Stretch Marks

Carboxytherapy is the injection of carbon dioxide gas underneath the skin. Carbon dioxide brings additional oxygen into the area and dilates the blood vessels where it is injected to improve the overall appearance of your skin. Carboxytherapy is a painless treatment with minimal or no side effects. You might feel "pressure" as the gas is injected under your skin. In some cases, bruising can occur in the area of your injections, but this usually lasts less than a week. After a carboxytherapy session, your skin might feel warm, itchy, and/or tingly as blood circulation increases and the gas begins to work. This can last for up to 24 hours after treatment. The injected area might also be puffy (particularly under the eyes), but this will improve within a few days as your body absorbs the gas.
