How does CARBOXY THERAPY Work?
Skin cell turnover is one of the primary keys to skin health and beauty. As we age, the cycle of skin cell turnover slows, leading to clogged pores, dull skin, and loss of elasticity and firmness.
Skin cell turnover is spurred by metabolism, and metabolism is fueled by oxygen. Carbonic acid draws oxygen into the skin, helping to fuel metabolism and spark greater rates of skin cell turnover. Dr. MEDION SPAOXY MASKS are designed with three characteristics for skin rejuvenation in mind:
Vascular dilation: CO2 helps to dilate blood vessels
A system for trans-dermal delivery: Known as “DDS”, this system quickly and efficiently delivers CO2 through the skin barrier.
Improved oxygen transport: Known as the “bohr effect”, when more oxygen is delivered to skin cells, more metabolism begins to take place, causing the carbon dioxide pressure to increase, which in turn allows for more oxygen to be delivered.
In the Spaoxy Gel mask, the DDS delivers CO2 past the skin barrier to the capillary beds where it dilates blood vessels to increase circulation. The CO2 gas then promotes oxygen uptake by the skin cells, boosting cell metabolism and skin cell turnover.
