What is carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy treatment is performed by means of small injections that introduce carbon dioxide under the skin. Carbon dioxide, also known as CO2, is a natural gas that our body produces every day as part of metabolic processes. Once CO2 is injected, the body interprets that there is an oxygen deficiency and responds by increasing blood flow and oxygenation in the treated area. This promotes collagen production, improves skin elasticity and aids in tissue healing. Although some patients may notice improvements already after a first session, multiple sessions are generally recommended for optimal results. The number of sessions required may vary depending on the desired results and individual response to treatment.

What benefits can I get with carboxytherapy treatment?
The benefits of carboxytherapy are wide and varied. The main benefits are:
-Improves blood circulation thereby increasing tissue oxygenation which is crucial for healthy skin.
-Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, providing a younger and firmer looking skin and attenuating fine wrinkles.
-Improves skin tone and texture while diminishing stretch marks and lines.
-Reduces the appearance of cellulite as increased blood circulation breaks down fat deposits and eliminates toxins.
-Visibly diminishes scar marks and stretch marks.
-Smoothes skin imperfections and lines.
– Diminishes the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, especially dark circles and sagging skin.

Is carboxytherapy treatment safe?
Carboxytherapy is generally safe when performed by a qualified medical professional. Patients may experience a slight tingling and bloating sensation during the application of CO2, but these are usually temporary and disappear shortly after the end of the session, although no recovery time is required, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately. However, as with any medical treatment, the treating medical professional will evaluate and explain the possible risks and contraindications before performing this treatment.

Who is carboxytherapy suitable for?
Carboxytherapy is suitable for men and women seeking to improve the appearance of their skin, without undergoing invasive procedures. It is effective in different areas of the body, such as the face, especially in the periocular region, arms, abdomen, legs and the neckline. Carboxytherapy is a promising option for patients seeking non-surgical methods to rejuvenate their skin and reduce fine wrinkles, offering a relatively simple and safe treatment with potentially long-lasting benefits. However, it is essential to consult with a qualified medical professional to assess treatment options and ensure that this procedure is appropriate for your needs. At Clínica Escoda we have medical professionals specialized in this treatment who will be able to advise you to obtain the maximum benefits from this treatment.
