Carboxy-Therapy

Carboxy-therapy

Carboxy-therapy is used in medicine to treat various pathologies, by administering sub- carbon dioxide subcutaneously and intra-dermally, as a gas.

Carboxy-therapy aids vessel-dilatation and reactivates micro-blood circulation, improves the blood flow and cutaneous metabolism as well as increasing oxygenation of tissues.

A description of the treatment

The treatment occurs in day hospital, by means of micro-injections of variable dosages. These are usually administered at the limb joints or in areas affected by cellulite, by using very thin needles.

This painless therapy is now possible thanks to modern technology. Appointments are usually once a week, and the final number of visits is usually, ‘a cycle of 6-15 appointments according to the treated area’. The treatment lasts on average between 10 and 20 minutes, and a return to everyday activity is immediate.
