Carboxy Therapy
Carboxy Therapy has been used medical aesthetics for decades and involves the use of a specialised device to inject small volumes of the medical grade carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the epidermis of scalp. Carboxy Therapy improves circulation at the injection site as red blood cells to rush to the area. When the blood cells reach the location, they pick up the carbon dioxide and release oxygen, therefore increasing circulation to the tissues. The vasodilating effect of Carboxy Therapy results in increased nutrients to the scalp and hair follicle.
