Carboxytherapy by Bella Viságe
Carboxytherapy has been touted as the biggest beauty breakthrough since injectables and dermal fillers and it’s now available in Lakeland only at Bella Viságe Medical Rejuvenation. It is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that is a clinically proven method to rejuvenate, restore, and recondition the skin. It also treats wrinkles, laxity, cellulite and stretch marks. The process involves injecting tiny amounts of Carbon Dioxide Gas (CO2) beneath the skin to break down fatty deposits and stimulate collagen production. The treatment has no downtime and a single session can take between fifteen minutes to an hour. In short, Carboxytherapy is a simple and safe procedure for beautiful, younger looking skin.
When the skin doesn’t get enough oxygen it becomes more prone to aging, acne, redness, irritation and age spots. Carboxytherapy infuses CO2 just beneath the skin’s surface; the body interprets this as an oxygen deficit and responds by increasing blood flow and growth factors such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), which encourages the production of new blood vessels. This provides a surge of oxygen and nutrients to the treated area and improves circulation, resulting in cell restoration. Increased oxygen concentration also improves the water retention or edema in the area.
At Bella Viságe, a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner performs the procedure and the initial consultation to discuss the process of Carboxytherapy. Because CO2 is non-embolic, it is very safe if done with the correct protocols and a pre-treatment consultation. Carbon dioxide is a natural by-product of the body and is not toxic, even in elevated doses. After the treatment the gas is totally reabsorbed within 5 minutes and the area treated returns to normal.
