Carboxytherapy itself means the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) for therapeutic purposes.
The same term can indicate:
The use of CO2 transcutaneously by external contact with the skin.
The administration of CO2 by subcutaneous injections controlled by a patented device.
MECHANISMS OF ACTION AND EFFECT
HOW DOES CARBOXYTHERAPY WORK PHYSIOLOGICALLY?
ADIPOSE TISSUE
CO2 activates lipolysis and lipoclasis of the adipocyte membrane as a secondary effect.
MICROCIRCULATION
Powerful vosodilation.
An increase in oxygen release at the tissue level (Bohr effect).
Neo-angiogenesis.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
DERMIS
Stimulation of collagen synthesis, which led to the improvement of skin tone and elasticity.
THE TREATMENT
Carboxytherapy is NOT just a subcutaneous administration of carbon dioxide in gaseous form, but rather a method whose safety and effectiveness are guaranteed by multiple factors.
PRECAUTIONS
The importance of the medical examination and a correct diagnosis
The use of a safe and certified equipment
A correct execution technique and specific protocols
DURING THE SESSION
Subcutaneous “crackling” sensation
Bruising
Pain at the injection site
CARBOXYTHERAPY SESSION
DURATION: the duration of a session varies from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the pathology to be treated
FREQUENCY: a cycle varies from 8 to 15 sessions (to be assessed on a case-by-case basis) once or twice a week
A SAFE THERAPY
Carbon dioxide is produced naturally by our body during breathing and is disposed at a physiological level.
A patented system to control CO2 gas flow within the tissue.
A sterility chain through a series of anti-spore filters which purify the CO2 from possible contaminants.
