Has anyone figured it out?
As a cosmetic surgeon in Halifax, I can provide you with the following information about the healing time for Carboxytherapy:
Carboxytherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that involves the injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the skin or subcutaneous tissue. This procedure is primarily used to improve the appearance of cellulite, reduce fat deposits, and enhance skin texture and tone. The healing time for Carboxytherapy can vary depending on the specific treatment area and individual factors.
Generally, the healing process for Carboxytherapy is relatively quick, and patients can expect to see visible results within a few weeks. However, the full extent of the results may take several months to fully develop as the body responds to the treatment. The following is a typical timeline for the healing process:
Immediate Post-Treatment: Immediately after the Carboxytherapy treatment, patients may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort at the injection sites. This is a normal reaction and typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
First 24-48 Hours: In the first 24-48 hours following the treatment, patients may continue to experience some mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. This is a common side effect and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and the application of cold compresses.
1-2 Weeks: Within the first one to two weeks after the Carboxytherapy treatment, the initial side effects, such as redness, swelling, and bruising, should start to subside. Patients may also begin to notice some improvements in the treated area, such as a reduction in the appearance of cellulite or a more even skin texture.
4-8 Weeks: Over the following four to eight weeks, the full benefits of the Carboxytherapy treatment will become more apparent. Patients may notice a decrease in the appearance of cellulite, a reduction in localized fat deposits, and an overall improvement in skin quality and tone.
3-6 Months: The final results of the Carboxytherapy treatment can take up to six months to fully develop. During this time, patients may continue to see gradual improvements in the treated areas, as the body's natural healing and collagen production processes continue to work.
It's important to note that the healing time and results of Carboxytherapy can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as the individual's skin type, age, overall health, and the specific areas being treated. Additionally, some patients may require multiple Carboxytherapy sessions to achieve their desired results.
Throughout the healing process, it is recommended that patients follow the postoperative instructions provided by their cosmetic surgeon, including any recommendations for rest, activity level, and the use of topical creams or ointments. By doing so, patients can help ensure a smooth and successful recovery and maximize the benefits of their Carboxytherapy treatment.
