Carboxytherapy is an excellent treatment for white, red or purple striations because it regenerates the skin and reorganizes the collagen and elastin fibers, leaving the skin more even.
Carboxitherapy sessions should not be performed during pregnancy or during the breastfeeding phase, especially if the goal is to remove the stretch marks from the breasts because during breastfeeding the breasts increase and decrease in size on a daily basis, which may lead to new stretch marks.
How much
The price of the carboxitherapy for stretch marks is approximately 300 reais per session, and the number of sessions varies according to the amount of stretch marks and their size.
That way, it is always important to do an evaluation consultation before the session to know how many sessions may be needed and what the price. In most cases it is recommended to do at least 4 sessions.
How Carboxytherapy Works for Stretch Marks
The gas injected during the carboxytherapy session is carbon dioxide which, in contact with skin cells, leads to the formation of more fibroblasts that stimulate the production of collagen and fibronectin and glycoprotein, connective tissue molecules,
facilitating the repair of the skin in a sharp and fast way.
To do the treatment, the following steps are followed:
- Anesthetize the skin with proper creams to reduce discomfort;
- Demarcar the area to be treated, dividing large areas by quadrants of up to 10 cm;
- Apply the gas directly to the striae, approximately one injection being made every centimeter of the stria;
The injections are made using a very thin needle, similar to those used to apply botox to the lips.
Carboxitherapy for stretch marks hurts?
Because it is a procedure that hurts a little, it is only advised for those who can bear well the pain caused by the needle entering the skin and the amount of gas that is injected. The pain can be characterized as in the form of a twinge, burning or burning and may be throbbing, but tends to decrease in intensity at each treatment session. Usually, from the 4th session pain is already more bearable and results can be seen with the naked eye, which increases the willingness to remain in treatment.
What are the results of carboxytherapy for stretch marks
The results of the carboxitherapy for striae can be observed, on average, after the 5th session, but better results are observed when the technique is combined with chemical peeling. In this case a reduction of 80% in only 4 sessions can be observed.
Although the results are better in the purple and red striae, because they are newer and better irrigated, the white striae can also be attenuated with the carboxitherapy sessions.
In addition to giving good results in the elimination of stretch marks, the striae withdrawn usually do not return, but it is necessary to avoid great variations of weight and to keep the skin well hydrated.
