Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy, also referred to as carbon dioxide therapy or CDT is becoming more widely used within UK aesthetic clinics. The therapeutic and medical use of carbon dioxide has been used by the medical community in Europe since the 1950s.
The most common aesthetic indications for treatment with carboxytherapy are for:
- cellulite
- stretch marks (striae)
- acne scars
- skin laxity
- wrinkle reduction
Treatments are generally performed on the face, neck, arms, abdomen and thighs.
Carboxytherapy uses a series of small injections with a thin needle attached to a tube which delivers tiny quantities of medical grade carbon dioxide below the skin?s surface in a controlled flow and dose via a specially designed machine. Cellulite treatment typically requires deeper injections.
The mechanism of action is not completely understood but a simplified explanation is as follows:
- Carbon dioxide is a waste product of metabolism.
- The body recognizes it as such and will attempt to remove it.
- The excess CO2 gas after carboxytherapy therefore stimulates increased blood flow and natural healing processes.
There is no downtime associated with carboxytherapy but a course of six to eight treatments is typically recommended.
