Using Carbon Dioxide for Cosmetic Treatments
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a chemical compound that is naturally produced by our bodies, and present in low quantities in the lower parts of the Earth’s atmosphere. It acts as a greenhouse gas for Earth, and is a key ingredient for photosynthesis, which is the process of converting or recycling CO2. Although this gas is harmful within confined spaces, it can be used to rejuvenate the skin. Carboxytherapy is rapidly becoming one of the most popular non-surgical skin treatments in the world and can also be feasible for facial treatments.
Carboxytherapy is designed to treat stretch marks, loose skin, and scars on the surface of the skin. It also reduces the effects of cellulite by reducing the size of the fat cells in the affected area. Facial carboxy can brighten and firm the eye contour area for a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance. It can also treat facial spider veins that are visible on the surface of the skin. Let us delve into some detail on what you can expect from carbon dioxide therapy.
What Can I Expect?
Carboxytherapy delivers deposits of CO2 underneath the surface of the skin by injecting tiny amounts to break down fat deposits and stimulate collagen production. Collagen is the main structural protein in the connective tissue of the human skin. Therefore, these cells are responsible for the texture of your skin. Elastin is responsible for the elasticity and firmness of your skin. This treatment also promotes elastin cell production for a firmer and more youthful appearance. Therefore, carboxytherapy addresses various aspects of your skin to rejuvenate and heal the surface area.
The process of carboxytherapy forces the body to react to a shortage of oxygen that is induced by the CO2 injection. The body reacts by flooding the affected area with nutrients and proteins. This initiates a healing process that can rejuvenate the specific area of skin tissue for a healthier and more youthful appearance. Facial carboxytherapy can treat fine lines, wrinkles, scarred areas, and uneven skin tone to deliver a beautiful and firm facial skin surface. It can also reduce the fat deposits around the eyes for a more contoured appearance.
