Carboxytherapy
Is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that involves the injection of carbon dioxide gas into the skin. This treatment has been used for over a century to treat a variety of medical conditions, including poor circulation, arthritis, and wound healing.
In recent years, carboxytherapy has gained popularity as a cosmetic treatment to address skin concerns such as cellulite, stretch marks, and wrinkles.
The carbon dioxide gas injected into the skin works by increasing blood flow and oxygenation to the area, which in turn helps to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. The procedure is minimally invasive and has little to no downtime, making it a popular choice for those who want to improve the appearance of their skin without surgery.
In addition to providing a more contoured and shapely figure, Lipo 3D can also improve self-confidence and body image. Patients may also experience a boost in their overall health and well-being, as excess fat around the waist, hips, and thighs can increase the risk of various health conditions.
Lipo 3D typically involves making small incisions in the targeted areas and using a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) to suction out fat cells. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours, depending on the extent of the treatment. Recovery time varies, but patients should expect to take some time off work and avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks following the surgery.
Like any surgery, Lipo 3D carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, and scarring. It is important to carefully follow your plastic surgeon's pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize these risks. Additionally, patients should be aware that Lipo 3D is not a weight loss procedure and that maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen is necessary to maintain the results of the surgery.
