Nowadays, the elimination of dark circles under the eyes or cellulite are aesthetic treatments in great demand. It is no longer enough to have just a pretty face, we are increasingly concerned about the figure of our body, allocating more and more resources to worship it. If you want to eliminate the so-called “orange peel” or dark circles under the eyes, learn more about carboxytherapy treatment.
What does carboxytherapy consist of?
The carboxitherapy process consists of the application of localized CO2 microinjections using equipment specially designed for this purpose. This equipment is in charge of controlling the gas flow rate, the dose administered and the injection time.
CO2 is injected subcutaneously by means of a fine needle to which the gas reaches through a flexible conduit connected to the equipment.
Should we take into account any type of recommendation before or after undergoing the treatment?
If the interest is focused on reducing localized fat, a better result will be achieved if carboxytherapy is accompanied by a balanced diet and physical activity.
If the objective is to treat dark circles under the eyes, it is recommended not to perform a carboxytherapy session the day before a social or work meeting, because after applying it the eyelids are slightly swollen).
The function of carboxytherapy is to improve the quality of the tissues. Its effect depends on the patient’s lifestyle habits, good nutrition and regular physical training. In addition, it is necessary to drink plenty of water, especially during the first 24-48 hours after the session and, if possible, for the duration of the treatment to remove toxins and purify the gas.
What type of patients is it aimed at?
It is recommended for people in good health who want to combat excess body fat, cellulite, body and facial aging, spider veins and reduce scars and stretch marks.
What are the results of carboxytherapy and are they definitive?
As in most of the techniques in Aesthetic Medicine, the results obtained depend on the characteristics of each person.
As to whether the effects of carboxytherapy are definitive or not, there is a diversity of opinions, since in some cases, it is not possible to completely disappear scars and stretch marks. For example, in the case of infiltrations to reduce cellulite, the results also depend on the patient’s collaboration, since the injections are not enough, but the patient must maintain a healthy and balanced diet as much as possible, as well as do moderate physical exercise frequently. Carboxytherapy facial treatment offers good results thanks to the induction of microcirculation improvement and stimulation in the formation of new collagen.
How many sessions are necessary to appreciate the results?
The results are visible from the application of the first session. As the sessions progress, the expression lines fade and the skin tone becomes firmer. The average number of sessions is eight.
