By using carboxytherapy on the face, it is possible to achieve the following results:

The principle of the carboxytherapy procedure
The subcutaneous capillaries that supply cells with oxygen tend to weaken over time. In combination with other harmful effects, this phenomenon provokes a decrease in the ability of cells to recover, which leads to a loss of elasticity and a decrease in collagen content. By the age of 30, there is a decrease in oxygen levels by 25%, and by 40 – by 50%.
Oxygen enters the body through breathing, but due to environmental influences, this level is constantly decreasing. These processes are the cause of skin aging, acne, redness, irritation and age spots.
During the carboxytherapy procedure, carbon dioxide is injected under the skin, which is perceived by the body as a lack of oxygen, resulting in a reaction in the form of increased blood circulation and the production of blood cells. Thus, more oxygen and nutrients enter the treated area of the skin, circulation improves and the process of cell renewal starts.
Due to the stimulation of collagen production, wrinkles are reduced, dark circles under the eyes and stretch marks disappear. As deeper areas of the skin are involved, collagen production becomes constant and long-lasting, which contributes to an overall facelift.
The breakdown of fat deposits is ensured by injecting gas deep under the skin, thus breaking down fat cells and stimulating blood circulation and rejuvenation.
Cellulite reduction with carboxytherapy is possible by injecting carbon dioxide deep into the lymphatic system of the thigh, which improves circulation and tissue drainage. The toxins that form the orange peel are destroyed, and collagen is produced more actively.
