Carboxytherapy – a technique for solving a wide range of aesthetic problems: age syndrome, hyperpigmentation, problem skin. Although this method is simple, its effect, when combined with conventional acne medication, gives impressive results. Professor Protsenko Tatyana Vitalievna shared with estet-portal.com the intricacies of such treatment.
How much is the demand for carboxytherapy in the treatment of acne
Carboxytherapy – this is one of the relatively new technologies that have recently become available to all citizens of our country. It has a very interesting, in my opinion, even a unique mechanism of action, since it allows not aggressively, but intensively, to solve the issues of natural exfoliation of the surface layers of the skin, and not just the skin. It allows you to remove those clogged areas of the skin appendages that give it such an unaesthetic appearance, uneven relief, and all this stimulates the skin to renew itself, to natural, normal functioning. Therefore, of course, the idea itself may not be new, but in Ukraine it appeared relatively recently and is certainly very relevant.
In what cases is carboxytherapy undesirable
If there are active manifestations of herpes (lichen simplex on the lips, around the red border of the lips or other localization), allergic dermatoses (eczema, allergic or contact dermatitis), infectious dermatoses (fungal, staphylo- or streptoderma, etc.). In other words, if there is “something different from the norm” on the skin, a diagnosis must be made, which determines all subsequent tactics.
How urgent is the problem of acne
The problem of acne is relevant for both men and women, and for adolescents, and for adults, it is especially relevant for those who want to maintain their external attractiveness for many years to come. A lot of all kinds of technologies appear not only on the Ukrainian, but also on the world market, which do not always give the results that the patient wants to get from us.
What are the advantages of carboxytherapy over other methods in the fight against acne
Firstly, the technology itself involves several stages - not only exfoliation, but also oxygenation, and, most importantly, remodeling of skin functioning. It is possible to clean only the surface layers, but it is very important to start the process of natural aeration, and for this, all stages of skin renewal must be affected, and carboxytherapy gives us such opportunities.
From what age is carboxytherapy indicated for acne
The choice of treatment tactics and the use of carboxytherapy to a greater extent determines not the patient's age, but the condition of the skin and the severity of acne. Carboxytherapy can significantly increase the effectiveness of subsequent peeling procedures, potentiate the action of other anti-acne agents (benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, etc.), and intensify skin regeneration/renewal processes. The use of carboxytherapy in programs for the preventive management of patients with acne is especially justified, as it can contribute to a more stable and lasting effect, preventing the development of post-acne phenomena.
Is carboxytherapy alone sufficient for the management of individuals with acne
Definitely – no. Carboxytherapy increases the possibilities of the therapeutic effect of subsequent products or technologies (ANA, peels, retinoids, etc.) and significantly improves the aesthetic appearance of the skin.
Is it possible to combine carboxytherapy with mesotherapy for papulopustular acne
Categorically – no. Papulo-pustular form of acne – it is a medical problem that requires treatment in accordance with accepted protocols and standards of patient management, which is mandatory for all practitioners, regardless of where they work – in public or private institutions. Mesotherapy in these cases can provoke worsening of acne. But after the end of drug therapy for the rehabilitation of the skin, non-invasive effects are more indicated, where the "working" place is taken by carboxytherapy.
Combining carboxytherapy and retinoids: what are the features of treatment
Retinoids – this is a niche in acne treatment, it is the gold standard of treatment. When we talk about those initial manifestations of acne or about those consequences that remain after drug therapy, it is very important to correctly prescribe topical retinoids and it is extremely important to step-by-step, stepwise, conscious use of various concentrations, various forms of retinoids. Also an important aspect is the addition of such treatment with an exfoliating effect.
Carboxytherapy from Medicare and stepwise application of retinoids – these are novelties in the cosmetology market, which must be correctly prescribed in order to obtain good results.
