Miami CarboxyTherapy Treatments

Skin tightening and skin improvement is a constant effort, and finding ways to rejuvenate and invigorate your skin is essential. To get the skin, body, and flawless look you’ve always wanted, carboxytherapy treatments at our Miami clinic work to infuse natural gas and collagen into your body. This triggers natural responses in your body that help firm and smooth your skin. Non-surgical, long-lasting, and with low-to-no recovery, it’s an ideal option for getting the skin you want.

What is Carboxytherapy Treatment?

Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical procedure that infuses CO2 (carbon dioxide) gas below the skin through a thin needle. Available at our clinic in Miami, this skin tightening, CO2 therapy involves applying gas subcutaneously that improves circulation, skin elasticity, and fine lines and wrinkles. Your body naturally produces CO2, so injecting it below the skin gives it an extra boost to help it repair and strengthen itself.

Carboxytherapy has also been shown to aid with collagen repair and the destruction of fatty deposits, so physicians often recommend carboxytherapy for cellulite.

The result of carboxytherapy treatment at our Miami clinic is firmer, tighter skin without ever having to have surgery. Instead, the skin tightens naturally, giving you an effortlessly smooth look.

Carboxytherapy Uses

Carboxytherapy increases blood flow, makes skin more elastic and supple, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. It’s commonly used on the:

Face
Eyelids
Neck
Stomach
Arms
Legs
Buttocks

Some cutting-edge practices have even begun to use carboxytherapy to help with acute arthritis, Raynaud’s syndrome, and erectile dysfunction.

Carboxytherapy Before and After

The difference in carboxytherapy before and after lies in the appearance of the skin, from rolls, wrinkles, and general flabbiness. Skin that seemed to sag or droop off the body reasserts its smoothness, forming firm planes over the body’s musculature. This makes carboxytherapy before and after on the stomach especially notable because it can give the stomach a much firmer appearance.

Carboxytherapy under eyes before and after effects create a stunningly smooth effect, reducing fine lines and wrinkles until they seem to disappear. The firming and lifting result of the non-surgical procedure comes from increased elasticity and creates a more youthful look.

When to Expect Results from Carboxytherapy At Our Miami Clinic

Carboxytherapy applies CO2 underneath your skin. This minimally invasive treatment takes an average of 6 weeks to begin to show results. The best way to see drastic and lasting before and after effects from carboxytherapy is to stick with regular sessions.

What to Expect from Carboxytherapy

Carboxytherapy uses a thin syringe and sterile tubing to deliver CO2 directly below the skin, where it interacts with your body to jumpstart firming and elasticity.

The technician will use a carbon dioxide gas tank that is then connected to a flow regulator. This helps the technician direct exactly how much gas is being applied.

The gas passes through the flow regulator into sterile tubing outfitted with a filter to remove any lingering impurities before it reaches your body.

The gas passes through a tiny needle inserted under the skin, interacting with the layer of skin from the inside out.

Does Carboxytherapy Hurt?

The non-surgical process is almost entirely painless. The only part of the process that may cause pain is the insertion of the needle. Your physician may provide you with a numbing cream to ensure the process is as painless as possible.

Some people report a strange sensation afterward, as their body absorbs the CO2 and they adjust to the feeling. It’s often described as a warm or tingly sensation. However, this is not a painful or even really unpleasant sensation and usually goes away within 24 hours at the most.

What Does Carboxytherapy Feel Like?

Carboxytherapy is almost painless. The closest moment to pain is the pinprick of the needle. Many physicians will provide numbing cream to avoid that pain or discomfort.

When using carboxytherapy for stretch marks or scars, the pain associated with it usually isn’t present. That’s because the skin doesn’t have the same ability to feel pain, so the needle can’t be felt as strongly.

Mostly, there’s a feeling of pressure or puffiness. For example, some clients using carboxytherapy for under the eyes might feel as though they’ve got puffy eyes like they’ve been crying all night. Others say they can feel pressure like a blood pressure cuff for roughly 15-20 minutes after the treatment.

How Long Does Carboxytherapy Take?

Each session at HD Esthetique in Miami for carboxytherapy is very quick, and with minimal invasion and pain, you can be back to your day almost immediately. A carboxytherapy session takes roughly 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Sessions are done weekly, and you can easily work with your provider to find the best times for you.

Carboxytherapy works best after several sessions. Most patients need about 7 to 10 sessions, although you may choose to have more to start with. Upkeep or maintenance sessions are recommended after the initial flight of sessions has been completed to ensure that your skin retains its bright and tight glow. These maintenance sessions are recommended every 2-4 months.

Carboxytherapy Preparation

Although carboxytherapy is a fairly simple and low-risk procedure, you can always avoid blood thinners to ensure you’re ready and will have the best outcome. Inserting a needle can cause bruising, so avoiding things like anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications before your appointment is important. Also, avoid alcohol, as that could worsen your bruising as well. If you’re taking blood thinners for any reason, make sure you notify your physician so they can take precautions to avoid bruising.

Carboxytherapy After Care

Low to No Recovery

Because of the minimally invasive nature of carboxytherapy, it has no downtime. You might feel a little puffy or swollen right after and might experience a warm or tingling sensation for up to 24 hours afterward, but this shouldn’t affect your daily living. Some patients experience light bruising, usually fading within 10 days.

No Immersion in Water

Do not immerse yourself in water for the first 24 hours after receiving carboxytherapy. This includes baths or swimming. Showering is fine.

No Scuba Diving

After carboxytherapy treatment, wait a minimum of 7 days before scuba diving.c

Carboxytherapy Side Effects

Because carboxytherapy is such low risk, there’s only one potential side effect to talk about. The chance that your injection site could experience bruising is the only side effect to worry about with carboxytherapy. Your physician will take steps to avoid this side effect, and you can help by avoiding blood thinners.

Carboxytherapy for Stretch Marks

Stretch marks happen when the skin is stretched past the point of comfort and elasticity for the skin, making the collagen rupture. When applied for stretch marks, carboxytherapy causes the formation of new collagen. This thickens the skin, essentially building it back up, and improves the appearance of the skin.

Carboxytherapy for Cellulite

Pockets of fat cause cellulite under the skin to protrude through layers of the skin, which is why it has that patchy look. When used for cellulite, carboxytherapy injects carbon dioxide directly into fat cells. This causes them to burst and melt away, eliminated by the body. Getting rid of the pockets of fat removes the appearance of cellulite.

Carboxytherapy for Dark Circles Under Eyes

Dark circles under the eyes can form and stick around for a long time for various reasons, but the most common is poor blood drainage from the lower eyelids. This poor circulation creates vascular pooling, which is what you’re seeing. It’s a bruise under the eye, with leftover blood around.

Carboxytherapy for under eyes replaces the bluish tinge of under eye circles with a blush color, improving circulation and eliminating the pooled blood.

Carboxytherapy for Face- For Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Carboxytherapy encourages collagen and elasticity in the site where it is performed. This makes the skin firmer and more supple. Firming and tightening the skin with CO2 therapy at our Miami clinic pulls wrinkles right out of the skin, reducing fine lines until they practically disappear and smoothing the appearance of wrinkles.

Carboxytherapy for Alopecia

In cases of alopecia, where hair loss is caused by poor circulation, carboxytherapy for alopecia can help treat the condition. Applying CO2 will increase circulation and blood flow, giving your skin a break and much-needed nutrients.

Different Methods for Different Results

Physicians who provide carboxytherapy get a common question: “If carboxytherapy melts fat, won’t it do that if I use it anywhere on my body other than for cellulite?”

Luckily, the method of carboxytherapy for cellulite and carboxytherapy for fine lines and wrinkles, alopecia, dark circles under the eyes, and stretch marks are vastly different. Therefore, your physician will be able to target exactly the kind of technique you need for your situation and provide that to ensure that you get the exact result you’re looking for.
