About Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy refers to the cutaneous and subcutaneous administration of carbon dioxide gas [CO2] for therapeutic purposes.
Carboxytherapy originated at the Royal Spas of France in 1932 with the treatment of patients afflicted by peripheral arterial occlusive disease. In South America and Europe, carbon dioxide therapy has been applied to the treatment of stretch marks, cellulite, and hypertrophic scars with impressive results.
Studies have demonstrated that carboxytherapy improves skin elasticity, improves circulation, encourages collagen repair, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and destroys localized fatty deposits.
Carbon dioxide is a natural constituent of our very being. We breathe in oxygen, and we exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take up the carbon dioxide, and in turn give us the oxygen that we need. There are no known risks associated with carboxytherapy. Carbon dioxide injection has been safely used for years to facilitate endoscopic surgeries of the abdomen.
Carboxytherapy offers a variety of potential benefits, including:
Reduced cellulite: Carbon dioxide injections stimulate blood flow and collagen production, which can help break down fat cells and smooth the appearance of cellulite.
Improved skin elasticity:Carboxytherapy increases the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for firm, youthful-looking skin.
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles: The increased blood flow and collagen production can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Reduced dark under-eye circles:Carboxytherapy can improve circulation and break down blood pigments that contribute to dark circles.
Reduced stretch marks:The stimulation of collagen and elastin production can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
Brighter, tighter skin: The increased blood flow helps to remove toxins and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
Deeper hydration:Carboxytherapy boosts the skin's metabolism and natural oxygen production, providing deep hydration.
Cleaned pores: The carbon dioxide gas can help to loosen and remove dirt and debris from the pores.
Other potential benefits:
Wound healing: Carboxytherapy can increase blood flow and oxygen delivery to the wound site, which can promote healing.
Pain relief: The carbon dioxide gas may have a pain-relieving effect.
Improved circulation: Carboxytherapy can dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow to the treated area.
Detoxification: The increased blood flow and oxygen delivery can help to remove toxins from the body.
Carboxytherapy for Stretch Marks
Stretchmarks [striae distensae]are characterized by wide linear bands of discolored or wrinkled skin that occurs in areas of collagen damage due to stretching. Striae are usually found on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and breasts.
Women develop stretchmarks more commonly than men, and striae are seen in 90% of pregnant women due to a combination of hormonal factors along with increased stress on the collagen and elastin in the skin.
Some studies indicated that striae are a form of scar tissue that forms in response to collagen rupture and elastic fiber changes. Two types of striae are described, newly formed, reddish colored “striae rubrae” and older, white “striae albae.” The treatment of striae distensae has been challenging and various modalities have been studied.
These include topical retinoids (Retin A), microdermabrasion, intense pulsed light (IPL) and fractionated laser skin resurfacing. Although striae are thought to be a result of collagen rupture and breakdown during stretching of the skin, until recently, few treatments actually targeted the root cause of the striae formation, the damaged collagen in the dermal layer. Furthermore, laser and light modalities are not safe for individuals with darker skin tones.
Carboxytherapyis the only treatment available for both old and new stretchmarks that visibly repairs the broken collagen and is safe for all skintypes. Carboxytherapy causes the formation of new collagen and subsequently thickens the skin to improve the appearance of the stretchmarks by rebuilding the collagen matrix.
