In beauty salons, we can use many modern treatments that improve the condition of our skin. There are many innovative healing technologies and specialised devices. That is why we often have a problem with choosing one therapy that would guarantee the desired results. In such cases, it is worth using known, tested and improved therapeutic methods that have been used in cosmetology and aesthetic medicine for many years. This is the case with carboxytherapy treatment, for example.
This treatment is a well-known method of fighting wrinkles, cellulite, stretch marks and excess body fat. Carboxytherapy is a professional and effective way not only to remove wrinkles under the eyes. Also to fight other defects of our body. Its main advantage is that it improves skin physiology, i.e. it supports the body’s own reconstruction.
Carboxytherapy – what is it?
Carboxytherapy is a procedure involving the injection into the skin of a substance that naturally occurs in the human body. It is responsible for good collagen synthesis. As the body ages, the amount of this “youth component” decreases, and thus wrinkles and skin firmness are lost. By injecting carbon dioxide under the skin, we not only improve the blood supply to the skin. Above all we supply it with more oxygen and nutrients. The effect of the procedure, namely injection (skin injection) is inflammation. The natural consequence of which is the acceleration of cell reconstruction processes, i.e. the appearance of new and healthy building blocks of our body. There is an increase in the amount of collagen produced, filling in wrinkles and restoring youthful skin firmness. A similar procedure for carboxytherapy is the removal of wrinkles with hyaluronic acid.
Carboxytherapy – how is the procedure carried out?
Carboxytherapy treatment is a known therapeutic method, one of the oldest. Already many years ago, carbon dioxide was used in the form of therapeutic baths in people with venous problems. Then it was decided to make the first attempts at subcutaneous supply. It had the best effects in the treatment of atherosclerosis and diabetic ulcers. At that time, it was noticed that the side effect of the treatments was a remarkable improvement of the skin condition. Firming of the epidermis and smoothing wrinkles. Somehow, naturally, they began to think about using carbon dioxide injections for purely cosmetic purposes. And so carboxytherapy was created.
Today’s carboxytherapy is different from the previous one. Carbon dioxide is still given in the form of injection. We can control the amount of injected substance, as well as administer it in a heated form. The entire procedure is practically painless. Modern carboxytherapy devices use an old, known and tested method. It guarantee patients much better comfort and painlessness of the procedure. In addition, today’s therapy can be even more focused on achieving the best effect, because the development of science and technology has given us the ability to control the method and amount of injected substance.
Carboxytherapy treatment is a method well tested in terms of mechanisms of action and therapeutic effects.
Recommended treatment frequency
Certainly now many people wonder how long the effect lasts? Carboxytherapy treatment stimulates the skin to regenerate. It does not give immediate results, although the first visible changes can be seen after leaving the office. However, it must be remembered that the body needs time to rebuild, i.e. depending on the area being treated, from several days to several weeks. Then you can see the right effect.
If we want to reduce wrinkles around the mouth, usually 3 treatments are enough. When we treat other mimic wrinkles, for example around the eyes, we can see satisfactory effects after just one injection. In other cases related mainly to the treatment of cellulite, stretch marks or removal of excessive adipose tissue, these procedures must be performed more, on average from five to twelve.
The number of treatments needed always depends on the condition of the skin. Deep furrows will require longer therapy than shallow mimic wrinkles. It is worth noting that facial carboxytherapy requires less time intervals between treatments (e.g. once a week, maximum every second, third day) than when injecting cellulite, i.e. areas where the skin is naturally thicker and usually needs more time for regeneration.
The exact intervals to be maintained between treatments are always determined by a specialist, based on the specific case and observed skin reactions.
The most important contraindications to the procedure
We do not perform carboxytherapy treatment while we have a cold or take antibiotics. Pregnancy, severe heart and lung diseases, cancer, and inflammation in the treatment area are also an important contraindication. Of course, also in the case of carbonic anhydrosis inhibitor therapy, no such procedure is performed.
How much does carboxytherapy cost?
The price of the treatment depends primarily on the amount of carbon dioxide administered. If you are interested, please contact us by phone or email. Then we will certainly provide all necessary information.
