As you know, carbon dioxide is a product of oxygen processing by the lungs. But a real breakthrough in medicine and cosmetology has been its use for the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and skin rejuvenation. The advantage of this method is minimal intrusion into the body's natural processes in combination with a quick, long and impressive positive effect.
What is Carboxytherapy?
The procedure consists in injecting heated carbon dioxide under the skin. The depth of the injection is determined depending on the tasks and the degree of the problem being solved.
It is worth noting that injections of carbon dioxide are produced strictly in biologically active points, and not over the entire surface of the treated area. The necessary zones are determined on the basis of a pre-compiled acupuncture card according to the rules of acupuncture.
How does carboxytherapy work?
During the aging of the body, the vessels become weaker, their walls become less elastic and firm, the inner surface becomes clogged, covered with cholesterol plaques. As a consequence, blood flow and internal organs deteriorate, tissues do not receive enough nutrients, vitamins, and most importantly oxygen.
The introduction of carbon dioxide under the skin artificially increases the oxygen starvation of cells, as it causes a strong and short-term stress in the area of the injection. The body reacts to this immediately by speeding up metabolic processes, increasing blood flow, lymph flow to tissues and the fastest elimination of toxins. Already in 5-7 minutes carbon dioxide begins to be excreted through the lungs and kidneys, after half an hour the gas disappears completely. The effect produced by injection persists for a long time, the body continues to work in intensive regeneration mode for another 3 weeks, after which the procedure of carboxytherapy can be repeated.
The most important advantage of this method is that no foreign, artificial or toxic substances are introduced into the body. The processes of renewal are provoked in an absolutely natural way.
What is the use of carboxytherapy?
First of all, the procedure is used to rejuvenate the skin, as it activates the activity of cells called fibroblasts, which produce collagen. As a result, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin in the areas of impact becomes more elastic, more elastic.
In addition, injections of heated carbon dioxide perfectly cope with impaired blood circulation and associated stagnant phenomena:
- swelling around the eyes;
- skin pigmentation ;
- uneven complexion;
- sagging skin of the eyelids;
- deterioration of the face relief.
Nevertheless, do not expect from the carboxytherapy of magical results comparable to plastic surgery. The method is intended for internal updating of tissues, skin regeneration at the cellular level.
Recently, injections of carbon dioxide are actively used in the treatment of cellulite and obesity. Course from
