Carboxytherapy procedure will help:

• improve blood circulation;
• enhance cellular metabolism;
• restore water balance;
• saturate the skin with nutrients;
• activate collagen and elastin synthesis.

This procedure has no age limit and is shown as
young women and women with age-related skin defects.

What is carboxytherapy?

Carboxytherapy is an injection procedure, the purpose of which
is the activation of fibroblasts to stimulate collagen synthesis
and elastin. Well known is the fact that after a certain
age in the skin decreases the production of collagen and elastin, and
the quality of the produced protein changes completely. In our
In the body, the process of synthesis and breakdown of collagen has a certain
cyclical. At a young age, damaged collagen
freely replaced by new elastic protein. Over the years however
new collagen is synthesized less and less, and everything becomes old
more. Old collagen is an inelastic amorphous protein with
reduced mechanical strength. Such collagen fibers lose
their orderly structure, they stretch and sag. AT
As a result, the person loses volume and elasticity.

What reduces collagen synthesis and causes damage to its fibers?
There are many reasons. But the main reason is the impact.

fatty layer.

In order to understand the essence of the rejuvenating effect of carbon dioxide
gas, you need to remember the laws of physiology, which state that
high levels of carbon dioxide in the tissues cause stress in
the body. This process is called hypercapnia (increased
carbon dioxide content). What causes stressful situations in
living organisms? Mobilization of all its processes, functions and systems

a system that can handle stress and its negative
the consequences of their own resources. With hypercapnia
the circulatory system begins to work in emergency mode, trying
expand blood flow to cells, intensively nourishing them with oxygen
(since oxygen is delivered to cells through the bloodstream). WITH
using oxygen produces the necessary for the work of cells and
whole body energy. After all, it is oxidatively –
oxygen reduction reactions reproduce
universal “energy currency” – a molecule
adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the main
energy carrier in cells.

This principle is based on the method of carboxytherapy, which
involves the introduction under the skin of liquid carbon dioxide in
a certain concentration.

Since a local state occurs at the injection site
hypercapnia, it causes vasodilation, improvement
blood circulation, blood flow with oxygen, improvement of exchange
processes and the withdrawal of waste products trapped in the cells.

The result is:

• enhanced cell regeneration;
• fat burning;
• enhanced collagen and elastin synthesis;
• reduction of inflammatory processes in the skin.

All positive processes occur due to the introduction into the skin.
carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide that is used when

called gas injections or contained in preparations for
application to the surface of the skin.

The principle of the procedure and its types

Carboxytherapy procedure involves the introduction under the skin
medicinal carbon dioxide (CO2), which is used as in
gas injections, and as part of various masks and gels. Exist
several treatments that are carbon-based

painful, especially for women with thin, sensitive skin.
With a high pain threshold, injections can be replaced with masks and gels,
containing carbon dioxide.

The mechanism of action of the drug on the basis of carbon dioxide

The use of carbon dioxide has many advantages.
The procedure has the following effects on the skin:

• fat cells break down in the extracellular
  liquids;
• carbon dioxide contributes to the removal from the body
  toxins and harmful substances;
• improves skin circulation;
• cells are saturated with oxygen;
• improves tissue regeneration;
• activated synthesis of collagen and elastin.

The advantage of carboxytherapy

The main advantage of the method is the absence of all
patient allergic reaction to carbon dioxide. This is due
the fact that CO2 is a well-known metabolite (a product
metabolism of any compounds), which instantly decomposes
in the human body. Therefore, for a person are not afraid even
very high doses of CO2, because any amount of it instantly
splits without causing any harm to the body.

Another advantage is the fact that CO2 is introduced into
body in liquid form. Also the process of carboxytherapy
significantly reduces the risk of infection of the skin and reduces it
to a minimum. This fact is due to the fact that the drug is in
safe liquid form, and the role of the needle performs injection
the gun possessing bactericidal properties.

Another big advantage is atraumatic and
universality of the method. Carboxytherapy can be performed on any
skin type and for any age category. It is this therapy
allows you to effectively eliminate the root cause of striae formation and
restore collagen fibers.

and are shown to patients of all age categories, before their

when administering injections or using masks based on
carbon dioxide can occur unexpected individual
reactions, the physician must consider the contraindications for
procedures and possible negative effects. In addition, there are a number
diseases, in the presence of which the procedure
contraindicated. This procedure has the following
contraindications:

• pregnancy and lactation;
• stages of exacerbation of chronic and acute diseases;
• hypertension;
• anemia;
• myocardial infarction;
• cardiovascular diseases;
• epilepsy;
• abnormal liver function;
• renal failure.

How to carry out the procedure

The procedure is performed only by a certified mesotherapist in
medical institution. For the procedure of carboxytherapy
use special medical carbon dioxide high
purification, which for therapeutic purposes can be administered in doses not
exceeding 1000 cm3. Gas is introduced using the Carboxy-Pan apparatus,
from where it passes through special tubes after passing
bactericidal filter. Dosage, concentration, pressure and location
introduction is calculated in each individual case in
depending on the tasks.

swelling of the skin at the injection site is observed, but this

The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the processed

As a rule, the course of treatment is on average from 4-5 to 10 -12

compared to injections and to achieve the desired effect
need to hold a large number of sessions.

Possible side effects

Although the procedure is practically safe,
there is still the possibility of side effects and
negative reactions:

• swollen at the injection site
  plots;
• bruising and bruising in case of small punctures
  vessels for violations of the procedure;
• a crepitating effect (cracking of the skin) may occur;
• severe redness at the injection sites.

To reduce side effects after the procedure should not
expose the treated area to water and avoid sharp
temperature variations over several days.
