Carboxytherapy Overview
Postpartum stretch marks, those resulting from rapid weight gain and loss, stretch marks after liposuction, cellulite, and sagging or loose skin are all issues that many of us experience from time to time. These conditions often arise due to a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and the effects of urban living with insufficient oxygen. Carboxytherapy is an effective treatment method that promotes natural rejuvenation.
Carboxytherapy is successfully used for:
- Reducing cellulite
- Treating stretch marks
- Addressing sagging and loose skin
- Treating injured areas
- Reducing enlarged breasts due to adipose tissue and addressing sagging
Carboxytherapy is based on the principle that carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is administered into the body, prompting a natural response where the body sends oxygen to the area with carbon dioxide. The primary function of carbon dioxide in this treatment is to deform fat. The remarkable human body responds by sending plenty of oxygen to eliminate carbon dioxide, resulting in natural rejuvenation. During this process, unused capillaries expand, begin to be utilized again, and even new capillaries are formed.

- Cancer patients

Treatment Details
Carboxytherapy can be safely applied to any area of the body for localized slimming.
The number of carboxytherapy sessions varies from person to person, typically averaging between 15 to 20 sessions. Initial reactions can be observed after about 5 to 7 sessions, and the effects become visibly noticeable.
Each carboxytherapy session lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes, and treatments are usually scheduled every 2 to 3 days based on individual needs.
After carboxytherapy treatment, activities such as showering, swimming, or using a sauna should be avoided for 4 to 6 hours, and contact with water should be prevented. Following this period, daily life can resume as usual.
