Before & After | Benefits | Conditions Treated | Number of Sessions | Cellulite | Stretch Marks | Side Effects

Carboxytherapy refers to the cutaneous and subcutaneous administration of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) for therapeutic purposes. This is an FDA-approved procedure that is quick, comfortable, and highly effective and has relatively no downtime. The procedure was widely used to treat ischemic vascular diseases because of the vasodilation properties of CO2.

Conditions That Carboxytherapy Can Treat

Carboxytherapy can be used to treat the eyelids, face, neck, arms, stomach, buttocks, and legs. It can also be used to treat several other conditions, including acne scars and skin laxity, skin ulcers, erection problems due to vascular disorders, wrinkles, stretch marks, and cellulite.

Benefits of Carboxytherapy

In addition to increasing oxygenated blood-flow to the region injected, carboxytherapy also increases collagen formation in the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance.

How Many Sessions Should a Patient Receive Treatment?

The number of sessions a patient should receive Carboxytherapy is dependent upon the condition it is treating. It is considered a non-surgical alternative treatment that handles many of the body-contouring benefits similar to liposuction.

Number of Sessions Recommended for Cellulite

For cellulite, six to 10 sessions are usually necessary. Of course, this number is dependent on how well the patient’s body reacts or sees benefits from the procedure.
