What Are the Benefits of Carboxytherapy?
One benefit of carboxytherapy is a decrease in cellulite, or fat underneath the skin that gives it a lumpy appearance.1 This treatment can also be used to help sculpt the body by removing excess fat in specific areas. Injecting carbon dioxide into these areas decreases the number of fat cells and causes the skin to tighten. Carboxytherapy is often used along with liposuction for body contouring (removing excess skin and fat from the body).
Carboxytherapy can also reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Injection of carbon dioxide stimulates cells called fibroblasts that make collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, These substances decrease the size of your stretch marks and can help them fade, so they match your skin tone more closely.
Carboxytherapy can treat dark circles under the eyes, which often occur when blood pools under the lower eyelid. Gas injection improves blood circulation by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels and dilating (expanding) existing blood vessels.
Carboxytherapy is also used with other treatments to help heal chronic wounds.
It can also be used to help treat alopecia(an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss).
