Introduction to Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin by injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) into targeted areas. This procedure enhances blood circulation and boosts oxygen supply, which helps to break down fat cells and stimulate collagen production. The result is improved skin texture, elasticity, and tone. Carboxytherapy is particularly effective for reducing cellulite, stretch marks, and scars, making it a versatile treatment for overall skin rejuvenation in Phoenix and Scottsdale.
How Does Carboxytherapy Work?
Carboxytherapy involves injecting small amounts of CO2 just beneath the skin. The carbon dioxide causes the blood vessels to dilate, which increases oxygen flow and stimulates collagen production. This process helps break down fat deposits and tightens the skin, improving its texture and reducing sagging. Additionally, the increased oxygenation promotes healthier, more youthful-looking skin by enhancing elasticity and smoothing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite. It’s a minimally invasive procedure with little downtime, making it an ideal choice for patients seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
Conditions Treated by Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy is effective for treating a wide range of skin concerns across the body, including intimate areas like the vulva and vagina. This procedure helps improve skin tone, elasticity, and collagen production. Here are the key areas treated:
- Face and Eyelids: Reduces dark under-eye circles and fine lines.
- Neck: Tightens loose skin.
- Arms: Smooths cellulite and stretch marks.
- Buttocks: Improves cellulite and contour.
- Stomach: Treats stretch marks and skin laxity.
- Legs: Reduces cellulite.
- Vulva and Vagina: Enhances skin elasticity and improves tissue tone for a rejuvenated appearance.
