Over 80% of women are affected by cellulite. However, we are no longer helpless in our struggle for toned, smooth skin and flesh. The secret lies in choosing the right cosmetics and professional treatments. Desirably, ones that can deliver carboxytherapy-like effect. What does that exactly mean?
Cellulite and stretchmarks under the microscope
These two terms tend to be mixed up, a thorough misunderstanding for various reasons. Cellulite is commonly referred to as the “orange peel” effect that occurs as a result of changes in subcutaneous tissue. The proportions of adipose (fatty) and connective tissue get disrupted. This is accompanied by excessive storage of water, metabolic products, and unevenly distributed adipose tissue. As a result, nodules, lumps and dimples occur, manifesting as the loathed “orange peel”.
Stretchmarks, on the other hand, are characteristic spindle-like lines on given areas of the body, somewhat similar to scarring. They are caused by excessive stretching of the skin and the resulting damage of collagen fibres. They most typically arise during pregnancy, accelerated adolescent growth period, and as a result of aggressive bodybuilding .
Both types of skin lesions are every woman’s nightmare, with a very negative effect on our self-esteem. Those of you struggling with either or both of these problems will be happy to find out that Arkana’s latest cosmetic and treatment line with carboxytherapy-like effect may well be the solution you have been seeking.
Your body in excellent shape
For our body to look great, we definitely need exercise and varied, balanced diet, but also well-matched cosmetic products able to specifically target our problems. Also, specialist dermoaesthetic treatments like carboxytherapy can really help. Carboxytherapy consists in subcutaneous application of carbon dioxide with a special device (Arkana recommends CARBOregen) that controls the pressure and the flow of the gas. The therapy has proved effective in management of both cellulite and stretchmarks. The natural lipolysis process stimulated in adipose cells by carbon dioxide allows to banish fatty deposits to smooth out and tone the skin.
To enhance the results of salon-based therapy, Arkana has created the new Carbo Therapy MD estetic line. Carbo Body Shaper, a body-sculpting balm with carbo-like effect is rich in ximenynic acid for its body shaping and sculpting properties, arginine (naturally found in human skin and connective tissue) to help keep the skin elastic and smooth, caffeine for its slimming and detoxifying effect, and retinol. Retinol revitalizes the skin and prevents its aging. It also thickens the epidermis, thus reducing the visibility of cellulite. Owing to its carefully selected and well-balanced ingredients aimed at boosting the skin’s regenerative processes, the balm delivers results similar to carboxytherapy treatments.
The body-sculpting balm may be used as a stand-alone product, or to enhance and maintain the results of carboxytherapy treatments. These two options combined will deliver optimum results. Your dream body, toned skin and boosted confidence are now all a matter of choice.
