Suffering from ‘STRETCH MARKS AND SCARS ?’

Dark under-eye circles, cellulite, and scars are believed to caused, at least in part, due to poor blood-flow to the region.   By injecting a small amount of carbon dioxide gas into the area, we are “tricking” the body into increasing the oxygen flow to the area by compelling the red blood cells to pick up all of the excess CO2 that we injected so that it can be carried back to the lungs for elimination from the body with the next exhalation.  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. 

 
It can be used to treat the eyelids, face, neck, arms, stomach, buttocks, and legs.  Carboxytherapy 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 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.  The areas will feel warm and tingly for up to 24 hours after the treatment as the circulation to the area is improved.

Does Thermage Work

I am often asked does thermage work and I tell everyone that today you can get the tummy you want with little to no downtime and the Thermage stomach procedure helps smooth, tighten and contour skin, for a naturally younger looking appearance.   After the procedure, some patients report a smaller waist, looser fitting clothing and skin that feels firmer and tighter with improved tone.

You will notice smoother skin texture also.  Many patients see noticeable reductions in deep wrinkles and healthier skin texture. After treatment, many patients say their stretch marks are less noticeable and much smoother.

In general, patients with mild to moderate skin sagging experience some contouring and lifting almost immediately. Immediate results are visible and usually continue to improve for up to six months. The Thermage procedure is fast and easy, and requires no downtime from everyday activities. Unlike lasers, the procedure can be performed on patients of all skin colors.  If you’ve been struggling with unsightly sagging or cellulite on the thighs, abdomen, back or arms, a Thermage treatment may be able to break down cellulite and firm up the surrounding skin – all without surgery.
