Carboxytherapy of the scalp is an innovative method of combating the problem of excessive hair loss and thinning. The use of medical carbon dioxide and its application to the scalp by a trichologist using a thin needle allows you to stimulate the creation of new blood vessels, intensive stimulation of metabolism, improvement of micro and macrocirculation and improvement of skin elasticity.
Such action guarantees intensive nourishment of hair follicles and hair roots, as well as stimulation of empty hair follicles to produce new hair. The result is the inhibition of excessive hair loss and the growth of new hair.
Carboxytherapy is a minimally invasive method, natural and 100% safe. The procedure is performed using a modern, special medical device. An experienced trichologist additionally guarantees safety.
On the other hand, the latest technology of heating carbon dioxide in the carboxytherapy treatment makes the therapy painless, does not require any preparation from the Patient, and immediately after the treatment, you can return to daily activities.
Also noteworthy is the fact that scalp carboxytherapy can be used both as a stand-alone treatment and in combination with other techniques. It gives great results when combined with needle mesotherapy or platelet-rich plasma. As a result, patients can enjoy inhibition of hair loss and stimulation of hair growth.
Carbocription, which involves injecting medical carbon dioxide under the skin, causes blood vessels to dilate, improving microcirculation and stimulating hair follicles to grow. Applied subcutaneously, carbon dioxide increases blood flow, which in turn causes the release of oxygen atoms by the hemoglobin found in red blood cells. The result is strong oxygenation and nourishment of the hair follicles, the activation of cleansing and cell reconstruction processes.
Carboxytherapy of the scalp in Warsaw is an innovative treatment that uses carbon dioxide to stimulate circulation and improve the condition of the hair. The treatment supports the regeneration of hair follicles and stimulates the growth of new hair.
Patients notice an improvement in hair density after a series of carboxytherapy treatments.
people with androgenetic alopecia experience a reduction in hair loss.
Carboxytherapy is an effective method supporting the treatment of hair loss, which improves blood circulation in the scalp and provides essential nutrients to the hair bulbs. It is a safe and painless solution for people with scalp problems.
Indications
Carboxytherapy treatment can be performed as an adjunct in the treatment of various types of alopecia – including androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata.
It is also used in the treatment of hair loss of various causes (stress, hormonal disorders), and as a treatment that accelerates hair regrowth or to improve the condition of hair. It is also a solution for those with thin, thinning hair.
Contraindications
It is worth remembering that scalp carboxytherapy treatment, like any other, has certain contraindications to its implementation. These include. Pregnancy and breastfeeding, cancer, cancerous diseases, respiratory and lung diseases, or heart and circulatory diseases. Doctors will also not undertake the procedure in cases of active liver disease, phlebitis and those suffering from Willebrand’s disease and hemophilia.
The procedure is also not performed in patients with advanced anemia, epilepsy, glaucoma and herpes. The therapy also cannot be performed in people who are taking anticoagulants, anticoagulants, anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants and aesthetic treatments (up to 3 weeks after the procedure).
How to prepare for the procedure?
To prepare for carboxytherapy of the scalp, it is worth remembering a few steps. First of all, you should consult a doctor to discuss your expectations and rule out contraindications such as pregnancy or skin diseases. A few days before the procedure, you should avoid anticoagulants and intensive peelings, which may irritate the skin. The skin should be clean, moisturized and free from styling products. After the treatment, it is worth planning time for regeneration, as the skin may be slightly red or swollen. Following your doctor’s recommendations will ensure the best results.
What does the procedure look like?
The scalp carboxytherapy treatment does not require any special preparation from the patient. On the day of starting therapy, it is recommended to wash your head. Before qualifying patients for carboxytherapy, the trichologist always refers them to a medical consultation, during which specialist tests are performed to help rule out possible contraindications. The doctor can also examine the patient’s scalp and assess the condition of the lesions.
The therapy is carried out with the help of special apparatus. With the help of a thin needle, carbon dioxide is injected intradermally, and its amount is adjusted individually to the patient’s needs. During the treatment, you may feel a slight sting, slight pain, itching and pushing under the skin. However, this is a temporary phenomenon that lasts for several minutes. The duration of the treatment depends on the amount of gas applied.
However, it is worth remembering that in order for the procedure to bring the expected results, the device with which it is performed must use certified medical carbon dioxide. The equipment should also be able to regulate the gas flow rate and deliver heated carbon dioxide to reduce pain.
In order to enjoy the desired effects, it is recommended to perform 8-10 treatments. The first 4 series are carried out weekly, the next 4 series every 14 days, and the next 4 series every 1 month. Doctors also perform preventive treatments every 3 months. Such selected series guarantee lasting results.
”Carboxytherapy treatment of the scalp is based on the use of carbon dioxide. The therapy involves applying this gas to the patient's subcutaneous tissue, using a special device. As a result, the vessels get better blood supply and oxygenation, which in turn results in better nourishment. In turn, the scalp improves microcirculation and accelerates the process of cell regeneration, including collagen.

Convalescence after the procedure
After completing the therapy, the Patient should refrain from sunbathing and solarium at least 7 days after the procedure. You should also limit the use of the sauna, hot baths, jacuzzi and swimming pool. It is also recommended to stop physical exertion within 24 hours. You should also refrain from washing your head and touching the treated areas for a few days.
Scalp carboxytherapy in a nutshell
Effects
Carbon dioxide, thanks to its properties, gives oxygenating and antioxidant effects. It is a physiological gas that, when injected subcutaneously, causes increased oxygenation of the surrounding tissues at the injection site. It is the result of an immediate reaction of the body that interprets the carboxytherapy process as an oxygen deficiency. In the tissues, carbon dioxide reacts with water molecules and the formation of carbonic acid lowers the pH of the surrounding tissues. As a result, the rate of gas exchange increases. Intracutaneously applied carbon dioxide also causes small vessels to widen and stimulate the production of new capillaries.
Repeating the treatment leads to the formation of new blood vessels, increased blood flow, improved blood supply as well as increased oxygenation and nourishment of the hair follicles. Increasing oxygenation in tissues, on the other hand, improves cell metabolism, increases metabolic processes and the possibilities of cell growth and reproduction.
Carbon dioxide also contributes to the stimulation of regenerative processes. Injections of this gas cause skin inflammation, which increases the synthesis of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin gains regeneration and nourishment. On the other hand, lowering the ph increases the elasticity of collagen fibers. It is also worth noting that the administration of CO2 brings about a skin repair process.
The procedure itself is minimally invasive and does not require convalescence. The effects are visible after a series of treatments, the number of which is adjusted to the individual needs of the patient. The best results can be seen after 3 – 4 treatments in the form of reducing hair loss, accelerating hair growth and obtaining new regrowth, thickening of the hair shaft, and improvement of the condition of the scalp. The big advantage is the fact that carboxytherapy can be combined with needle mesotherapy and platelet-rich plasma. The trichologist always informs the patient about the possibility of combining the treatments and supplementing them with home treatment.
Immediately after the procedure, a slight bulge and redness may occur under the patient’s scalp due to the expansion of blood vessels. However, these symptoms disappear 30 minutes after the treatment.
