Glossary Carboxytherapy

non-surgical treatment injecting CO2 to improve blood flow

Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the skin or subcutaneous tissue. This process is believed to improve blood flow, stimulate collagen production, and enhance skin elasticity, making it useful for treating conditions like cellulite, stretch marks, and even hair loss by improving scalp circulation.
