We do not only breathe in oxygen, but carbon dioxide is also in the air too! It is invisible and has no odour, and most important: it is non toxic!

Carboxy Therapy consists of microinjections of small amounts of Carbon Dioxide (C02) beneath your skin, just under its surface, by means of very thin needles. This gas is more soluble than oxygen, twenty times in fact, so it spreads fast.

This gas spreads around surrounding tissues and makes your blood vessels dilate. As a result, blood starts flowing faster and brings lots of extra oxygen and nutrients to the area which is being treated. Wider vessels mean a stronger blood flow, which brings a rush of oxygen and nutrients to the treated area. Oxygen generates hydrogen carbonate which in turn makes the pH value in the red blood cells go down, and so more oxygen is released. (Bohr effect),.As tissue cells absorb more oxygen, cell metabolism accelerates producing a self-healing effect of the skin. Therefore the tissue regeneration process gets activated.

This treatment will immediately provide you with a more youthful look. It is a rejuvenation treatment. Who does not want to look younger? Or have smoother skin? It stimulates collagen production which in turn makes your skin thicker, it restores the condition of your skin. You get younger firm skin as your circulation will get better. It reduces laughing lines and improves face contour, pores on your face get smaller. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles It gets rid of cellulite as it breaks down fatty deposits. The gas goes directly to fat cells which burst and get eliminated with urine.

If you have stretch marks, scars or other nasty marks, the formation of new collagen will thicken your skin, rebuild the matrix and improve the appearance of the striae. You will not have any more dark circles around your eyes, no more boggy blue shades. Carboxy therapy improves the capillary network of your lower eyelids, carboxy therapy increases dermal collagen layer of the eyelid skin. You can also treat other areas in your body: buttocks, legs, arms, and belly. You can get non-surgical fat sculpting effect on your face and body.

Within five minutes of the session, the gas will be totally reabsorbed so the area which has been treated will return to normal at once.
Do not immerse the area in water immediately after therapy. Wait at least four hours.
Continue wearing your sunscreen and drink abundant water.
Get in touch with a therapist in the clinic if you are concerned about the treatment.
A bruise at the injection place can appear when you get your legs or arms treated so you´d better get sessions in winter!

This idea of using carbon dioxide is not new. It goes back to the 1830s in France. In the royal spas, People who suffered from bad circulation and had injuries or serious wounds used to attend royal spas and were bathed in waters rich in carbon dioxide to help the process of healing.
Danish doctor Christian Bohr developed this idea which was reported first in 1904, he proved carbon dioxide is the key to make our body think we need oxygen so our red blood cells will produce a surge of oxygen to make up the deficit. (Bohr’s effect)
Present
After assessing the result of the therapy in Europe, Japan developed the same principle with excellent results, at present no injections are used. The same results with no needles!

Remember: Carboxy Therapy is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment approved by the FDA.
