Carboxytherapy is a minimally invasive method that involves the application of carbon dioxide (CO2) subcutaneously through small infiltrations in the skin. With this technique a vasodilatation is achieved with tissue oxygenation that stimulates the microcirculation and oxidation of the fatty acids acting in the causes of cellulite and skin flaccidity.
Carboxytherapy applied in the treatment of cellulite is a technique that has been on the market for years demonstrating its effectiveness. Currently, carboxytherapy is combined with other newer technologies that enhance their effects to get rid of cellulite.
The number of sessions of carboxytherapy that are required to get rid of cellulite is variable according to the case and if it is done in monotherapy or in combination with other techniques. Normally, it is usual to perform 5-10 sessions. One or two treatments per week are applied.
Once the session of carboxytherapy is completed, it is usually complemented with the medical technique of Velashape III to increase the diffusion of gas to adjacent tissues and enhance its benefits to remove cellulite.
