Recently I heard about Carboxytherapy, a new beauty treatment that’s designed to make you look younger. It’s been popular overseas for years, so I wanted to find out more about it and went to Dr. Fardad Forouzanpour to find out more. He’s a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon and is the founder of Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgical Group. Here’s more about this treatment.
Can you briefly tell us how Carboxytherapy works and the benefits of it?
Carboxytherapy is a procedure whereby an extremely small needle containing carbon dioxide is injected into the skin and the fat layer beneath the skin. The presence of carbon dioxide in the tissue stimulates a number of cellular and chemical reactions. These include increased vasodilation (dilation of the blood vessels), which causes more blood flow and more oxygen flow to the area. The increased blood flow stimulates collagen production and breaks up fat cells which results in skin tightening and skin color improvement.
