Carboxytherapy for the Body – Kraków Kraków

What is carboxytherapy for the body?

Carboxytherapy is a highly innovative and effective skin rejuvenation method that uses carbon dioxide (CO₂). This treatment improves skin firmness, helps reduce cellulite, and minimizes the appearance of stretch marks and scars. It involves injecting CO₂ into the deeper layers of the skin, damaging fat cell walls and releasing fatty acids. This technique is excellent for treating cellulite, scars, and stretch marks, as well as firming and rejuvenating the skin and preventing skin laxity. It is also a great method for reducing localized fat deposits.

Worldwide, carboxytherapy is a clinically proven method for skin rejuvenation and treating various skin concerns such as laxity, cellulite, stretch marks, excess fat, and even psoriasis. It is also used to reduce wrinkles and achieve a gentle skin lifting effect, especially on the face. When administered correctly, CO₂ injections slow down skin aging and significantly improve its overall condition.

Carboxytherapy for Scar Treatment At DER-MED Center, we use carboxytherapy as an effective treatment for improving the appearance and texture of scars. CO₂ is naturally present in the human body and, when injected beneath the skin in controlled doses, it brings multiple benefits: Improved blood flow – CO₂ enhances circulation in the treated area, speeding up skin regeneration. Scar reduction – Stimulated regeneration processes help smooth out scars and reduce their visibility. Increased collagen production – CO₂ stimulates fibroblasts to produce more collagen, improving skin elasticity and firmness.

Mechanism of Action Carbon dioxide is naturally found in our bodies and plays a key role in regulating blood flow by dilating blood vessels. Injecting CO₂ into the skin increases blood flow, stimulates collagen production, and helps break down fat deposits. This infusion of CO₂ enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery, boosts microcirculation, and supports cell renewal.

The skin’s response to CO₂ injection is a mild inflammatory reaction, which activates collagen production. After several months, skin remodeling occurs, including the contraction of collagen fibers, which leads to visibly firmer, more elastic skin.

Fat cells are particularly sensitive to CO₂. Once injected, CO₂ partially converts into carbonic acid, which dissolves fat cells. This process improves lymphatic drainage, enhances metabolism, and helps eliminate released fat. Over time, it reduces fat cell volume and sculpts the body. At the same time, cellular renewal and collagen synthesis smooth the skin surface and reduce the appearance of “orange peel” skin.
