Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy consists of subcutaneous application of carbon dioxide (CO2) for therapeutic purposes. It is a therapy known for years. Since 1930 is used in the spa town of Royat in France where a group of cardiologists began using it to treat diseases related to poor blood circulation.
carboxiterapia therapeutic effects are due to CO2 has a potent vasodilator of the microcirculation level of arterioles and capillaries, with increased movement speed and micro circulation, increasing the partial pressure of oxygen in the surrounding tissues, which favors its normal operation. Will also cause stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors, increasing the phenomena of lipolysis in adipose tissue, so it favors the destruction of fat.
Today, we know that cellulite is actually due to a circulatory disorder, local micro: the proper drainage does not occur in our fat cells or adipocytes wastes and impurities accumulate at the beginning of a liquid to acquire the time a thicker consistency (gel). The accumulation of this gel occurs as a result of irritation of the fibroblasts that produce collagen in greater numbers, resulting in scarring bridges that choke vessels, preventing further metabolism of the tissue, causing a vicious cycle that results in the dreaded ” orange peel. ” That is, if the micro circulatory system malfunctions, the fabric is fed effectively, waste products accumulate, with formation of edema, nodules, scarring of the skin …
The injection of CO2 in these tissues is to restore the morphology and function of the microcirculation (which is the basis of the disease), increasing the amount and speed of blood flow, reducing the accumulation of fluid and toxins between the cells, activating lipolysis and reducing fibrosis.
