Carboxy Therapy Treatments

Carboxy Therapy is the new, simple and proven technique that can dramatically improve the appearance of cellulite by improving local tissue metabolism and perfusion. Treatments are rapid, comfortable and effective for a high percentage of patients.

Carboxy Therapy is a non-surgical method. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is infiltrated into the subcutaneous tissue through a tiny 30 guage needle. From the injection point, the CO2 diffuses easily into adjacent tissues. CO2 is naturally produced by the cells in our bodies every day of our life and is not harmful. It is a product of metabolism. It is transported in the blood and exhaled through the lungs.

Carboxy Therapy works in two complimentary ways. Firstly, the quite simple CO2 mechanically kills fat cells. Secondly, it also has a strong vasodilatory effect (causes dilation of blood vessels) on the capillaries in the area. Wider vessels mean bigger and stronger blood flow to the area which means more oxygen. The increase in oxygen is important because it eliminates the built up fluid from between the cells. The end result is fewer fat cells and firmer subcutaneous tissue.

Treatment usually takes about 15-20 sessions to eliminate cellulite. Each session lasts between 10 to 15 minutes. The amount of sessions allowed per week will be discussed with you at the time of consultation.

Carboxy Therapy is used for treatment of scars, under the eye puffiness and stretch marks.
