This is a guide to Carboxy therapy, compiled by Dr. Choi Byeong-geun of SHINE U Clinic Konkuk (3 minutes walk from Konkuk Univ. Station, Exit 1).
As the weather gets warmer, interest in body contouring increases. When you work in the same position for a long time, fat can easily accumulate in specific areas, and it takes time to address this with exercise or diet alone. Today, we will summarize body and skin care treatments that are frequently inquired about in the spring.
Why are localized areas difficult to manage?
Localized areas such as the upper arms, inner thighs, and abdomen require more time and effort to improve.
- It is easy to feel limitations with just regular exercise or diet control.
- It is often difficult to manage consistently in a busy daily life.
- The approach varies depending on the area and condition.
The first step is to establish a plan tailored to your condition based on a precise diagnosis.
Methods used for body contouring
There are several methods for body contouring.
- Carboxy therapy is known as a method that uses medical carbon dioxide to target localized areas.
- It works on cellulite and fat to help excrete waste products.
- Injection therapy consisting of ingredients that help break down fat may also be considered.
Both methods help improve blood circulation, so they are sometimes used together. It is best to confirm the appropriate method for your area and condition through a consultation with Dr. Choi Byeong-geun. If you are curious about body contouring, please inquire via chat.
Addressing acne and scars together
When there is excessive sebum secretion or accumulated dead skin cells, bacteria can multiply, leading to inflammation around the pores and easily spreading to become skin troubles. An approach that addresses both lesions and scars together can be helpful.
- Capri Laser works on the sebaceous glands to sterilize and help normalize the stratum corneum.
- Management that addresses facial redness and remaining scars together may also be combined.
- The approach varies depending on the condition of the lesions and scars.
Summary
In spring, many people look into both body and skin care. It is important to determine the appropriate direction for your condition based on a precise diagnosis. If you have any questions, please feel free to inquire via chat consultation.
