Carboxytherapy

At Champs-Élysées Aesthetic Medical Center, women can effectively achieve a better physical appearance in a shorter amount of time.

Discovered in France, Carboxytherapy is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that involves the subcutaneous application of carbon dioxide (CO2) through small infiltrations in the skin. Studies have demonstrated that Carboxytherapy improves circulation, encourages collagen repair, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and eliminates localized fatty deposits. Carboxytherapy has numerous applications in aesthetic medicine, addressing signs of aging and various skin issues, including under-eye dark circles, stretch marks, scars, loss of elasticity, fatty tissue redundancy, cellulite, and alopecia, with impressive results. With the treatment, also known as RioBlush®, available at Champs-Élysées Aesthetic Medical Center, women can effectively achieve a better physical appearance in a shorter amount of time.

How Does It Work?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) injected subcutaneously diffuses into the skin’s microvascular system, promoting oxygenation and tissue neo-vascularization. This increased blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to the skin and its vessels, spontaneously restoring the gas balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide. This process results in cell restoration, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.

Improve Your Skin Tone And Texture With Carboxytherapy

At Champs-Élysées Aesthetic Medical Center, Carboxytherapy can rejuvenate the skin on the face, décolletage, neck, and hands, improving fine wrinkles, lost tissue luminosity, and skin laxity. Our patients typically receive between four and eight treatment sessions every 3–4 weeks.

How Does Carboxytherapy Work For Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched to the point where the dermal collagen ruptures, which is common during pregnancy or weight gain. Subcutaneous application of carbon dioxide (CO2) achieves vasodilation and tissue oxygenation, it also stimulates microcirculation, aiding the oxidation of fatty acids in the atrophic and scar tissue of stretch marks. Additionally, Carboxytherapy assists in creating new collagen and subsequently thickening the skin to improve the appearance of stretch marks

How Does Carboxytherapy Work For Cellulite?

Cellulite refers to lumpy fat bulges on the thighs and buttocks, affecting over 95% of the average female population. Carboxytherapy has shown promise in eliminating cellulite. CO2 also eradicates fat cells, which are ruptured and eliminated by the body. The effects can be long-lasting, but regular maintenance treatments will extend the benefits of the procedure.

Carboxytherapy For Dark Under-Eye Circles

Although dark under-eye circles can be caused by darkened pigment or a hollow depression below the lower eyelids, most are the result of poor circulation beneath the lower eyelids. Injecting small amounts of CO2 gas under low pressure into the affected area forces the capillaries to open, distributing more oxygen and allowing for better toxin drainage. This helps replace the bluish cast with a healthy pink tone. The treatment takes only five minutes, is virtually painless, and carries minimal risk. A series of 2-6 treatments spaced one week apart is all that is required to achieve excellent results.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?

The number of treatments needed depends on the severity of your skin condition. However, we typically recommend a course of between 6 and 12 treatments, at weekly intervals, for the best results for most conditions. Champs-Élysées Aesthetic Medical Center ensures that the RioBlush® Carboxytherapy procedure is administered under the strictest professional guidelines by qualified specialists. Choosing a reliable and experienced practitioner assures patients of the best possible service, resulting in radiant, glowing, and youthful skin.
