Carboxytherapy
is the new, simple and proven technique that can dramatically improve
the appearance of cellulite by improving local tissue metabolism and perfusion.
Treatments are rapid, comfortable and effective. It is a non-surgical
method. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is infiltrated into the subcutaneous tissue
through a tiny 30G needle (0.3mm in diameter). From the injection point,
the carbon dioxide diffuses easily into adjacent tissues. Carboxytherapy
works in two complimentary ways. Firstly, and quite simply carbon dioxide
mechanically kills fat cells. Secondly, it also has a strong vasodilatory
effect 
(causes dilatation
of blood vessels) on the capillaries in the area. Wider vessels mean bigger
and stronger blood flow to the area, which means more oxygen. The increase
in oxygen is important because it eliminates the built up fluid between
the cells. The end result is less fat and firm beautiful skin. It is not
painful and there is no restriction of activities after treatment.. You
can go right back to work, or any other prior activity.
Between 15
and 20 sessions are necessary to eliminate cellulite. Usually two or even
one session per week will be enough. This will depend on the extent of
your cellulite. Each session lasts approximately 10 minutes per body area
treated. Before the treatment program ends you will have firmer, cellulite
free skin.
IS CARBON DIOXIDE TOXIC?
No. Carbon
dioxide is naturally produced by the cells in our bodies every day of
our life. It is a by product of metabolism. It is transported in the blood
and exhaled through the lungs.
