Can carbon dioxide be good for us? Carboxytherapy.

Carboxytherapy is a treatment that involves injecting carbon dioxide under the skin. Although it may sound surprising, properly administered carbon dioxide has a strong rejuvenating and body-contouring effect. Why does this happen?

Carbon dioxide administered under the skin works in multiple ways. Some of it reacts with body fluids to form carbonic acid, which dissolves fat cells. Amazing, right? But that's not all of its benefits. This procedure also stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, which brings about several positive consequences. Firstly, the byproducts of dissolved fat cells are easier to remove from the treated area, and can then be metabolized. Secondly, better oxygenated tissue will always function better. This leads to better nourishment of the cells, making them work more effectively. Neovascularization has a very positive effect on skin pigmentation and works great in combating stretch marks, for example.

Stimulated and well-perfused cells also synthesize more new collagen and elastin, which firms and densifies the skin.

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, carboxytherapy has multiple effects. By eliminating fat, it helps in body sculpting and reducing cellulite. At the same time, it firms the skin and reduces stretch marks and scars. Thanks to neovascularization, which is the formation of new blood vessels, the effects of the treatment last longer because the blood vessels continue to nourish the skin cells.

Carboxytherapy is typically applied to the entire body. Which area would you be most interested in having treated?
