Carboxytherapy is one of the most effective methods for reducing both old and new stretch marks and scars. This treatment brings visible improvement to the skin regardless of its color and shade. Thanks to the action of carbon dioxide (CO2), the skin undergoes intensive regeneration, becomes more elastic, and its structure becomes more uniform.
How does carboxytherapy work on scars?
During carboxytherapy, controlled doses of medical CO2 are introduced under the skin using a thin needle. The gas dilates blood vessels and stimulates the process of angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels. This results in better oxygenation and nourishment of the skin, leading to an improvement in its quality and elasticity. Another mechanism of action is the stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis, which densifies the skin and evens out its structure. As a result, stretch marks gradually take on a color similar to the natural skin tone, and scars become less visible. This process makes the skin in the treated areas firmer and tighter.
Effects of carboxytherapy on scars:
- Reduction in visibility of both new and old stretch marks.
- Smoothing and evening out the structure of scars, e.g., after a cesarean section or surgical procedures.
- Stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis, leading to skin densification.
- Improvement in skin tension and elasticity.
- Darkening of stretch marks to a color close to the natural skin tone.
- Improvement in tissue blood flow and oxygenation through angiogenesis stimulation.
- Possibility of starting therapy 2-3 weeks after scar healing.
Frequency of treatments:
The complete treatment cycle consists of 10 sessions, performed at intervals of 7-10 days. The regularity of treatments is crucial for achieving optimal regenerative and aesthetic effects. Carboxytherapy is an effective and safe method for improving skin quality, allowing for the reduction of stretch marks and scars in a natural and long-lasting way.
