The beauty of science. Preserving beauty isn't a race, it's a marathon! Instead of waiting for problems, more and more are recognizing that maintaining beauty is a nice challenge. Carboxytherapy, CO2 therapy originated 50 years ago in France as a treatment for improving vessels. Over the years, it has become clear that CO2 injections also provide cosmetic improvements. Italian and Brazilian researchers found that “people who have undergone CO2 treatment have a better vascular system and a reduction in the most superficial layer of fat... The treatment also improves the skin because the collagen bundles become more compact.” How does it work? Since CO2 is a by-product of respiration, receptors in the body pick up the [presence of] CO2 and see this as a shortage of oxygen in the treated area. The body responds to this by creating new blood vessels and getting the nutrients needed to 'heal' the area. “I'm really seeing a good improvement in skin tone and texture with carboxytherapy, such as around the eyes, because it improves circulation and thickens the skin.” CO2 cannot form an embolism, making carboxytherapy very safe.
