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.
The procedure works by 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 treatment of stretch marks and scars is a relatively fast and painless process. This popular procedure is allowing people to start feeling better about themselves on the inside, by looking better on the outside. The method is also being used as a treatment for dark under eye circle smoothing and removal also, and with good success.

A procedure called ‘Carbonxytherapy’ is showing great promise by softening stretch marks using increased blood flow to the stretch mark regions and allowing them to constrict and contract, thus blending them better with the surrounding healthy skin. Up until recently, most stretch marks were pretty much untreatable. But by injecting very small amounts of carbon dioxide gas just below the surface of the skin, the procedure tricks it into increasing blood circulation to the treated area. Carbonxytherapy is also being used with great success as a treatment for dark under eye circles, cellulite and stretch mark smoothing and removal.

It seems like yesterday when the Thermage CPT-Precision was being introduced. Below is the first release about the new tip.

OCTOBER 12, 2009
Newest Thermage CPT Vibrating Face Tip Yields Maximum Skin Tightening with Minimal Discomfort. Thermage grants Dr. Lisa Zdinak exclusive access to debut the Thermage CPT Face Tip with Vibrating Handpiece in New York City.

Lisa A. Zdinak, M.D., Chief Surgeon and Medical Director of Precision Aesthetics and three-time Pinnacle Award Winning Thermage Physician, is pleased to have been chosen by Thermage to exclusively debut the Thermage CPT Face Tip and Vibrating Handpiece in New York City.

How does this latest technology differ from previous offerings?

Thermage CPT stands for “Comfort Pulse Technology” and is representative of Thermage’s continued efforts to provide the most effective and comfortable skin tightening treatment available on the aesthetic market today. Comfort Pulse Technology achieves the following:

Greater Skin Tightening Through A New Heating Algorithm
The redesigned facial treatment tips deliver enhanced heat distribution and uniformity, which lead to improved volumetric heating. A greater volume of tissue is heated to target temperatures and the heating is more evenly distributed across the treatment area. Data from clinical studies demonstrate that the Thermage CPT system heats four times more tissue to therapeutic temperatures than current technologies. This translates into even more skin tightening than what was available with the prior facial tips!

Increased Comfort Through “Comfort Pulse Technology”
The new Thermage CPT system employs “Comfort Pulse Technology” along with a new vibrating handpiece to enhance efficacy and greatly improve patient comfort.

The new CPT technology helps lessen discomfort in the following ways:
1. A new vibrating handpiece offers a clinically proven improvement in patient comfort. In controlled, split-faced clinical studies, comparing treatment of over 40 patients with vibration to treatment without vibration, all patients preferred being treated with vibration.
2. The new energy delivery algorithm interweaves pulsed radio frequency delivery with cooling bursts mimicking Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (“TENS”) therapy, to disrupt the brain’s neural response and improve comfort during treatment.
3. The heat is now more concentrated directly into the tissue being treated with less spillage onto the edges of the tip, eliminating that “pinch” at the end of the energy pulse.

Thermage is a safe, non-invasive skin-tightening procedure with no downtime that is clinically proven to tighten, contour, and rejuvenate the skin in a single treatment. Immediate results are visible and continue to improve for up to six months.

For the last 2-3 years my wife has been talking and talking about getting some cosmetic work done on her face, around her eyes, her neck, and if there is enough money, maybe some work done on the old tummy section. I have made no comments, thinking that maybe she would forget about it or change her mind. Well, she isn’t going to change her mind and she certainly hasn’t forgotten about it yet. Since our anniversary is coming up in a couple of weeks, I thought I would surprise her and give her the cosmetic work as part of my anniversary gift for her.

After I told her what I had in mind, she loved it and asked if I wanted to come with her to find the doctor or clinic, and basically check out a few to get a better idea of costs. WOW ! Have they come along way with cosmetic improvement procedures. I had no idea of the advances that have been made in recent years. We went to several plastic surgeons, got doctor referrals, and then a friend of my wife told her about the fairly new and very popular Thermage Procedures that are available now, and soaring in popularity throughout the country. And her friend referred us to Dr Lisa.

She ended up going to Dr. Lisa Zdinak at Precision Aesthetics New York and she and I are so happy with the results that were attained. We would recommend Dr Lisa and her staff to anyone.
