    Skin Renewal Tip

    For resistant fat reduction, Carboxytherapy at high volume is introduced deep in to the fat which then breaks up the fat cell and stimulates new vessels and rejuvenation.
    For cellulite reduction, Carboxytherapy is introduced deep alongside the lymphatic system of the upper and lower leg to improve lymphatic drainage and circulation. Toxins which contribute to the orange peel effect are removed and collagen is stimulated. This all leads to improved texture and appearance of the cellulite

    For stretch marks, traditionally a very difficult skin problem to treat, Carboxytherapy introduced into the stretch marks improves the collagen content and shrinks the stretchmark’s, improving the appearance

      How does CarboxyMesoglow Facial work?

      Read More

      As we age, subcutaneous capillaries become dormant with decreasing cells of oxygen; this combined with environmental stresses and other variables, inhibits the ability of cells to regenerate and function properly and the skin slowly loses its elasticity and collagen. By the age 30, oxygen levels in your skin drop by 25% and 50% by age 40. The body naturally gets its oxygen through basic breathing, but factors like pollution reduce the levels. The body will first utilize oxygen in the major organs and lastly go to the skin. When the skin doesn't get enough oxygen it becomes more prone to aging, acne, redness, and irritation and age spots. The Carboxy Mesoglow Facial resurfaces, reoxygenates, rehydrates and tightens skin. After a series of four to six treatments visible skin rejuvenation, an open brow and sleeker jawline, neck and décolleté can be expected all resulting from a combination of the following treatments

      • A superficial alpha hydroxy chemical peel is a quick, no downtime procedures that renews the skin by lifting dead cells off the surface of your skin and stimulating metabolism of the cells underneath. With a series of alpha hydroxy chemical peels you can quickly achieve substantial improvement in the appearance of superficial lines and uneven pigmentation, while making your skin look and feel softer, smoother, and more radiant and rehydrated. Acne scars and enlarged pores may become less noticeable, and acne breakouts may be reduced. (see Alpha Hydroxy Peel)
      • Carboxytherapy infuses CO 2 just beneath the skin’s surface; the body interprets this as an oxygen deficit and responds by increasing blood flow and growth factors such as VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor) for example encourages production of new blood vessels. This provides a surge of oxygen and nutrients to the treated area and improves circulation, resulting in cell restoration. Increased oxygen concentration also improves the water retention or oedema in the area. The treatment has no downtime and a single session can take between fifteen minutes and an hour. In short, Carboxytherapy is a simple and safe procedure for beautiful, younger looking skin. •
      • For those with a fear of needles, Transdermal Mesotherapy is the newest and most innovative technology to administer a drug solution to a patient and uses FDA approved DEEP ® technology At Skin Renewal for anti ageing benefits we use a combination of award winning growth factors , peptides, amino acids, vitamins, nucleic acids and co factors These combinations present in the cocktail stimulate the production of collagen and elastin so that the dermis is strengthened thereby improving skin tone and texture. For pigmentation, patented pigmentation inhibiting peptides are used to improve hormonal pigmentation and a powerful anti oxidant Thioredoxin mops up all the free radicals thus preserving existing collagen

      When should one start a Carboxy Mesoglow Facial?

      Read More

      As one age, the skin’s elasticity declines dramatically and gravity constantly pulls on our faces. Previously there was no alternative to surgical face lifts and eye lifts or blepharoplasties. Both areas were very difficult area to treat non-surgically .Now with the advent of novel treatments such as the Carboxy Mesoglow facial, virtually any patient in their thirties or above can be a candidate for a little tightening and firming around the eye, brow and jowl area and the younger the patient the better the result. Eight out of ten patients get noticeable improvement in skin laxity around the eyes after the second treatment of the Carboxy Mesoglow Facial and most will see an improvement in skin color, luminosity and texture.

      In addition, for those patients who are nervous about the effects of Botox®, new technologies such as Carboxy Mesoglow Facial offer an alternative to rejuvenation and improvement of crow’s feet and a more open eyed expression.

      How can Carboxytherapy give back a youthful appearance and help the ageing process?

      Read More

      There are different types of skin and we all age differently. No matter how well we look after our skin, the inevitable ageing will take place. One can maintain the “perfect skin” by keeping one’s skin firm and taught with collagen to avoid the inevitable sagging that takes place over time. Tighter, firmer skin supports the face and prevents the other soft tissues in our face and the muscles from sagging.

      The new concept today is to start with rejuvenation treatments Carboxy Mesoglow Facials as soon as possible so as to avoid or postpone surgical solutions for as long as possible. 4-6 treatments are needed 2 to 4 weeks apart. At least one yearly cycle is recommended.

      What can one expect before and after a Carboxy Mesoglow Facial?

      Read More

      During the treatment the Carboxy treatment can be likened to a dull throb or pressure. This mild discomfort lasts 2 to 4 minutes. CO2 is 20 times more soluble than oxygen and it is easily and quickly diffused from the injection site to the surrounding tissue. After a treatment the gas is totally reabsorbed within 5 minutes and the treated area will raise, turn slightly red as oxygen perfused into the area.

      After the procedure, there is no pain, just possibly a crackling sensation under the skin that lasts until the gas is excreted. The area should not be in water for about 4 hours. The only side effect is that mild bruising can occur if one hits a vessel with the needle. However, this only happens in around two percent of patients. Patients can return to work immediately after treatment, a truly walk in, walk out procedure.

      How many treatments are necessary?

      Read More

      Typically, on the face 4 to 6 treatments of Carboxy Mesoglow Facial sessions are required. Clients have a 60 minute session every 2 to 4 weeks and each treatment is accumulative. Maintaining beauty isn't a sprint-it's a marathon. Rather than waiting until their problems are bothersome again, patients must appreciate that maintenance goes a long way and a touch up session every 6 to 8 months should maintain anti ageing results.

      What is the cost of Carboxy Mesoglow Facial?

      Read More
      With Carboxy Mesoglow Facials, the prospects of luminous skin, a more defined eye area, a sleeker jaw line and open brow area are all now possible but this usually comes at price. At Skin Renewal we have recognized this problem and have come up with a customized solution to make it more affordable for the average person by combining the Carboxy Mesoglow Facial in an affordable package over a period of time.

      After a medical consultation, every client is provided with a fully customised yearlong solution dependent on the patient’s age, relevant skin problem, budget and expectations. The effects of each treatment is accumulative meaning that the results of each previous treatment is improved with each additional treatment and the best results come down the line when new collagen that is stimulated remodels and a further tightening effect is noticed.

      Is a Carboxy Mesoglow Facial safe?

      Read More

      At Skin Renewal hundreds of Carboxy Mesoglow facials have been safely performed. The methods and indications for performing the Carboxy Mesoglow Facial have changed since the introduction of medical protocols and intensive in house training at Skin Renewal. Innovative built in safety devices of the CE approved CDT machine also ensure safety of each procedure. A professional team lead by a doctor does the initial consultation to evaluate whether the patient has any contra indications for doing a Carboxy Mesoglow Facial. Certain pre existing medical conditions are precluded from having a Carboxytherapy and Transdermal procedure and thus it is essential to have a doctor’s consultation before the treatment.

      The discomfort has decreased because the gas is heated during the procedure and all unwanted air is drained, as an important additional safety precaution. Because CO2 is non-embolic, it is very safe if done with the correct protocols and a pre treatment medical consultation with a doctor. Carbon dioxide is a natural by product of the body and is not toxic even in elevated doses.
      After a treatment the gas is totally reabsorbed within 5 minutes and the area treated returns to normal. Widely distributed in Europe and South America, Carboxytherapy has been used safely and effectively on 30 000 + patients with no complications against conditions as persistent and difficult to treat such as cellulite, psoriasis, diabetic ulcers, venous insufficiency and stretch marks.
      Carboxytherapy has safely been used for many years and in thousands of patients in laparoscopic operations where large volumes of CO2 are used to insufflate the abdomen. The dosage utilized for aesthetic and therapeutic treatment is less 100cc/min and does not exceed more than 1,000cc of CO2.

      In normal physiology, our cells produce CO2 as a by-product of cellular respiration, the process of breaking down sugars or fats with oxygen.
