Carboxytherapy, uses the subcutaneous administration of carbon dioxide using very fine needles, similar to those used in mesotherapy. It is based primarily on the body’s reaction to increased levels of carbon dioxide introduced into the subcutaneous layers of the skin.
Blood vessels dilate in response to the CO2 and then blood circulation increases. Thus, there is a greater supply of oxygen and nutrients to the area being treated.
As a result, the process stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration. In addition, it corrects imperfections, reduces wrinkles and enhances the overall appearance of the skin. Finally, the treatment is ideal for reducing localized fat on the face, neck and body. Carbon dioxide is a by-product that is also produced by the human body itself. Thus, it makes the treatment non-toxic since excess CO2 is naturally eliminated from our body.
