Benefits of Carboxytherapy Cellulite Reduction in Santa monica
Natural Product
Our bodies produce CO2 as a natural part of breathing.
Skin Rejuvenation
Carboxytherapy treats cellulite and other skin related issues for lasting results.
Safe Treatment
Currently, there are no known side effects to carboxytherapy.
Consultation
Our process begins with a one-on-one consultation with one of our licensed Younique providers. During this personal meeting, we discuss your concerns, medical history, and goals for surgery. We also take a look at the presence of cellulite in the treatment area. If we determine that cellulite reduction in Santa Monica is a perfect fit for you, we can schedule your treatment.
Treatment
To start, your Younique provider will cleanse and sterilize the injection site. Next, using a 30G mesoatherapy needle, they will gently inject CO2 gas beneath the skin for either subcutaneous or intraderminc positioning. It’s possible you may feel slight processing during this process, but most patients find the procedure painless.
Recovery
You may experience a warmth and tingling sensation in the treatment area for up to 24 hours post treatment. Improved circulation and blood flow causing this condition. This shouldn’t hinder you from continuing your daily routine as normal. There may be some bruising at the injection site(s) and usually clears up within 7 to 10 days. Avoid submerging the area in water for 24 hours following the procedure; lukewarm showering is fine.

Why would my circulation benefit from carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy helps address circulation issues, especially when subcutaneous capillaries become dormant as we age. This, coupled with stresses and other factors—especially living in a large city such as Santa Monica—limits the ability of cells to regrow and function properly. The result is that the skin gradually loses its elasticity and collagen.
When we breathe in oxygen, our body first uses it for the major organ health and function before moving on to the skin. When the skin lacks oxygen, it is more susceptible to aging and skin problems.
As carboxytherapy increases blood flow to a treatment area, the increased oxygen concentration also improves the area’s water retention. This increased blood flow also stimulates collagen, which softens fine wrinkles and reduces dark circles under the eyes.
The Food and Drug Administration in the US has approved this safe and effective minimally invasive procedure.
If carboxytherapy helps with cellulite, is it reducing fat?
No, our focus for using carboxytherapy is not to reduce fat where cellulite is showing. However, clinical studies have shown that carboxytherapy can create modest fat reduction in treatment areas! There is still research required to achieve long-term results, but carboxytherapy has been proven to cause a minor, temporary reduction in fat in the injection areas—a nice bonus when combating the appearance of cellulite.
