Carboxytherapy at the Face and Body Institute Cracow

Carboxytherapy is a rightly famous, since very effective method of working with the skin and the fat layer. Carboxytherapy simply consists in administering CO2 – carbon dioxide into an appropriate skin layer.
The gas should have appropriate parameters (tissue penetration time), appropriate temperature, and it should be administered in a specific amount (volume). CO2 administration causes a number of physiological effects:

• ejecting large amounts of oxygen into the space outside of the blood vessels, which is directly transported into the cells present there
• an increase in the tissue temperature, which highly stimulates metabolism
• stimulating the production of new blood vessels, which results in a better tissue blood/nutrient supply

Carboxytherapy constitutes a very strong support for all treatment types:

• rejuvenating
• fat tissue reduction
• stretch marks reduction

We often combine it with other methods:

• acoustic/blast wave
• mesotherapy
• chemical peels (chemical resurfacing)

This procedure produces visible effects in a possibly short time.
