Procedure
Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical procedure and it is performed in Virtual Skin Spa’s office conveniently located near 500 North Broadway, Jericho, NY 11753. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is infiltrated into the subcutaneous tissue through a tiny 30G needle (0.3mm in diameter). From the injection point, the carbon dioxide diffuses easily into adjacent tissues.
This procedure is virtually painless; you may feel a little ache sensation for a few seconds. Redness and swelling disappear in 30 minutes. Usually, 6-12 treatments are needed, spaced one or two weeks apart. Carboxytherapy takes about 15-30 minutes depending on the area treated.
