Carboxytherapy for Hair loss Skin Renewal

Carboxytherapy for hair loss is a unique and innovative procedure offered at Skin Renewal. This treatment involves using a small mesotherapy needle to inject medical-grade CO2 gas into the scalp, targeting the active areas where hair follicle reproductive cells are located. This stimulates circulation and triggers the release of growth factors, rejuvenating the hair follicles to produce healthier hair. The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and suitable for all skin types with no downtime.

How Carboxytherapy Works

Carboxytherapy improves circulation at the injection site by enhancing the release of oxygen from red blood cells and eliminating CO2 from the body. This oxygenation promotes angiogenesis, nourishing hair follicles like laser hair rejuvenation. The CO2 injections cause vasodilation, opening up tiny blood vessels and increasing nutrient and vitamin delivery to the scalp, thus boosting hair growth and stabilizing hair loss. This natural hair loss treatment works exceptionally well with injected mesotherapy for enhanced results.

Patients typically notice a stabilization of hair loss after three months, increased growth of vellus hairs, and thinning hair after six months. Decreased shedding is also observed within the first three to six months. Those experiencing thinning hair or a receding hairline are encouraged to schedule a consultation to determine their candidacy for hair rejuvenation.

While Carboxytherapy is effective on its own, combining it with injected mesotherapy can provide long-lasting results. Multiple treatments are essential for achieving the best outcomes.

Safety and Popularity

Carboxytherapy originated in France and has been used safely for over 70 years with no significant side effects. Its aesthetic use is common in Europe and is gaining popularity in South Africa. Skin Renewal is a leading provider of Carboxytherapy in South Africa, offering well-priced, safe treatments administered by qualified and highly trained therapists under the supervision of a doctor.

Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss can result from heredity, male pattern baldness, diet, medications, postpartum changes, menopausal changes, and stress. Over time, hair follicles weaken when the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which disrupts nutrient binding to follicle cells. This leads to follicle weakening, shortening of the anagen (growth) stage, and prolongation of the telogen (resting) stage, causing thinning hair and hair loss. DHT accounts for 95% of hair loss cases. If hair follicles are still active or if hair loss is beginning, Carboxytherapy is an excellent option.

Ideal Candidates

The best candidates for Carboxytherapy are those who are in the early stages of hair loss or thinning hair. Early intervention can yield the most effective results.

I've been going to Skin Renewal in Parkhurst for many years and only have positive feedback. Total professionalism - from the moment you park your vehicle (welcomed by David), through to the ladies in reception (always greeting clients with a smile and warm hello) right through to the therapists. I've been treated by 3 therapists over the years and though they have different styles, each has a special touch to personalize the treatment and any specific requirements I may require. Very thorough ito products and not selling for the sake of selling but rather listen and understand before they recommend. And of course follow ups to check of you are happy with product. This place is a gem purely because of the people that work there.
