The process of skin aging on the body progresses slower than on the face, but it is equally relentless – a decrease in collagen density, worsening microcirculation, loss of elasticity, and slackness occur gradually, often unnoticed. Carboxytherapy is a medical method of biostimulation that addresses the cause of these changes – hypoxia and weakened cellular activity. It is a regenerative therapy, not a "party procedure," so its effects are gradual, natural, and long-lasting.
At the Beauty Embassy in Warsaw, anti-aging carboxytherapy for the body is part of a conscious skin rejuvenation strategy – aimed at improving the quality of tissues, not just their temporary tension. It is a proposal for patients who expect a real improvement in skin density and firmness.
How does carboxytherapy work for body skin rejuvenation?
The procedure involves the controlled, intradermal administration of medical carbon dioxide (CO₂). The body reacts to its presence by increasing blood flow and intensely activating repair processes. It is a physiological mechanism – we utilize the natural response of tissues.
Key mechanisms of action:
- Vasodilation and improved microcirculation – CO₂ induces the Bohr effect, increasing oxygen release from hemoglobin, resulting in better oxygenation and nourishment of the skin.
- Stimulation of fibroblasts – activation of cells responsible for collagen and elastin synthesis leads to densification and strengthening of the skin structure.
- Induction of controlled microinflammation – initiates a repair cascade that leads to the remodeling of collagen fibers.
- Improvement of cellular metabolism – increased blood flow speeds up the removal of metabolites and supports regenerative processes.
- Influence on the extracellular matrix – reorganization of supportive fibers improves skin tension and resistance to further slackness.
- Indirect improvement in hydration – increased fibroblast activity supports the production of natural matrix components, resulting in better water retention.
To conclude this part: carboxytherapy does not "tighten" the skin mechanically – it biologically rebuilds it. This is a fundamental difference.
When is it worth using anti-aging carboxytherapy on the body?
We recommend the procedure when the first or advanced signs of skin quality loss appear:
- skin slackness after weight loss,
- loss of firmness after pregnancy,
- thin, less elastic skin on the arms ("bat wings"),
- deterioration of abdominal and thigh tension,
- weakened knee skin structure,
- symptoms of body skin photoaging,
- anti-aging prevention after 30–35 years of age.
It is also a good method to support other firming procedures – especially when we want to improve skin quality before lifting therapies.
On which body areas do we apply carboxytherapy?
The procedure can be precisely tailored to the selected area, depending on the problem and skin thickness:
- Arms – improve tension, skin densification, reduce slackness.
- Abdomen – firming after pregnancy or weight loss, improving skin elasticity.
- Buttocks – lifting improvement of tension and tissue quality.
- Thighs (inner and outer) – reduction of slackness, improvement of resilience.
- Knees – smoothing and densification of thin skin.
- Hands – revitalization, improvement of color and tension.
The scope of therapy is determined individually during a consultation, assessing skin thickness, elasticity, and the degree of changes.
Effects of anti-aging carboxytherapy on the body
The effects gradually build up during the series of treatments and result from the remodeling of the skin structure:
- Improved firmness and tension – increased collagen production strengthens the skin's framework, which translates into greater resilience.
- Reduction of slackness – the skin becomes more compact, especially in areas prone to tension loss.
- Skin densification and thickening – remodeling of the extracellular matrix improves its structure and resistance to further aging.
- Better complexion and blood flow – improved microcirculation gives the skin a healthier, more uniform appearance.
- Improved elasticity – rebuilding elastin fibers increases the skin's ability to return to its original shape.
- Smoothing of fine body wrinkles – particularly around the abdomen and knees.
- Long-term rejuvenation effect – a series of treatments leads to real remodeling, not a temporary tension effect.
It is worth emphasizing: the effects are biological, and therefore require consistency.
Recommended number of treatments
For optimal results, we recommend:
- 6–12 treatments,
- performed 1–2 times a week,
- then maintenance treatments every 3–6 months.
The therapy plan is always adjusted to the skin's biological age and reactivity.
What to combine carboxytherapy with to enhance the effect?
In clinical practice, we achieve the best results when carboxytherapy is part of a broader protocol:
- Radiofrequency (e.g., INDIBA® for the body)
→ improves skin quality and supports collagen remodeling;
→ can be performed alternately at intervals of a few days.
- Endermologie LPG
→ supports microcirculation and drainage;
→ especially beneficial for slackness combined with lymphatic stagnation.
- Needle mesotherapy for the body
→ after a series of carboxytherapy, when the skin is better vascularized and more reactive.
We do not combine injection treatments on the same day in the same area. Key are appropriate intervals and a therapeutic plan – improvisation in aesthetic medicine rarely yields good results.
Why do patients choose anti-aging carboxytherapy?
- because they expect a natural improvement in skin quality,
- because they do not want surgical methods,
- because they care about a causative therapy,
- because they value treatments with a documented biological mechanism.
This is a solution for those aware that the rejuvenation process is a strategy, not a one-time procedure.
Anti-aging carboxytherapy for the body is a medical regeneration method that restores the skin's biological activity and supports its natural rebuilding ability. It works deeply – at the level of microcirculation and fibroblasts – improving the density, elasticity, and tension of tissues.
If you care about a lasting improvement in skin quality, not a temporary visual effect, carboxytherapy is a rational and effective element of a comprehensive anti-aging program at the Beauty Embassy Warsaw.
