Carboxytherapy is a revolution in cosmetology.
Greetings to the readers of my page! Today I want to share an article that can give many people hope to restore youthful skin. Surely many of you have heard about carboxytherapy, and for those who have not heard, I think it will be interesting to know about it. Perhaps someone has already tried carboxytherapy on themselves and would be grateful to share their impressions.
Carboxy therapy is a procedure that is called a breakthrough in the beauty industry since Botox. Carboxytherapy has been used for 70 years in medical practice and about 15 years in aesthetic medicine. This is one of the procedures that does not require intervention in the body and at the same time renews, heals the skin, smooths out wrinkles, lightens dark circles under the eyes, and corrects the oval of the face. Moreover, carboxytherapy is used to combat cellulite and fat deposits, rejuvenate the décolleté, arms and baldness.
After 35 years, a person’s skin protein structure begins to change and many are faced with the problem that cosmetic products stop working: wrinkles and signs of skin aging appear on the face.
Almost 90% of the Russian cosmetics market is cosmetics containing petrochemical products. With regular use of this type of cosmetics, the excretory function of the skin is suppressed, often leading to such consequences as an allergic reaction, rash, acne, etc.
Advertising is replete with announcements about lasers, fillers and other injection methods, which, alas, very often have side effects. And it’s not just about the qualifications of the doctors who prescribe these methods - a cosmetologist is also a doctor only for the skin. Even if a person has enough funds for all the newfangled procedures, numerous expensive spas and massages according to various Thai, Chinese, Tibetan practices, this does not mean that this person will not age in face and body, BUT it is certainly possible to postpone this moment. Look at the faces of aging stars; they are not always doing well, but they can afford the best doctors and the latest drugs. There is no guarantee that everything will always go well and the result will please you. And if not? What then? What's next?
The solution has long been invented and developed by Japanese scientists. The introduction of carbon dioxide into cosmetics in combination with nanotechnology gives excellent results in skin restoration and rejuvenation. Carboxytherapy is an effective and safe method of skin rejuvenation. Natural processes were taken as a basis: caves with carbon dioxide in the Czech Republic, Germany, Japan, where people have long noticed excellent results on the skin. The developed face masks are applied for 15-30 minutes. Carbon dioxide gas is formed in the gel after mixing with the granules. Its concentration increases and is effectively absorbed into the skin, it begins to enter the blood vessels, releasing oxygen from hemoglobin. Metabolism accelerates and the skin is revitalized. The supply of oxygen is regulated by carbon dioxide - this soft but complex mechanism is one of the amazing mysteries of life. Skin cells are activated by the released oxygen and themselves produce ingredients that protect skin cells such as amino acids, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, etc. The natural functions of the skin are activated, and all types of skin disorders (including wrinkles) can be eliminated at the cellular level. Masks give immediate and long-lasting results even after the first procedure.
The information is provided in more detail by Alexandra Livshits, who practices the use of this method in one of the beauty salons. A journalist asks questions for a women's magazine and I bring you the article in an abbreviated form, but preserving the original source as much as possible.
As we age, our blood vessels weaken. This is due to a number of factors: poor environment, sedentary lifestyle, low activity. As a result, the vessels poorly allow blood to pass through, carrying oxygen and nutrients to each cell of the body. The consequence is malfunctions at the cellular level, premature aging, external and internal fatigue.
The injected carbon dioxide is completely eliminated from the body through the kidneys and lungs within 30 minutes, but active work is already in full swing at the site of gas injection. Quickly reacting to a very high concentration of carbon dioxide, the body increases blood and lymph circulation at the injection site, metabolic processes accelerate, and toxins and wastes are actively removed. In medicine, this technique has been used for several decades to treat diabetic angiopathy, trophic ulcers, psoriasis, joint and muscle pain. The effect of carboxytherapy is primarily due to improved blood circulation and increased oxygen supply to tissues. What is significant is that during the procedure we do not introduce a substance “foreign” to the body. And on a purely physical level we can explain the prolonged effect of carbon dioxide, or rather the processes caused by its introduction.
First question to Alexandra: What range of problems does carboxytherapy cover in cosmetology?
Of course, this is primarily expressed in skin rejuvenation procedures. The introduction of carbon dioxide stimulates the activity of fibroblasts - cells that produce the building protein of the skin - collagen. As a result, the fine network of wrinkles disappears and the skin becomes more elastic.
The procedure cannot be compared with plastic surgery. Carboxytherapy is like cleansing the skin from the inside, charging the cells. You should not expect a clear effect of rejuvenation and lifting. But carboxytherapy perfectly eliminates congestion associated with poor circulation. The complexion improves, pigmentation decreases, bruises and bags under the eyes disappear, eyebrows rise. Carboxytherapy is also prescribed after liposuction. After all, we know that liposuction leaves the body sculpted. And carboxytherapy helps correct (even out) this relief.
More details about the procedure itself:
Carboxy therapy is a dosed injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) intradermally or subcutaneously for preventive and therapeutic purposes. During the procedure, the first thing we do with the patient is to identify the problems that we will work with. The procedure itself does not take much time and does not require long-term rehabilitation or pain relief. CO2 is injected under the skin using needles (from 32G to 25G) to varying depths, depending on the aesthetic pathology. For example, by 1 mm working to reduce the elasticity of the skin of the face and neck. And by 4 mm in the treatment of cellulite. Carboxytherapy requires a course. The frequency of sessions is on average one to two sessions per week. After the course, we do maintenance procedures once every two months.
Another question: Besides cosmetology, what medicinal properties are carboxytherapy valuable for?
Due to the effect on the vasomotor center of the medulla oblongata, blood is redistributed in the body, peripheral vessels dilate, venous outflow is normalized, and anaerobic energy metabolism is mobilized. The procedure enhances metabolism in the brain, increases mental performance, and reduces the excitability of the nervous system. It also stimulates the motility of the gastrointestinal tract. Carboxytherapy is actively used in the treatment of psoriasis and allergic dermatosis.
Third question: How does carboxytherapy work with cellulite?
Cellulite is a focal fibrous-dystrophic change in the subcutaneous fatty tissue of the skin. Blood circulation is impaired; when microcirculation deteriorates, the tissue ceases to receive sufficient nutrition. As a result, the accumulation of toxins, water and fats, the appearance of edema, nodules and retraction of the skin and, as a result, fibrous compaction of the connective tissue (“orange peel”). CO2 makes this situation reversible by injection into the affected areas. But we must understand that the fight against cellulite and fat deposits is, first of all, a comprehensive approach, which should include proper nutrition and exercise.
Fourth question: What procedures can and should be combined with carboxytherapy?
With almost everyone, the main thing is to be consistent. I am a supporter of organized cosmetology. I don't like doing procedures one after another. If you do everything correctly and slowly, you can keep your skin young and healthy for a long time. I recommend starting with carboxytherapy, and after the course, evaluate whether you need injections, laser techniques, or simply peeling and nourishing the skin.
Another important area of carboxytherapy is a method of combating hair loss.
Hair is an indicator of human health. Under the influence of stress, unbalanced nutrition, hormonal imbalances and many other reasons, pathological hair loss (alopecia) begins. The life cycle of hair is shortened and hair growth enters a resting phase. Then atrophy of the hair follicles occurs, and the hair is irrevocably “lost.” The goal of carboxytherapy is to “wake up” dormant follicles. After introducing carbon dioxide into the problem area, blood supply and nutrition to the hair follicles increases. Of course, most likely the course of procedures can be lengthy and sometimes painful. But as a result, hair growth resumes.
What side effects can there be from the procedure?
1. moderate redness, burning and pain at the injection site (during injection and some time after the procedure); 2. local edema or swelling that disappears spontaneously; 3. subcutaneous crepitation (crackling) for several minutes after deep injection of carbon dioxide; 4. subcutaneous bruising; 5. the occurrence of herpetic rashes.
During the 70-year history of Carboxy therapy (carboxytherapy), including almost 10 years of its use in the practice of aesthetic medicine, no serious side effects have been noted.
Contraindications to the procedure are:
inflammatory process in the injection area pregnancy and lactation period It is not recommended to wash the injection site for 6 hours, swim and visit the sauna and pool, overheat or supercool the injection site until the swelling subsides and the redness disappears
It is worth noting that, like many anti-aging cosmetic procedures, carboxytherapy is best performed in the cold season. This spring is a little late and gives us a chance to take advantage of the situation and look much younger and more attractive by the beach season.
And let me give you a little advice: Don’t hesitate to ask the cosmetologist for a license to perform this procedure, for higher medical education and experience with this technique. It would be nice to talk with regular clients of this salon and hear sincere feedback about the work of the specialist with whom you are going to take a course of therapy. As a rule, in decent salons, over a cup of tea or coffee while waiting for the appointed time, frank conversations are held about the work of “wizards”. If you are offered such therapy for any promotion or discount, respond with a decisive refusal. Perhaps there is a good reason for this, or they will additionally impose cosmetic preparations with an “amazing effect”. The procedure is in high demand and no salon will simply offer such a service at a discount at a loss.
