CARBOXYTHERAPY
Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids
In cases of hypertrophic scarring, resulting from the excess production of scar tissue, carboxytherapy is a simple solution with no contraindications – a great option for those who want to avoid drastic measures, such as surgery, to repair the skin. Treatment consists of injecting medicinal carbon dioxide into the hypertrophic lesion. Its anti-inflammatory action promotes a gradual reduction in tissue volume throughout the sessions.
Acne Scar
Among the various indications of carboxytherapy is its use on acne scars. The treatment basically consists of stimulating neocollagenesis (collagen production) at the scar site, in order to fill the depression and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
Carboxytherapy can be performed on all skin types and there are no restrictions on sun exposure. O result is limited, but satisfactory for the cases in which it is indicated
For which types of scar is carboxytherapy indicated?
It is indicated for the treatment of hypertrophic scars in different parts of the body, cesarean scars, breast implant scars, among others.
How does carboxytherapy work?
Purified medicinal carbon dioxide is injected into the scar wound through a very fine needle. This gas has anti-inflammatory action that will act by decreasing cell proliferation and reducing the size of the scar.
How many sessions are needed and what is the interval between them?
The number of sessions varies according to each type of injury. The break between sessions can be weekly or biweekly.
I have a cesarean scar for 1 year. Would carboxytherapy be indicated?
Yup. There are cases in which there was clinical improvement with only 1 session.
I had a breast implant and I had an unsightly scar. Can I do carboxytherapy?
Yup. The treatment has excellent results for this type of scar.
What are the pre- and post-procedure care to be taken?
No specific pre- and post-procedure care is required in carboxytherapy. It can be done at any time, even during the summer. As with any needle treatment, there is a small risk of hitting a spider vein, causing a slight ecchymosis (purple). As long as there is the "purple", exposure to the sun should be avoided.
Are there risks or contraindications to carboxytherapy?
Carboxytherapy is a safe and effective treatment. It has been widely used around the world for decades and there are no specific risks or contraindications. Medicinal carbon dioxide, with a purity of 99%, is the same used in laparoscopic surgeries. Despite all this safety, it is an invasive procedure and must be performed by specialized doctors to avoid risks and complications, such as gas embolism, for example.
Does the procedure cause pain?
Because it is an acidic gas, carbon dioxide causes a burning sensation when injected. Pain sensitivity is a very personal thing, but in the case of a hypertrophic scar, the procedure is often uncomfortable.
Muscle and skin flaccidity
Firm skin and well-defined muscles: the dream of all of us!
The skin progressively loses its elasticity. Flaccidity, one of the most problematic signs of aging, can be of cutaneous or muscular origin.
Skin sagging is largely caused by extreme diets where there is sudden weight loss, excessive sun exposure, water loss, unbalanced diet and skin aging with loss of flexibility of elastic fibers. Difficult to treat, it requires persistence and specific care.
Carboxytherapy - It is a treatment used to provide body rejuvenation. Widely used to combat a cutaneous flaccidity, it consists of injecting carbon dioxide C0² in a joyful state into the subcutaneous tissue, through a device that includes a very fine disposable needle, being a procedure that improves tissue circulation and oxygenation, promoting aesthetic benefits.
This is a very satisfactory method, as it has relatively quick results, as the effects are noticed after the fourth application, and it is possible to do 2 to 3 weekly sessions. With a recommended frequency of 2 times a week, the treatment is usually 10 to 14 applications.
Once performed by trained professionals, this treatment has no risks or side effects.
The treatments de bandagem frios, complemented with a manual tonic massage, are also indicated.
Muscle flaccidity is caused by lack or sudden stop of physical exercise, sedentary lifestyle and unbalanced radical diets.
Proven to be effective in muscle flaccidity are a electrotherapy with passive gymnastics, which can also be complemented with a cold bandage.
Consultation is essential for the definition of sagging (skin or muscle) with strict advice on the treatment to be followed. Discover our firming treatment for toned muscle and toned skin.
Neck - Sagging, Wrinkles and Double Chin
Youth and Elegance
The skin of the neck is subjected to much more movement and tension than the skin of the face. Often neglected, the elastic fibers progressively relax, wrinkles appear and, sometimes, amounts of fat accumulate in the lower area of the chin (double chin).
Therefore, this thin and fragile skin needs special care with cosmetic products with specific textures, easily assimilated, with an anti-aging effect and reinforced firmness.
The skin of the neckline is also very fragile, giving in to the action of time and lack of hydration. Neck and décolleté require, like the face, the steps for a well cared for, hydrated and young skin.
Micro-electrostimulation is very important for toning the muscles responsible for the oval of the face.
Lymphatic Drainage acts when there is accumulation of liquids, favoring the reduction of localized volumes.

Stretch marks
Stretch marks are the drama of everyone who has them
They are unsightly and difficult to treat. They are due to the rupture of dermal fibers (skin lesions) and can have several causes: tissue stretching (excessive and sudden growth and/or weight gain, excessive bodybuilding, pregnancy), genetic predisposition, biological factors (quality and quantity of fibers collagen and elastin), endocrine (cortisone), hormonal (estrogen and progesterone), etc.
Initially they cause itching, present hyperemia (redness), change to colored lesions (purple) and finally turn white.
Women usually have them on the breasts, thighs, buttocks, coulotte, hips and abdomen (after pregnancy).
Men usually have them on the buttocks, abdomen and shoulders.
Impossible to remove (except with surgery, if there is excess skin to remove), they are also a big headache for beauticians!

Bad Circulation
Poor blood and lymphatic circulation go hand in hand, harming each other
Increasingly, women and men have problems resulting from poor blood circulation, whether due to spending too many hours sitting or standing, lack of physical exercise or heredity. Tobacco, pollution, an unbalanced diet and the lack of water in our body facilitate the accumulation of toxins.
With the decrease in veno-lymphatic circulation, there is nutritional impoverishment and edema. The legs become heavy, fatigue is constant and small spills set in.
Ultimately, poor circulation, which is also a degenerative problem of the veins, the walls of these are changing over time, losing elasticity and firmness, giving rise to the appearance of varicose veins.
All this gets worse with time and when the situation is too advanced, the only solution is to remove the varicose veins.
However, much can be done before reaching these extremes. Today there are many alternatives for the prevention and improvement of these leg problems, which should be done as soon as possible and on a regular basis, since poor circulation is a chronic problem.
The Poor Circulation treatment at MEDICALSTETIC, studied to act on both problems at the same time (poor circulation and edema), aims to activate blood circulation and facilitate the elimination of toxins.
Caboxitherapy, lymphatic drainage massages, body contouring, cold banging, Endermologie are some of the treatments that, in consultation, and after analyzing your poor circulation, can be advised at our clinic.
Fluid Retention and Tiredness
legs that weigh
Under normal circumstances, body fluids are distributed throughout the blood, cellular fluid, and extracellular fluid, in a balance known as homeostasis.
If this balance for some reason changes and the interstitial fluid is not properly excreted by the lymphatic system, it will be retained in the body, causing edema and general swelling.
Swelling can affect different parts of the body. Due to the effect of gravity, it is felt more intensely in the legs and ankles, but it can also affect the face, arms, hands or the abdominal area.
It could be a behavioral issue such as sitting too long, hormonal in the case of women's premenstrual syndrome, or congenital such as heart or kidney disease. The use of drugs (birth control pills or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can also be risk factors.
Annoying, swelling caused by fluid retention, translates into discomfort, pain and tiredness in the legs, pressure in blood circulation, weight gain and even headaches .
To treat edema (swelling) it is essential to do a mix program, such as carboxytherapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage MLD or Pressotherapy, Endermologie, in which relief is immediate. _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_
Revolutionary technique for the treatment of Stretch Marks, Skin Sagging, Cellulite, Hands...
CARBOXITHERAPY is one of the latest techniques to treat cellulite, stretch marks, sagging skin, poor circulation, psoriasis and skin aging of the hands, face and neck.
This is a non-surgical treatment in which, through very fine needles, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is inserted under the skin, leaving only a small impression at the infiltration site, which disappears in seconds.
The carbon dioxide inserted into the subcutaneous tissue is diffused, increasing the metabolism of the local tissues. It thus mechanically “destroys” the fat cells, then causes vasodilation that contributes to increased blood flow in that area.
This important increase in oxygen eliminates the fluid produced in the cell gap.
Each CARBOXITHERAPY session lasts between 15 and 20 minutes and, depending on the extent of the cellulite (or other treatment), can be done up to 3 times a week, to start to see results after the 5th treatment. Around the 8th session, the skin will feel firmer. If necessary, this treatment can be repeated, it is advisable to do it twice a year. On average, 15 to 20 sessions are required.
After the treatment, there are no restrictions on the practice of activities of any kind, so the cliente can immediately resume his normal life.
A excellent oxygenation of the tissues caused by CO2, allows a considerable improvement in the level of recovery of stretch marks and treatment of sagging skin, whether on the body or on the face.
