How does Carboxytherapy work?
The work of carboxytherapy begins with the injection of small amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) under the skin. By doing this, the body thinks that its oxygen has decreased and tries to send oxygen and nutrients to the injected area to compensate for the deficiency. This helps to improve blood circulation and regenerate cells in that area. Even increasing oxygen concentration can improve water retention or edema.
How many Carboxytherapy sessions do I need?
We have always said that the answer to this question is given after examining and analyzing your skin; Because the amount of need your facial skin has and the number of results it gives is different from another person. But what is usually seen among clients is getting results after 6 to 10 sessions. Each skin carboxytherapy session lasts about 20 minutes and we suggest that these sessions be done every week or every two weeks. As mentioned before, the combination of skin Carboxytherapy with other methods such as skin RF will have a much better result.
The point that you should pay attention to is that by stopping the process of any skin treatment, your skin problems may return to the original state or not have the initial improvement. This is why we suggest that after completing your treatment process with each of the skin services, you should continue your skin care this time with longer intervals.
Disadvantages of Carboxytherapy
Although carboxytherapy is a minimally invasive method, it is a safe method and no serious complications have been reported for it. Below are just the things that some of the clients mentioned.
- Possibility of burning at the injection site
- Possible bruising at the injection site
- The possibility of feeling hot
- The possibility of a tingling sensation on the skin
The mentioned side effects usually disappear within two days and in some cases and in very sensitive skin, it will last up to a week.
Does Carboxytherapy hurt?
First, you should note that the needle used for skin carboxytherapy has a very thin head, which reduces pain and discomfort. In addition, the doctor or operator usually uses local anesthesia to reduce discomfort in the injection area. Generally, the injection of carbon dioxide gas is done under the skin, and the nerves in that area are not to the extent that they can cause you severe pain. For this reason, some people do not feel any burning.
Care after Carboxy
پسAfter any care you do for your skin, it is necessary to observe some things. Because after performing skin care, your skin becomes more sensitive and not complying with some requirements such as using sunscreen may destroy or reduce the effects of the service you received or in some cases may cause other skin problems. So be careful in taking care of your skin after treatment. After skin carboxytherapy, it is necessary to pay attention to the following:
- Use sunscreen especially if you are exposed to direct sunlight.
- If your home or workplace is bright, use a suitable sunscreen.
- Do not use cosmetics in the injected area for a day.
- Do not use your skin care products for two days without a doctor’s or beauty therapist’s order.
- Do not shower until the next day.
How long does Carboxy last?
The answer to this question depends on you. The amount of care you take for your skin after the treatment, as well as the continuation of the treatment process until you get the necessary result, has a great impact on the durability of the effect of Carboxy. Treatment with carboxytherapy is usually permanent if a trigger does not return your skin problem. But keep in mind that without having a skin care routine, any problem may arise for your skin.
