FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS CARBOXYTHERAPY TREATMENT?
Carboxytherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses carbon dioxide gas injections to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and improve skin texture.
HOW DOES CARBOXYTHERAPY TREATMENT WORK?
During the treatment, a small needle is used to inject a small amount of carbon dioxide gas into the treatment area. This causes the blood vessels to dilate, improving blood flow and oxygenation to the area, which can help break down fat cells and improve skin texture.
IS CARBOXYTHERAPY TREATMENT PAINFUL?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. The needle used to inject the carbon dioxide gas is very small, and a topical numbing cream can be used to minimize any discomfort.
WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY CAN BE TREATED WITH CARBOXYTHERAPY?
Carboxytherapy can be used to treat stretch marks and improve skin texture in many areas of the body, including the thighs, buttocks, stomach, and arms.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
The number of treatments needed depends on the severity of the case and the desired results. Typically, patients require between 6-10 treatments, spaced 1-2 weeks apart.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own within a few days.
IS CARBOXYTHERAPY TREATMENT SAFE?
Carboxytherapy is a safe and FDA-approved cosmetic treatment when performed by a qualified and experienced provider.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM CARBOXYTHERAPY TREATMENT?
Patients can expect to see a reduction in the appearance of stretch marks and improved skin texture. The results are long-lasting, but maintenance treatments may be required to maintain the results.
