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
Carboxytherapy stimulates the lymphatic system, purifies and helps eliminate toxins, stimulating fibroblasts for the production of collagen and elastin.
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.
