Suffering from ‘STRETCH MARKS AND SCARS ?’

This may be the answer to your problem. To date, stretch marks were pretty much untreatable. Carboxytherapy is effective in softening stretch marks by increasing the blood flow to these poorly vascularized regions and allowing them to constrict and contract, making them narrower and blending them better with the surrounding skin.
So, how does Carboxytherapy work? 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. Carboxytherapy 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.
The average Carboxytherapy treatment takes approximately fifteen to thirty minutes to complete.
Carbonxytherapy is showing great promise by softening stretch marks by increasing the blood flow to the stretch mark regions and allowing them to constrict and contract, thus blending them better with the surrounding healthy skin. This new procedure is allowing people to start feeling better about themselves on the inside, by looking better on the outside.
