How is the treatment with carboxytherapy?
Treatment depends on the type of use and treatment location. But the method of using carboxytherapy is almost the same.
In this technique, we use a carbon dioxide gas capsule that is connected to a gas flow regulating device with a plastic tube. Using this device, your doctor very carefully controls the amount of gas entering the body.
Carbon dioxide enters the regulator from the capsule and then enters a sterile tube with a filter at the end. This filter absorbs all the remaining impurities so that they do not enter the body.
The gas will pass through the filter and enter a very fine needle. Using this needle, the doctor sends carbon dioxide gas under your skin.
