CARBOXYTHERAPY

CARBON DIOXIDE THERAPY

CARBOXYTHERAPY is ideal to be combined with and improve any other aesthetic treatment.

Carboxytherapy refers to the cutaneous and subcutaneous administration of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) for therapeutic purposes. Carboxytherapy originated at the Royal Spas of France in 1932 with the treatment of patients afflicted by peripheral arterial occlusive disease. By injecting small amounts of carbon dioxide just below the surface of the skin we are tricking it into increasing the blood circulation to that area. Also, has a mechanical effect to induce collagen production and restore skin structure.

WHAT IS CARBOXYTHERAPY?

Carboxytherapy involves small injections of CO2 to the targeted area, using a fine needle. This has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for both the face and body. Carboxytherapy is a effective as an aesthetic treatment to improve skin quality as well as treating cellulite.

The controlled introduction of CO2 gas stimulates blood flow, stimulating collagen production, improving blood flow, increasing skin elasticity, reducing inflammation and improving tissue oxygenation.

ALL CELLS IN THE BODY RELEASE CARBON DIOXIDE AS A WASTE PRODUCT THAT CAN THEN BE REMOVED FROM THE BODY VIA EXHALATION THROUGH THE LUNGS. WHEN CELLS ARE EXPOSED TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE, THEY FLIP THEIR CONFORMATION, RELEASE THE OXYGEN MOLECULES, AND THEN PICK UP THE CARBOX DIOXIDE SO THAT IT CAN BE EXHALE FROM THE LUNGS. AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF CARBON DIOXIDE THE TISSUES INCREASES THEIR OXYGENATION AND IMPROVE THEIR CIRCULATION

IS CO2 TOXIC?

Carbon dioxide is non toxic. Carbon dioxide is naturally produced by the cells in our bodies every day. It is a product of normal metabolism, where it is transported in the blood and exhaled.

HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL TREATMENT SESSION LAST?

The average carboxytherapy treatment takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete.

How Does CARBOXYTHERAPY Work?

This procedure takes approximately 15 minutes, is minimally invasive, and is proven to be highly effective in treating fine wrinkles, cellulite and stretch marks. The treatment involves small injections of carbon dioxide into the subcutaneous layer, which helps to reduce unnecessary fat clusters and stimulates the production of collagen.

As we age, the skin is deprived of sufficient collagen and regeneration, along with skin elasticity, decline. The introduction of carbon dioxide to the subcutaneous layer, causes cells to register a lack of oxygen which results in an increase in the production of the red blood cells that transport oxygen to the treated area. This increase in oxygen and nutrients encourages cell regeneration and helps to repair and restore the skin.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NECESSARY?

The number of sessions required varies due to the kind of performed treatment. Treatments for stretch marks will require from 4 to 6 sessions. For cellulite and peau d'orange, from 6 to 10 sessions are also required for optimum results. Dr Aguilar will meet you for a free consultation prior to treatment to discuss your expectations and give you a realistic idea of how many treatments you need and how soon you will see results.
