Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy is a simple and proven aesthetic medicine treatment, consisting of injecting gas under the skin to reduce cellulite marks, stretch marks, localized fat, and skin laxity.
Benefits of Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy acts on various areas of the body.
It is currently used for the treatment of:

What is Carboxytherapy for?
Carboxytherapy is a reference treatment for cellulite, and also improves skin laxity in difficult areas such as arms, double chin, thighs, and knees.
It is also useful for stretch marks and scars, regardless of location. On the face, it is particularly useful for the periocular area, especially in the presence of wrinkles, laxity, or hyperpigmentation (“dark circles”).
When applied superficially, it stimulates elastin and collagen synthesis, reducing skin laxity and improving skin quality.
How Carboxytherapy Works
Carboxytherapy works through the mechanical effect of CO2 entering the tissues at high speed, mechanically destroying fat cells.
At the same time, the CO2 is replaced by oxygen from the blood, which is deposited in the tissues, causing oxygenation and activating metabolic and repair processes.
How many sessions are needed?
Carboxytherapy is performed comfortably in the clinic.
The full treatment includes about 8 to 16 sessions, up to twice a week. Each session lasts 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treated area.
Your doctor will always determine the number of sessions needed.
