Carbon dioxide therapy called “miracle gas” CO2. The biggest breakthrough in aesthetic medicine and cosmetology since the use of Botox
Carboxytherapy is a safe, minimally-invasive clinically proven skin treatment which rejuvenates, reconditions and repairs the skin. Treating an array of skin concerns from stretch marks, thinning hair to dark circles around the eyes, cellulite, hair loss and scarring Carboxytherapy is a skin rejuvenation treatment of choice by our clients at SkinLab.
An FDA approved treatment Carboxytherapy treatment involves carbon dioxide being gently administered via micro-injections just beneath the skin’s surface stimulating your own cells to naturally produce nutrients, collagen and elastin for younger looking skin. Completely natural the treatment has no downtime and a single session can take between 15 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the area being treated. It is clinically proven to improve skin texture, contour and firmness.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Treatment is completely safe, it does not cause side effects and the amount of carbon dioxide given during the session is similar to the amount of gas produced in the body during exercise. In medicine, this gas is used for decades.
Due to the very high level of security, this treatment can be carried out regardless of the season, sunlight and ambient temperature.
The gas causes an increase in blood flow, oxygen and nutrients. Natural growth factors are stored to make up new capillaries and significantly improve microcirculation and cell renewal.
The injection of carbon dioxide is interpreted by the body as there is a lack of oxygen at the area, which will lead to increased blood flow and a strong stimulation of the production of elastin and collagen. Our skin begins to renew already after the first treatment , collagen fibers are shrinking as a result, the skin is smoothed out and more flexible , dark circles under the eyes disappear, and cellulite is reduced.
Improves water retention, and thus decrease swelling. This leads to sculpt your figure and the reduction of localized fat. The fat cells are very sensitive to the application of carbon dioxide. In the body the gas is partly converted into carbonic acid, which mechanically injured and dissolved fat cells.
Carboxytherapy doesn’t hurt. It just feels a little “weird.” Because of differences in the techniques used to treat the eyelids, stretch-marks, scars, and fat deposits, the sensation is slightly different depending upon what is actually being treated. At our clinic we use numbing cream for face and neck. But it can be applied also to the other areas to diminish any discomfort associated with the pin-prick of the needle itself. In general a slight discomfort can be felt during the sting. This is not a significant pain as the thinnest needles are used for the procedure. For the moment patient can feel slight pressure, cold or warm or tingling sensation.
When treating the eyelids, we tell our patients that the lower eyelids will feel puffy, like they were up crying all night, but that will subside once the gas is absorbed over the next five to ten minutes.
The treatment of cellulite and fatty deposits on the arms, abdomen, and legs has a unique sensation of its own. This is because a larger amount of the gas is injected directly into the offending fat deposits and allowed to expand. While the gas is expanding, you may feel some pressure in the area being treated that feels similar to when the arm is squeezed by a blood pressure cuff. The areas will feel warm and tingly for up to 24 hours after the treatment as the circulation to the area is improved.
The only real possible side effect of carboxytherapy is the potential for a bruise at the injection site. Usually, the eyelids can be treated without leaving any marks, making it a truly “no-downtime” procedure. Bruising is very common when treating the arms and legs, so carboxytherapy might not be a good idea if you plan on wearing a bikini the following week during vacation.
Carboxytherapy is the only method that affects all factors responsible for the formation of cellulite at all stages. This is the best of all existing ways of reducing cellulite.
Injection of CO2 leads to damage to the adipocytes and lipolysis increase.
This leads to loosening of the structure fibrosis and an increase in capillary flow and improve lymphatic flow . Re modeling of the skin starts from the first treatment, collagen fibers shrunk , microcirculation is improved or resume , followed by restoration and nourishment of cells, and the skin becomes smooth and elastic.
Treatments: Usually 15-20 treatments depending on the intensity of the problem. It is recommended one treatment per week. Visible results after just a few treatments.
Carboxytherapy TM device allows for precise procedure of scar or stretch marks.
Already after few treatments you can notice a visible reduction of scars and stretch marks. A flow of carbon dioxide given intradermally remodels the scar tissue and stretch marks. It begins a process of healing which in many cases leads to completely remove of the change.
Treatments: 8-10 treatments every two weeks.
Dark circles under the eyes is the result of circulatory disorders.
The injection of CO2 increases the amount of oxygen in the area to form new flexible capillaries which restores the microcirculation.
In this way shadows and bags under the eyes are reduced.
Reduction can be up to 90 %.
Treatments: Approximately 6 treatments every two-week
The injection of C02 causes the rejuvenation of the tissues and new capillary are produced. This activates the hair follicles. Hair follicles are receiving an increased amount of oxygen and nutrients , which stimulates them to increased activity, and this has a direct impact on improving the condition of the hair and stops from loosing hair.
Treatments: Approximately 10 treatments ever 2 weeks
Carboxytherapy improves water retention, and thus decreases swelling.
This leads to a sculpting of your figure and the reduction of localised fat.
The fat cells are very sensitive to the application of carbon dioxide.
The gas is partly converted into carbonic acid, which mechanically injures and dissolves fat cells .It increases lymphatic drainage and the circulation of oxygen in the area treated.
You can improve the appearance of a double chin or local excesses of fat.
Treatments: Depending on the intensity of the problem approximately 10-20 needed. One treatment two times a week.
The increase of CO2 causes local tissue remodeling , increased oxygenation and delivery of nutrients. Fibroblasts rapidly begin production of new collagen and elastin fibers.
The skin becomes firmer. This leads to a reduction in the number of fine wrinkles and increase skin tension. Perfect for falling chin or neck.
This treatment is perfect for age-related skin imperfections or regeneration of skin after pregnancy on belly area.
