Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial

As we age, our imperfections turn into multi-layered problems; Clínica Privé’s Anti Ageing & Growth factor facial also known a the Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial is one of the most effective non-ablative skin rejuvenation solutions available and involves combining clinical applications viz. HydraFacial MD with a transdermal Mesotherapy of award winning Growth Factors, Peptides, Amino Acids, Co Factors, Vitamins and Nucleic Acids which are all essential for the building blocks of healthy skin: viz. collagen. Clínica Privé’s Anti Ageing & Growth factor facial presents a powerful solution for the most in demand, fastest growing procedures with no downtime and can be done on all skin types. The full effect of each treatment takes approximately 3 months to manifest with skin rejuvenation improving over the next 9 months.

What is the Carboxy-MesoGLOW Anti Ageing & Growth Factor Facial?

A Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial is an innovative rejuvenating facial which includes the face, neck and décolleté and consists of the following:

• An alpha Hydroxy Acid peel to the face, neck and décolleté
  
• Mesotherapy which includes a cocktail of growth factors, peptides, vitamins and hyaluronic acid to the face, neck and décolleté
  
• Carboxytherapy rejuvenation of the eyes, face, neck and décolleté- 16 areas included.

Four to six treatments are needed every 4-6 weeks for dramatic skin rejuvenation, an open brow expression and a sleeker jawline.

How does Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial work?

As we age, subcutaneous capillaries become dormant with decreasing cells of oxygen; this combined with environmental stresses and other variables, inhibits the ability of cells to regenerate and function properly and the skin slowly loses its elasticity and collagen. By the age 30, oxygen levels in your skin drop by 25% and 50% by age 40. The body naturally gets its oxygen through basic breathing, but factors like pollution reduce the levels. The body will first utilize oxygen in the major organs and lastly go to the skin. When the skin doesn't get enough oxygen it becomes more prone to aging, acne, redness, and irritation and age spots. The Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial resurfaces, reoxygenates, rehydrates and tightens skin. After a series of four to six treatments visible skin rejuvenation, an open brow and sleeker jawline, neck and décolleté can be expected all resulting from a combination of the following treatments

• A superficial alpha hydroxy chemical peel is a quick, no downtime procedures that renews the skin by lifting dead cells off the surface of your skin and stimulating metabolism of the cells underneath. With a series of alpha hydroxy chemical peels you can quickly achieve substantial improvement in the appearance of superficial lines and uneven pigmentation, while making your skin look and feel softer, smoother, and more radiant and rehydrated. Acne scars and enlarged pores may become less noticeable, and acne breakouts may be reduced. (see Alpha Hydroxy Peel)
  
• Carboxytherapy infuses CO 2 just beneath the skin’s surface; the body interprets this as an oxygen deficit and responds by increasing blood flow and growth factors such as VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor) for example encourages production of new blood vessels. This provides a surge of oxygen and nutrients to the treated area and improves circulation, resulting in cell restoration. Increased oxygen concentration also improves the water retention or oedema in the area. The treatment has no downtime and a single session can take between fifteen minutes and an hour. In short, Carboxytherapy is a simple and safe procedure for beautiful, younger looking skin.
• For those with a fear of needles, Transdermal Mesotherapy is the newest and most innovative technology to administer a drug solution to a patient and uses tmt system® technology. At Clínica Privé for anti ageing benefits we use a combination of award winning growth factors, peptides, amino acids, vitamins, nucleic acids and co-factors These combinations present in the cocktail stimulate the production of collagen and elastin so that the dermis is strengthened thereby improving skin tone and texture. For pigmentation, patented pigmentation inhibiting peptides are used to improve hormonal pigmentation and a powerful anti oxidant Thioredoxin mops up all the free radicals thus preserving existing collagen

What areas and problems are treated with the Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial?

Typical problem areas treated are:

• Dark Circles are improved by increasing the oxygenation of this poorly perfused area
  
• Eye Bags are reduced by skin tightening and modest fat reduction (see before & after photos)
  
• Crow's Feet Wrinkles are reduced due to collagen stimulation
  
• Hooded eyes are modestly lifted due to new collagen remodeling and contraction down the line.
  
• Skin texture improves due to of collagen stimulation
  
• Sleep Lines are improved due to new collagen stimulation on the Face, neck and décolleté
• A modest brow lift due to skin rejuvenation and tightening on the brow
  

• Skin wrinkling improves due to collagen stimulation
  
• Lip wrinkling improves due to collagen stimulation
  
• A modest jowl lift due to skin rejuvenation and tightening on the brow
  
• Crepey necks improve due to collagen stimulation ( normally a very difficult area to treat)
  
• Double chin is reduced due to fat reduction and skin tightening
  
• Fat or Flabby cheeks are modestly reduced due to fat reduction and skin tightening
  
• Wrinkled ear lobes improves due to collagen stimulation
  
• Wrinkled Décolleté rejuvenation due to collagen stimulation
  
• Pigmentation is improved due to the effects of the alpha hydroxyl acid peel and pigment reducing peptides present in the mesotherapy solution
  
• Brightening of the skin due to collagen stimulation
  
• Skin resurfacing due to the combined effects of the glycolic peel, caroxytherapy and mesotherapy.

When should one start a Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial?

As one age, the skin’s elasticity declines dramatically and gravity constantly pulls on our faces. Previously there was no alternative to surgical face lifts and eye lifts or blepharoplasties. Both areas were very difficult area to treat non-surgically. Now with the advent of novel treatments such as the Carboxy-MesoGLOW facial, virtually any patient in their thirties or above can be a candidate for a little tightening and firming around the eye, brow and jowl area and the younger the patient the better the result. Eight out of ten patients get noticeable improvement in skin laxity around the eyes after the second treatment of the Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial and most will see an improvement in skin color, luminosity and texture.

In addition, for those patients who are nervous about the effects of Botox®, new technologies such as Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial offer an alternative to rejuvenation and improvement of crow’s feet and a more open eyed expression.

How can Carboxytherapy give back a youthful appearance and help the ageing process?

There are different types of skin and we all age differently. No matter how well we look after our skin, the inevitable ageing will take place. One can maintain the “perfect skin” by keeping one’s skin firm and taught with collagen to avoid the inevitable sagging that takes place over time. Tighter, firmer skin supports the face and prevents the other soft tissues in our face and the muscles from sagging.

The new concept today is to start with rejuvenation treatments Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facials as soon as possible so as to avoid or postpone surgical solutions for as long as possible. 4-6 treatments are needed 2 to 4 weeks apart. At least one yearly cycle is recommended.

Can a Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial be combined with other treatments?

At Clínic Privé the Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial is our signature non surgical laser face lift for best non surgical face lifting results.

Separately each clinical application presents a powerful solution for the most in demand, fastest growing procedures with no downtime. This combination is one of the most widely used and most effective methods of achieving a significant aesthetic improvement which includes the face, neck and décolleté.

What can one expect before and after a Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial?

During the treatment the Carboxytherapy treatment can be likened to a dull throb or pressure. This mild discomfort lasts 2 to 4 minutes. CO2 is 20 times more soluble than oxygen and it is easily and quickly diffused from the injection site to the surrounding tissue. After a treatment the gas is totally reabsorbed within 5 minutes and the treated area will raise, turn slightly red as oxygen perfused into the area.

After the procedure, there is no pain, just possibly a crackling sensation under the skin that lasts until the gas is excreted. The area should not be in water for about 4 hours. The only side effect is that mild bruising can occur if one hits a vessel with the needle. However, this only happens in around two percent of patients. Patients can return to work immediately after treatment, a truly walk in, walk out procedure.

How many treatments are necessary?

Typically, on the face 4 to 6 treatments of Carboxy-MesoGLOW Facial sessions are required. Clients have a 60 minute session every 2 to 4 weeks and each treatment is accumulative. Maintaining beauty isn't a sprint-it's a marathon. Rather than waiting until their problems are bothersome again, patients must appreciate that maintenance goes a long way and a touch up session every 6 to 8 months should maintain anti ageing results.
