questions

Is Carboxytherapy for sexual rejuvenation available at all Body Renewal branches?
What causes sexual dysfunction in women?

Often menopause brings with it the atrophy or degradation of the tissues around the perineum, as well as a loss of function, tissue turgor, sensation and the reduced response to stimulus.

How does Carboxytherapy for sexual dysfunction work?

This new treatment offered by Body Renewal uses Carboxytherapy for vaginal rejuvenation. Carboxytherapy uses 5 to 6 micro injections of carbon dioxide in the area to stimulate the tissues to grow new capillaries. This replenishes the blood supply, improves circulation to the area and thereby restores the function of the tissues and increases the amount of tissue in the treatment area. The effects of each treatment are accumulative.

Is a consultation with a doctor necessary?

A medical consultation with one of the Body Renewal doctors is essential to ensure a complete evaluation before any treatment is started.

What can one expect during a treatment with Carboxytherapy?

Treatments are tolerated well and take around 5-10 minutes. Slight discomfort can be experienced with each injection, most patients describe the sensation as being warm and tingling in the treated area. Immediately after the treatment the area appears swollen, due to the CO2 gas, but will be resolved within 30 minutes. This is a lunchtime procedure and one can return to normal activity immediately after the treatment. The effects of each treatment are accumulative.

How any treatments are necessary?

Depending on the severity of the problem, six to ten weekly treatments and then maintenance of once a month is recommended to maintain results.

Who are the treatments performed by?

This highly sensitive procedure is performed by one of the trained doctors at Skin Renewal. Treatments are well tolerated and take around 5 to 10 minutes to do. It is reported that four to six weekly treatments are all that the area needs to restore functionality (in very severe cases up to 10 treatments may be required).

Are maintenance treatments necessary?

Once the patient is satisfied with the result (usually after 6 to 10 treatments) a maintenance treatment once every 4 weeks is recommended to maintain results.

What results can one expect?

The following conditions may be improved with Carboxy treatments;

  • Improved cosmetic appearance as tissue regains plumpness
  • Improved vaginal tone and improved functionality of the area e.g.; lubrication due to increased circulation to the area.
  • Less daily dryness and irritation due to improved circulation.
  • Treated patients become less prone to thrush
  • Improved sensation to the area with possible heightened orgasm and libido
  • Improved urinary symptoms viz stress incontinence, urgency, effective voiding, improved PMS symptoms
  • Less hot flushes due to increased localized oestrogen
Is Carboxytherapy safe?

Carboxytherapy started in France and has been widely used for over 70 years with no major side effects. Its aesthetic use is now common in places such as Europe and is now gaining popularity in South Africa. Skin Renewal is a leading provider of Carboxytherapy in South Africa. Skin Renewal offers well-priced, safe Carboxytherapy treatments administered by qualified and highly trained therapists and Doctors.
