Can A CDT Co2 Portable Carboxytherapy Machine Be Used For Stretch Marks?
Question: Hello, I have purchased a CDT Co2 portable carboxytherapy machine for stretch marks and I want to know if I can use it. I want to know the downside of it, how long I can use it and how many treatments will I need. I want to know if I will really see results on my stretch marks if not I don't want to waste my time on it. I don't have money for laser. I have nasty stretch mark on my chest, arms and dorso.
Brief Answer:
Regarding stretch marks
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.
There are different proposed treatments for stretch marks which claim varying degrees of improvement but none of them erases them completely. CARBOXYTHERAPY too is claimed to improve the appearance of stretch marks to an extent. A session of CARBOXYTHERAPY can be 15-30minutes long, depending on the area of treatment, once in every 2 weeks. There is no limit to the number of sessions. You can take as many sessions as you want or feel you require. It is claimed to be safe with transient side effects like redness, swelling lasting a few hours.
Regards
