, carboxytherapy is administered by injecting gas into the body. However, the industrial revolution allows using topical CO2 products without discomfort.

Removes Fat in Different Body Regions

Carboxytherapy does what exercises and diet cannot. Subcutaneous or stubborn fat rests under your skin and over your muscles. Most times, a healthy lifestyle cannot remove this kind of fat. It can remove fat in the following regions:

• Stomach

• Arms

• Pelvic area

• Buttocks

• Face

• Eyelids

No Risks and More Cost Effective Than Surgery

Carboxytherapy treatment is cheaper than surgery even after multiple sessions. It also has no risks associated with surgical procedures as it is noninvasive. Most clients prefer it for its many pros, such as no high surgery costs, anesthesia risks, or incisions.

Pain-free, Effective, and Safe Treatment

Safety is a significant part of successful treatment. Carboxytherapy is a safe treatment that delivers a successful outcome for its patients. 

Fast Treatment

The fifteen to thirty minutes of the carbon dioxide treatment are enough to reap the results you desire. You will require no downtime after treatment and can resume your usual activities.

Immediate Visible Results

Carbon dioxide treatment does not require waiting to see expected results. Results are immediate and get better over time. The anti-inflammatory properties help soothe your skin for a pain-free and instant transformation.
