What conditions can be treated with Carboxy Therapy?
Carboxy therapy is the infusion of carbon dioxide gas into an area. Carbon dioxide is a safe and inert gas which displaces oxygen from the treatment area. The body recognises an oxygen deficit in this localised area and responds by increasing blood flow, containing oxygen and nutrients, to the area. This helps to rejuvenate a treatment area.
Carboxy therapy can be used throughout the genital area to help increase blood flow and stimulate long term rejuvenation.
Who is a good candidate for treatment?
Any woman who is conscious of aging and decreased sensation in the genital area is a good candidate for carboxy therapy. An examination of the area to exclude any contra-indications to carboxy therapy will be done prior to treatments.
What does a treatment entail?
The area to be treated will be cleaned with a mild antiseptic solution. The carbon dioxide gas enters tissue through a tube that is connected to a tiny needle. Multiple small needle pricks are made to allow entry of the carbon dioxide gas into the tissue.
Is there pain and downtime?
Small needle pricks are uncomfortable. A topical anaesthetic can be applied to the area before treatment if desired. A mild burning sensation and feeling of mild increased pressure will be experienced as the gas enters tissue. This dissipates almost immediately. Small needle-prick bruises may occur which disappear in a few days. There is no downtime after a treatment.
When can I expect to see results?
Results take time to become evident. A course of 6 treatments at two weekly intervals is recommended.
What about confidentiality?
You can rest assured that any consultation or treatments that you have are completely confidential and carried out in a strictly professional manner. We understand that any concerns that you may have may be embarassing to talk about, and are committed to providing you with a safe and comfortable environment where you are able to discuss these.
