Patients are often asking: 'is the result permanent ?' . Unfortunately not. Carboxytherapy has 2 ways of action.

First, it plays a role in vascularisation with an increase of blood flow. Carboxytherapy is a non-invasive technique which can be used to improve connective tissue, the elasticity of the skin, the microvascularization and therfore lipolytic activity to reduce the volume of fat cells.

In second, it is suggested the pressure of the gas, between 2 and 3 bars, has a direct mechanical action on adipocytes causing their destruction.

It is now agreed that carboxytherapy effects on cellulite should be maintained with regular sessions. En average number of 3 to 4 sessions per year seems to be a good way to keep the best results on cellulite.

So, carboxytherapy does not give permanent results. It is necessary to re-new sessions each year with a minimum of 4 sessions to keep the results. Weight stabilization should stay a priority. Exercice & sport are also good strategies to preserve CO2 results.
