Definition and objectives

Carboxytherapy is a new, simple and proven technique to improve loose skin and eliminate dark circles, bags under the eyes and cellulite. With age, blood circulation slows down and carboxytherapy can help stimulate this. Improved blood and lymph circulation encourage cellular exchanges and blood flow towards the cells brings them more oxygen.

Carboxytherapy is particularly good for old stretch marks.

Prior to the procedure

Facial rejuvenation treatment specific to each person will be offered based on:

Skin analysis in terms of:

- skin type and quality,

- degree of skin alteration caused by the sun,

- cutaneous elasticity,

- pigment and vascular lesions,

- toxic status (refer to exposure to smoking/UV/pollution and lifestyle),

- dermatological check-up to screen for precancerous or skin cancer conditions.

Other parts of the body (hands, decolletage…) are also examined.

A combination of techniques:

- IPL, mesotherapy, radiofrequency, peeling and LED.

Repair principles:

- re-establishment of the dermis’ physiological function,

- reduction in free radicals (which cause cell damage and lesions),

- absence of side effects.

Desired result

This overall treatment plan leads to a harmonious and long-lasting result.

The procedure

Carbon dioxide is injected into the skin using a needle in order to stimulate blood flow rich in oxygen and nutrients. The session lasts about 10 minutes.

Result

The result is visible after 4 to 12 sessions. Skin is more elastic as it is better irrigated. In addition, as the fat cells are destroyed, superficial cellulite and orange-peel skin fade. To consolidate the results, it is advisable to repeat the treatment every 6 months.

The effect of this treatment is spectacular on both old and recent stretch marks.
