Gas injections in Krasnodar - injection carboxytherapy

Carboxytherapy is the subcutaneous or intradermal administration of medical (sterile) carbon dioxide (CO2) using microinjections in order to achieve a cosmetic and therapeutic effect. In aesthetic medicine, injection carboxytherapy can be used both as an independent procedure and in a comprehensive solution to various aesthetic problems. Doctors at our clinic most often use the method of injection carboxytherapy as part of a complex effect together with the introduction of other active ingredients, hyaluronic acid or using other cosmetic technologies. Carboxytherapy injections can be performed in different areas of the face, neck, décolleté, hips, shoulders, and knees.

What are gas injections?

Many have heard about the method of ozone therapy, when ozone, an allotropic modification of oxygen, is injected intradermally. This causes increased blood flow, saturation of tissues with O2 and acceleration of all metabolic processes in general.

Carbon dioxide injections are similar to ozone therapy, with one exception - sterile CO2 is injected instead of ozone. When it is administered, the body receives a signal about a lack of oxygen and accelerates all processes to saturate the dermal cells with it. This happens 2-3 times faster than with ozone therapy.

Informative

Carbon dioxide (CO2, carbon dioxide) is an odorless gaseous substance. It was first discovered in the mid-17th century by the Dutch chemist and physician Van Helmont.

Carbon dioxide injections - carboxytherapy, or as they are also called - gas injections, for therapeutic purposes were initially used exclusively for the correction of organic and functional lesions, for example, in Raynaud's disease, atherosclerosis, etc.

Currently, CO2 injections are widely used in the beauty industry, in particular medical cosmetology, and are an innovative method of rejuvenating and healing the skin. It consists of increasing the level of redox reactions by improving blood circulation, regeneration and detoxification.

Carboxytherapy (gas injections) is not new in medicine. It is unique in its simplicity and was first put into practice by French doctors back in the thirties of the last century.

On a note:

Invasive carboxytherapy is compatible with other rejuvenation techniques, and can be used to quickly heal the skin and make it look well-groomed, for example, before going to the theater or a photo shoot.

Skin covering

The main area of ​​effect of carboxytherapy is the skin. This superficial organ is necessary for humans to protect against adverse external factors, form vitamin D, maintain metabolism and store blood. Healthy skin preserves the beauty of the face and prevents the development of diseases. Unfortunately, many pathologies of internal organs and external influences worsen the condition of the integumentary tissues.

Departments of the organ:

• The epidermis is the most superficial part of the organ, consisting of several layers of epithelium. The horny cells of the epidermis protect the body from bacteria, viruses, harmful substances and physical influences. The inner layers of cells ensure constant renewal of the keratinized epithelium.
• The dermis is the middle part of the organ in which active metabolic processes occur. Important structures of the dermis include hair follicles, nerve fibers, blood vessels, sweat and sebaceous glands.
• Subcutaneous tissue is the deepest part of the organ. First of all, this is a reserve of adipose tissue. The body can use fat to replenish energy and fluid deficits. In addition, subcutaneous tissue protects the body from hypothermia. Excessive amount of adipose tissue is observed with metabolic disorders.

Proper skin care helps eliminate vascular and metabolic pathologies. As we grow older, the amount of elastin and collagen in the surface tissues decreases, causing the skin to become loose. Another problem is insufficient oxygen supply to the epithelium. Women often do not notice the progressive deterioration of their skin until complications arise. Carboxytherapy makes it possible to eliminate negative changes even in advanced cases.

Mesotherapy or gas injections?

The risks of complications and side effects in the form of allergic reactions, edema and others are, in practice, reduced to zero, thanks to the use of sterile medical carbon dioxide and special equipment for carboxytherapy for CO2 gas injections.

The indications for prescribing “gas injections” in Krasnodar are similar to the indications for mesotherapy. So can we say that this technique will replace mesotherapy? We can say with complete confidence - never.

In the hands of a competent specialist, mesococktail injections work wonders. But to say that these two methods complement each other very well would be very correct.

You can find out which of these procedures is best for you at a consultation with a cosmetologist at the medical and aesthetic center “Cosmetologist and Me” .

Carrying out

Non-invasive carboxytherapy is carried out in beauty salons and medical centers. Before starting the procedure, the specialist assesses the condition of the patient’s skin and specifies which dermatological ailments need to be eliminated.

Stages of implementation:

1. Remove makeup, sebum and impurities using lotion or gel.
2. Steaming the integumentary tissue to expand the pores.
3. Applying the mask using a spatula.
4. Waiting for the mask effect. All carbon dioxide penetrates the epithelium in about 20-25 minutes.
5. Removing the mask and treating the skin with a soothing ointment.

Immediately after the procedure, redness or swelling of the skin may develop, but after a few hours all side effects go away on their own.

Where is carboxytherapy done in Krasnodar

Injection carboxytherapy has already received wide recognition among residents of our city, and everyone who has completed its full course notes a very positive effect. You can do carboxytherapy at our medical-aesthetic center “Cosmetologist & Ya” by pre-registering online here »

It is important!

The carbon dioxide injection procedure can be performed by a cosmetologist who has a higher medical education and has completed training in the course of injection carboxytherapy, which is confirmed by the appropriate certificate.

If you decide to give injections with carbon dioxide in a beauty salon, do not be lazy to ask the cosmetologist who will perform the procedure for the availability of these documents.

Reviews from doctors about this technique are positive, which is confirmed by the pronounced positive effects, excellent results and the undoubted benefits of gas injections.

How can carboxytherapy restore youth and stop aging?

There are many skin types, and we all age differently. And no matter how you care for your skin, time will still take its toll. You can achieve excellent results by maintaining skin elasticity with collagen. This in turn will prevent sagging of softer tissues and muscles. According to the new concept, it is necessary to begin facelift procedures as early as possible to avoid, or at least postpone, surgical intervention. It is recommended to conduct a course of 4-6 procedures annually with a break of 2-4 weeks.

How carbon dioxide injections are performed in cosmetology

How does injection carboxytherapy work in cosmetology? The principle of action is based on the saturation of tissues with carbon dioxide, which increases blood circulation and stimulates the release of oxygen by oxyhemoglobin. As a result of this microstress, the skin receives a command from the body to mobilize its own resources.

On a note:

During intense training in the gym, our body produces 5-10 times more CO2 than it receives during the entire session of gas injections.

When carrying out gas injections, sterile, medical-grade carbon dioxide and a cosmetic diffusion apparatus with special disposable needles are used. Using this device, the required amount of injected CO2 is controlled.

Carboxytherapy injections are performed into the dermis or hypodermis, depending on the desired result. After each injection, the cosmetologist performs a light smoothing for better diffusion.

On a note:

The procedure does not have any age restrictions and is recommended for both men and women at any time of the year.

Intradermally injected carbon dioxide spreads well through the great vessels into the underlying muscles after 5-30 minutes. Its administration causes vasodilation, so the injection points bleed a little, but, as a rule, no bruises are left.

Carbon dioxide injections do not take long. On average, one procedure lasts from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated. They require much fewer points of influence than, for example, with biorevitalization.

It is important!

An experienced cosmetologist knows that CO2 injections cannot be performed in several areas of the body at once, because blood begins to flow to the injection area. Violating this rule can cause pressure surges.

As a rule, no more than 1-3 zones are treated in one procedure. For example, the abdomen and buttock area, buttocks and back of the thigh or face area, eyelids and neck, etc. Typically, a course of carbon dioxide treatment includes 4 – 10 sessions.

Despite the apparent simplicity of performing gas injections, we strongly warn you against performing this technique at home on your own.

Advantages and disadvantages of the method

Why is carboxytherapy so popular?

• The procedure is painless;
• Minimum list of contraindications;
• The visible effect is noticeable after just a couple of procedures;
• The result lasts for a long time.

The only disadvantages that can be noted are redness of the skin and slight swelling at the injection site. Don’t worry, these consequences are quite normal and will go away on their own within a few days.

The session consists of stages:

  Preparation - includes cleansing with special means the area for which the procedure is intended. The injection is carried out with a special device, with the help of which it is heated to 43 degrees. CO2 molecules are injected under the skin. If the procedure is non-invasive, then a special mask is applied to the area, which nourishes the skin with CO2 molecules. The final stage of the invasive procedure involves applying a picosilver-based protectant to the treated area of ​​the body. Diagnostics - includes cleansing with special means the area for which the procedure is intended. Injection is carried out with a special device, with the help of which it is heated to 43 degrees. CO2 molecules are injected under the skin. If the procedure is non-invasive, then a special mask is applied to the area, which nourishes the skin with CO2 molecules. The final stage of the invasive procedure involves applying a picosilver-based protectant to the treated area of ​​the body.   

Technique of the procedure

My system for carboxytherapy includes an activator gel mask, several sachets with powder and foam to remove the mask.

Using a clean spatula, I take the gel mask out of the jar and measure the required amount on the scale.

After this, I open the sachet, add its contents to the mask, mix the gel mask with the powder with a spatula until a homogeneous mass is obtained, and the carboxytherapy mask is ready.

Applying a mask

I apply the mask along massage lines onto previously cleansed skin. The easiest way to do this is with a small spatula. The mask is easy to apply, and unlike an alginate mask, you don’t have to worry that the product will harden and you won’t have time to apply it. But you shouldn’t hesitate too much either.

Unlike the alginate mask, this mask is not applied to the lips and eyes, but it can be applied to the lower and upper eyelids. In the lower eyelid area, the mask can be applied very close to the eyes, almost along the growth line of the lower eyelashes. In the area of ​​the upper eyelid, the mask is applied only to the fixed part; there is no need to apply the mask to the moving eyelid.

After you have applied the mask, you need to lie down and listen to pleasant music. In my case, the mask will be on the face for 25 minutes.

Applying foam and removing the mask

After the specified time has passed, I follow further instructions and apply foam to remove the mask on my face. The foam remains on the face for 5 minutes, after which I proceed to remove the mask.

It is most convenient to remove this mask with the same small spatula, gradually separating the edges and removing the mask like old skin. This process is very reminiscent of advertising, where with the help of Photoshop, old skin is removed from the face, and a new one appears under it - young, smooth and beautiful.

In this case, this is practically true, because immediately after carboxytherapy the skin really looks very fresh, smooth and well-groomed.
