Carboxytherapy in modern cosmetology - anti-age capabilities of carbon dioxide

Carboxy Therapy CO2 Gel (carboxytherapy) is one of the most effective and safe procedures in modern cosmetology. This patented technology consists of a carbon monoxide-rich non-woven mask and an activator gel. When the gel is applied to the mask, a reaction occurs, as a result of which CO2 is actively released and effectively generated deeply into the skin, which is as close as possible to the carboxytherapy procedure with the introduction of the gel under the skin invasively (using a needle and syringe). Delivery of molecular CO2 to the skin is carried out without injections or disruption of the integrity of the skin, so you do not experience pain, discomfort and there is no risk of complications. The reaction of carbon dioxide absorption by the skin lasts 20-30 minutes.

The release of carbon dioxide occurs directly on the surface of the skin as a result of a chemical reaction that occurs when a gel based on sodium bicarbonate is combined with an activator mask containing citric acid. The gel serves as a screen and prevents carbon dioxide from escaping into the atmosphere. The concentration of carbon dioxide on the surface of the skin increases, a concentration gradient arises and, as a result of passive diffusion, CO2 penetrates through the stratum corneum to the living structures of the epidermis and dermis. Dissolution occurs in the skin and the pH value shifts to the acidic side. Changes in pH trigger numerous physiological processes in tissues.

The treated area receives a powerful incentive to regenerate and renew. In response to exposure to carbon dioxide in the skin, the intensity of blood flow changes and vasodilation occurs. Increased blood circulation promotes the active removal of metabolic products from tissues, microcirculation and detoxification improve, tissues are saturated with oxygen, and cells are renewed.

Carbon dioxide helps increase oxygen levels, which are required for cellular metabolism. The moisture-holding capacity of the skin increases and the level of hydration increases. After non-invasive CO2 carboxytherapy procedures, the skin is noticeably transformed, the procedure has a powerful moisturizing and rejuvenating effect (the level of moisture in the epidermal layer of the skin is restored, which is very important for its healthy condition), premature aging is slowed down, and the antioxidant protection of cells is enhanced. Non-invasive carboxytherapy stimulates the breakdown of fats, as a result of which the thickness of subcutaneous fat tissue is effectively reduced and the double chin disappears.

Modern aesthetic cosmetology offers a huge selection of effective skin rejuvenation procedures. One of them is carboxytherapy. The method helps fight age-related changes, increases skin elasticity, eliminates wrinkles and pigmentation, and fights acne.

Carboxytherapy is an innovative method of epidermal rejuvenation based on the properties of carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide has antioxidant, antiseptic and restorative properties. That is why it has been used in medicine for more than 50 years. But in aesthetic medicine, the technique using carbon dioxide began to be used not so long ago.

OZONE THERAPY

Treatment with this technique is based on the use of ozone for medical and cosmetic purposes. The gas is administered intravenously, subcutaneously, intradermally, or applied to the skin as part of cosmetic products. When administered intravenously, the ozone-oxygen mixture is enriched with saline solution or the patient’s blood.

Ozone is an oxidizing agent with powerful disinfectant properties, which is why it has found wide application in medicine. It improves blood composition, removes toxins, kills harmful microbes, fungi and viruses. Ozone also strengthens the immune system and saturates cells with oxygen. As a result, overall well-being, mood, stress resistance, and performance improve. The liver removes toxins better after a course of procedures, the kidneys work better, the joints become healthier, and the intensity of the pain syndrome decreases.

Ozone is in demand in cosmetology because it triggers regeneration processes in the body, stimulates the production of elastin and collagen in the skin, breaks down and removes fatty tissue, helps against cellulite and allows you to correct your figure.

A course of procedures will solve the problem of cellulite, stretch marks, and sagging skin.

How does carboxytherapy work?

The main reason for the aging of the epidermis is an insufficient amount of oxygen in the tissues. The effectiveness of carboxytherapy may seem questionable, because carbon dioxide causes an even greater lack of oxygen. However, CO2 saturates the skin much more effectively than oxygen. The epidermis reacts to exposure to carbon dioxide as if it were stress, and in response increases blood circulation and stimulates the active production of collagen, which is the main building material for cells.

Carboxytherapy helps fight various cosmetic imperfections, namely: - Improves blood circulation. — Restores the protective properties of the skin. - Eliminates inflammation. — Improves the overall condition of the skin. - Fights age-related changes. - Increases elasticity. — Eliminates pigmentation. - Fights acne.

Pros and cons of non-invasive carboxytherapy

Thanks to non-injection carboxytherapy, the high-quality effect of skin rejuvenation without injections can be felt instantly, painlessly and safely. The non-invasive technique preserves the integrity of the dermis and is more comfortable.

Unlike injections, after the non-invasive carboxytherapy procedure, no recovery period is required, which allows you to immediately return to your normal lifestyle.

The procedure helps improve the overall condition of the skin and also corrects minor aesthetic imperfections. However, with pronounced age-related changes, non-invasive carboxytherapy is not effective enough as an independent method of rejuvenation. For significant changes and more lasting results, an integrated approach in combination with peeling and hardware procedures will be required.

Advantages of non-injection carboxytherapy

— Pronounced results without compromising the integrity of the skin after the first procedure. — Side effects and complications are excluded. — Suitable for any skin type. - Has no age restrictions. — There are no seasonal restrictions required for the procedure. - Completely safe and painless. - No recovery period required. — Affordable price

Disadvantages of carboxytherapy without injections

— The procedure cannot eliminate pronounced age-related changes. — To obtain a pronounced result, an integrated approach in combination with other cosmetological techniques is recommended. — To obtain a lasting result, you must undergo a course of procedures. — Non-invasive carboxytherapy is not recommended for home use without prior training in the technique.

How is the non-invasive carboxytherapy procedure performed?

After cleansing, the cosmetologist treats the skin with lotion and performs enzyme peeling. Then apply an activator gel and a saturated mask for 20 - 25 minutes. The drug is applied with a special device, due to which the active elements penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis. Thanks to carbon dioxide, blood vessels expand more intensively, saturating the skin with oxygen and essential elements.

Next, the cosmetologist removes the mask and applies SPF cream. The entire procedure of non-injection carboxytherapy takes about half an hour.

After a course of non-invasive carboxytherapy, the skin will become more sensitive, so you should avoid direct sunlight and be sure to apply sunscreen after the procedure.

Non-invasive carboxytherapy can be used as a single procedure to improve the overall condition of the skin, but to obtain lasting results, of course, it is better to complete the full course. In this case, non-injection carboxytherapy will improve blood circulation, reduce congestion, restore the protective properties of the skin and saturate it with oxygen.

For minor problems with the skin, for its general improvement, cosmetologists recommend taking a course of non-injection carboxytherapy once a year, and if more intensive intervention is necessary, the course should be repeated twice a year.

Mesotherapy or gas injections?

The risks of complications and side effects in the form of allergic reactions, edema and others are, in practice, reduced to zero, thanks to the use of sterile medical carbon dioxide and special equipment for carboxytherapy for CO2 gas injections.

The indications for prescribing “gas injections” in Krasnodar are similar to the indications for mesotherapy. So can we say that this technique will replace mesotherapy? We can say with complete confidence - never.

In the hands of a competent specialist, mesococktail injections work wonders. But to say that these two methods complement each other very well would be very correct.

At what age should carboxytherapy be done?

As we age, our skin undergoes many changes due to gravity. The sun leaves the first traces of aging on the face in the form of wrinkles around the eyes by the age of 30, by the age of 40 a double chin and sagging cheeks appear, and by the age of 50 bags under the eyes.

Previously, there was no alternative to surgical lifts and blepharoplasty. The alternative was very categorical: bags under the eyes or surgery. Non-surgical methods were extremely difficult to use. Now, with the help of the latest technologies such as carboxytherapy, laser and light techniques, anyone over the age of 30 can benefit from a mild tightening of the area around the eyes and cheeks. And the younger the patient, the better the result will be. 8 out of 10 patients experience a significant increase in skin elasticity after just two carboxytherapy procedures; the majority improve in color, texture and overall skin condition.

If today's thirty-year-olds resorted to techniques like carboxytherapy, they would age very differently than previous generations.

For those who doubt the effectiveness or safety of Botox, carboxytherapy will be an excellent way to get rid of wrinkles in the corners of the eyes.

Features of the procedure

Non-injection carboxytherapy is designed to induce blood flow to deep subcutaneous tissues, thereby stimulating their oxygenation. Vasodilation provides tone to the epidermis and deeper layers of the skin.

Paid clinics specializing in cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery perform the procedure using a precision instrument. A complex apparatus introduces carbon dioxide into the very depths of the epidermis, gradually releasing active molecules. Multi-stage administration of the drug is indicated. There are no contraindications to the sessions; those with sensitive and irritated skin can actively use them.

The specialists of our medical center have long and successfully provided carboxytherapy to patients of any age and gender. The high efficiency of the technique and its affordable cost make it possible to prolong youth for a large number of potential clients of the clinic.
