Frequently Asked Questions

How is Carboxytherapy preformed?
It is a non-surgical method. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is infiltrated into the subcutaneous tissue through a tiny 30G needle (0.3mm in diameter). From the injection point, the carbon dioxide diffuses easily into adjacent tissues.

How does the carbon dioxide work?
Carboxytherapy works in two complimentary ways. First, carbon dioxide kills fat cells. Secondly, it also causes dilation of blood vessels on the capillaries in the area. Wider vessels mean bigger and stronger blood flow to the area, which means more oxygen. The increase in oxygen is important because it eliminates the build up of fluid from between the cells. The end result is fewer fat cells and firmer subcutaneous tissue.

Is it painful?
No. Some patients can experience a light tingling sensation near the injection site. It disappears within a matter of seconds. As a result of the increased circulation, the area surrounding the injection site may feel warmer for 10 to 20 minutes.

What should I avoid after treatment?
There are no restrictions on any activities after the treatment. You can go right back to what you were doing.

How many sessions are necessary?
For Cellulite and Stretch marks:
Between 15 and 20 sessions are necessary to eliminate cellulite. Ideally they should be carried out every other day, although sometimes one to two sessions per week will be enough. This will depend on the extent of your cellulite. Each session lasts between 10 and 15 minutes.

For spot fat removal:
Also about 15 – 20 sessions with 6-10 sessions of Mesotherapy (7 – 10 days apart).

How many sessions before I see an improvement?
After the 5th session you will see that your skin is noticeably healthier. Around the 8 – 10 session mark, you will appreciate that your subcutaneous tissue is firmer. Before the treatment program ends you will have firmer, cellulite free skin.

How long will the benefits last?
This depends entirely on you. If you choose to follow a healthy diet complemented by regular exercise, the cellulite can stay away for years. If you tend to succumb to culinary temptations or never find the time for exercise, the cellulite will return much quicker. On average, it will be 5 to 6 months before you see it starting to creep back in. If you're vigilant, 3 to 5 sessions will get you back to smooth firm skin.

Isn't carbon dioxide toxic?
No. Carbon dioxide is naturally produced by the cells in our bodies every day of our life. It is a byproduct of metabolism. It is transported in the blood and exhaled through the lungs. This gas will not cause embolism.
