What is microdermabrasion?
Breast augmentation, or liposuction, each of which were performed just under 350,000 times during the same period, or the ever popular “nose job” that lightened the facial load for just under 150,000 recipients, and you get a sense for just how popular facial rejuvenation techniques covered under the category “microdermabrasion” are.
[social_quote duplicate=”no” align=”default”]However, it is also important to note that the term microdermabrasion covers a range of mechanical skin resurfacing procedures. However, it also includes the more advanced technology, known as dermalinfusion, which is growing rapidly worldwide in its popularity. Dermalinfusion incorporates a form of microdermabrasion, in the process of clearing debris, oils and other impurities from the skin while also delivering a therapeutically appropriate treatment serum.[/social_quote]

Part III Carboxytherapy Work for Stretchmarks
How does carboxytherapy work for stretchmarks?
Stretchmarks (striae distensae) occur when the skin is stretched to the point where the dermal collagen ruptures. Carboxytherapy causes the formation of new collagen and subsequently thickens the skin to improve the appearance of the stretchmarks by rebuilding the collagen matrix.
How does carboxytherapy work for cellulite and fat reduction?
When injected via a specific technique, carbon dioxide gas is directly toxic to fat cells. The fat cells literally burst and are eliminated by the body.
If carboxytherapy is used to melt fat, won’t it make my eyelids hollow?
No. The technique used to treat dark circles beneath the eyelids is different than the technique used to treat fat. However, there are some instances where I may wish to dissolve fat beneath the eyelids using a technique that I created.
How is the carboxytherapy treatment administered?
There are several machines that are used to administer the carbon dioxide gas, but the basic components are the same. There is a tank of carbon dioxide gas that is connected by plastic tubing to a flow-regulator. The flow-regulator slows down the speed of the gas according to the rate selected by the physician. The gas emerges from the flow-regulator into sterile tubing that has a filter connected at the exit to remove any trace impurities before the gas is run through a tiny needle attached to the opposite side of the filter. The pure gas is now ready to be injected beneath the skin via the tiny needle.
What does carboxytherapy feel like?
Carboxytherapy doesn’t hurt; it just feels a little “weird.” Because of differences in the techniques used to treat the eyelids, stretch-marks, scars, and fat deposits, the sensation is slightly different depending upon what is actually being treated. I use numbing cream for all of my patients to diminish any discomfort associated with the pin-prick of the needle itself.
When treating the eyelids, I tell my patients that the lower eyelids will feel puffy, like they were up crying all night, but that will subside once the gas is absorbed over the next five to ten minutes.
The treatment of stretch-marks and scars is relatively painless because this skin doesn’t have the same ability to sense pain. Some pressure from the gas may be felt as the stretch-marks are distended, and they can feel a bit itchy, but again this subsides in about five minutes once the gas is absorbed by the body. Scars generally feel no pain because there are no nerves in scar tissue.
The treatment of cellulite and fatty deposits on the arms, abdomen, and legs has a unique sensation of its own. This is because a larger amount of the gas is injected directly into the offending fat deposits and allowed to expand. While the gas is expanding, you may feel some pressure in the area being treated that feels similar to when the arm is squeezed by a blood pressure cuff. The areas will feel warm and tingly for up to 24 hours after the treatment as the circulation to the area is improved.
Part II- What are Some Clinical Uses for Carboxytherapy
What are some clinical uses for carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy is used for the treatment of dark under-eye circles, stretch-marks, cellulite reduction, and non-surgical fat sculpting on the face and the body.
What areas of the body can be treated with carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy can be used to treat the eyelids, face, neck, arms, stomach, buttocks, and legs.
What other benefits occur from carboxytherapy?
In addition to increasing oxygenated blood-flow to the region injected, carboxytherapy also increases collagen formation in the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance.
How does carboxytherapy work for dark undereye circles?
One major cause of dark under eye circles is vascular pooling. The capillary network of the lower eyelids can become congested for a variety of reasons. Normally, the tears drain from the eyelids into the nose, but if there is some obstruction due to chronic nasal congestion from seasonal allergies, previous nasal fracture, or a deviated septum, the drainage doesn’t function well, and the blood flow to the lower eyelids becomes sluggish, giving rise to the boggy blue tinge known casually as “allergic shiners.” The lack of appropriate oxygenation to the lower eyelid skin allows the bluish cast to show through the thin skin of the eyelids. Carboxytherapy works to improve the capillary network of the lower eyelids, as well as to increase the dermal collagen layer in the lower eyelid skin. By injecting a small amount of carbon dioxide gas into the affected areas, blood flow is increased and improved capillary networks are formed for longer lasting circulatory benefit. The bluish cast is replaced with a healthy pink tone. Once a series of treatments is completed, the skin has a more luminous appearance that lasts approximately six months.
`WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR UNDER EYE DARK CIRCLES?
Carboxytherapy may be the answer to your dark under eye circles and is proving quite successful across the country. This is a relatively painless procedure that is also being used for the treatment of stretch marks and cellulite.
Carbon Dioxide gas is administered just beneath the skin surface. The procedure takes only about 5-10 minutes. The treatment is done in a physicians office with little downtime so the patient can return to work if need be. By injecting small amounts of carbon dioxide gas just below the surface of the skin, the skin is tricked into increasing the blood circulation to that area. Dark under-eye circles, cellulite, and stretch marks have all been shown to have some root cause in poor blood circulation.
Talk to your dermatologist soon and see if this procedure will work for your condition.

Treating Stretch marks Successfully
A fairly new and popular stretchmarks removal procedure is allowing people to start feeling better about themselves on the inside, by looking better on the outside.
The treatment of stretch marks and scars is a relatively fast and painless process. Up to very recently, stretch marks were pretty much untreatable no matter what method you tried.
The Carbonxytherapy Treatment is gaining in popularity and showing great promise by softening stretch marks by increasing the blood flow to the stretch mark areas and allowing them to constrict and contract, thus blending them better with the surrounding healthy skin. Carbonxytherapy causes the formation of new collagen and subsequently thickens the skin to improve the appearance of the stretch marks by rebuilding the collagen matrix. Injecting very small amounts of carbon dioxide gas just below the surface of the skin, the procedure tricks it (the skin) into increasing blood circulation in the treated area.
The same Carbonxytherapy treatment is also now being used for dark under eye circle smoothing and removal, and with good success.
