Carboxytherapy

Currently, carboxitherapy is one of the best treatments for sagging and rejuvenating body and face, improving dark circles, stretch marks and cellulite.

Carboxitherapy is a non-surgical method which consists of the therapeutic use of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) subcutaneously, this gas is non-toxic and non-embolic.

Carbon dioxide works by dilating blood vessels and stimulating the formation of new blood vessels, promoting better blood irrigation in the tissues and, consequently, better oxygenation of the treated region. Carbon dioxide also acts in the breakdown of fibroses in the subcutaneous tissue. Some studies show the favoring of collagen and elastin formation and the lipolytic effect (breakdown of fat cells) resulting from carboxitherapy.

The application of carboxitherapy provides a slight detachment of the skin, causing slight pain. Therefore, it is recommended to start the sessions with smaller dosages, so that the patient will gradually get used to the technique.

Carboxitherapy is especially indicated for:

- Improvement of dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes;

- Face sagging;
