Medical Video: Laser Stretch Mark Removal INFO + MY PROCEDURE
The reddish white streaks typical of stretch marks usually appear on the arms, thighs, abdomen, and breasts. Stretch marks make the color and texture of the skin become uneven, which is unsightly. One way to get rid of stretch marks is withcarboxytherapy aka carbon dioxide therapy. How does it work, and how effective, carboxytherapy is to remove stretch marks?
What is that carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy or carbon dioxide (CO2) therapy is a medical procedure used to treat skin problems, especially stretch marks, cellulite, and wrinkles and fine lines. In addition, this procedure can help reduce circles under the eyes by increasing blood flow to the eyelids. Some doctors also use this therapy to treat erectile dysfunction, acute arthritis, Raynaud's syndrome, and alopecia caused by poor blood circulation.
How to work carboxytherapy?
Caroxytherapy is done by injecting a dose of carbon dioxide under the skin, to help improve blood circulation.
Poor blood circulation related to formationstretch marks. Red blood cells flow carrying oxygen to be distributed to all parts of the body. On the other hand, your body's cells also release carbon dioxide as waste disposal
Through carboxytherapydoctors can encourage smoother blood circulation to areas that are given carbon dioxide. Because the injection of carbon dioxide will urge oxygenated red blood cells to get to the area that needs it. Oxygen supply to the area of the skin that has stretch marks can improve skin elasticity, so that in the end removing the white strokes disturbs them.
This is an outpatient procedure and usually only takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
What are the side effects of carboxytherapy?
This therapy is not painful and fairly low risk, so it is often chosen as the main treatment step for removing stretch marks. Even so, some people can feel a little tingling or appear bruises at the injection site afterwards.
After doing carboxytherapy, you are not recommended forsoak in water for 24 hours, including swimming.
