Carboxytherapy – Cellular Oxygenation, Lipolysis & Anti-Aging
Carboxytherapy is one of the most versatile and effective methods in modern aesthetic medicine. It is based on the controlled subcutaneous or intradermal injection of sterile, medical-grade carbon dioxide (CO₂).
When CO₂ is introduced into the tissue, the body locally perceives an artificial lack of oxygen (hypoxia). Reacting immediately through the biological phenomenon known as the Bohr Effect, it floods the area with blood, causing powerful vasodilation and an influx of fresh oxygen and nutrients. This intense microcirculatory reboot mechanically breaks down fat cells, degrades the fibrous bonds of cellulite, and stimulates fibroblasts to produce massive amounts of new collagen and elastin.
Symptoms Treated by Carboxytherapy
The treatment is applied with exceptional results on both the body and the face, targeting the following symptoms:
Cellulite (All Stages): Addresses everything from edematous to sclerotic forms, softening the fibrous tissues.
Localized Fat: Stubborn fat deposits on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and double chin (submental fat).
Dark Circles & Under-Eye Bags: A tired look around the eyes due to poor blood circulation and venous stasis in the infraorbital region.
Tissue Laxity & Wrinkles: Loss of firmness on the face, neck, décolleté, or the inner thighs and upper arms.
Stretch Marks & Scars: Old or recent skin alterations (e.g., post-acne scars), as it reorganizes collagen fibers.
Clinical Benefits of the Treatment
Immediate Neoangiogenesis: Creates new microvessels, permanently improving blood circulation and lymphatic drainage in the area.
Natural Lipolytic Action: The pressure of the gas and increased oxygenation disrupt the membrane of fat cells.
Powerful Skin Regeneration: Spectacularly tightens loose skin, restoring lost elasticity and radiance.
Completely Natural & Safe: CO₂ is a gas naturally produced by our body during respiration; therefore, it is fully absorbed and eliminated without causing allergies.
Minimal Downtime: Mild redness or a noticeable subcutaneous crepitus (crackling sensation from gas bubbles) subsides within a few hours.
Combination Protocols in the Dermatology Department
In our Dermatology Department, Dr. Elina Nikolenko integrates carboxytherapy into combined medical regimens for compounding results:
[Cryolipolysis / Diode Laser] ➔ [Carboxytherapy (Oxygenation & Fibrolysis)] ➔ [Pressotherapy (Drainage)]
When carboxytherapy is combined with Cryolipolysis or Diode Laser, the ultimate sculpting result is achieved. CO₂ softens the cellulite network and oxygenates tissues, while the subsequent Pressotherapy “sweeps” the area, immediately eliminating the products of lipolysis and preventing skin laxity. On the face, it pairs ideally with Mesotherapy for deep hydration and a non-surgical lifting effect.
