CO2 / Carbonic Acid

What is carbonic acid therapy?

Carbonic Acid Therapy can help with a variety of health and wellness issues, as well as providing a natural alternative to cosmetic procedures. Although CO2 therapy is most commonly used in premium cosmetic and medical spas to treat cellulite, wrinkles, scars, and other skin conditions, it is much more effective as a complementary therapy to cardiovascular system treatment.

Carbonic Acid Therapy is a widespread therapy for helping the body rejuvenate for health, aesthetic, and pharmacological purposes. Carbonic Acid Therapy offers solutions for a higher quality of life, from improved cognitive function due to increased blood flow, to improved physical performance.

How does it work?

When carbon dioxide (CO2) is exposed to water or steam, it turns into carbonic acid (H2CO3). Baths or steam chambers can be used to administer carbonic acid treatment. When CO2 is introduced into a steam chamber or a sauna, it reacts with the highly excited H2O steam molecules, and a new chemical, Carbonic Acid H2CO3, is produced. Because of its highly soluble nature, it can easily penetrate our skin, enter into the bloodstream, increasing the ability of blood, muscles, and skin to absorb oxygen. This is commonly known as the Bohr Effect.

What are the benefits of CO2 therapy?

Carbonic Acid Therapy produces results that are highly sought after by top medical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic scientists across the world.

  • The Bohr Effect, as previously mentioned, increases the amount of energy produced by the body in order for it to survive, defend, and develop itself. CO2 treatment improves oxygen flow in the muscles, organs, brain, and skin at the cellular level.

  • Sedation of the Central Nervous System is one of its modes of action. As a result, CO2 treatment naturally relaxes us, decreases stress, and restores our health.
  • It has a natural anti-inflammatory impact, as well as pain relief.
  • Another advantage of carbonic acid treatment is its ability to dissolve fat.
  • CO2 treatment allows functionally closed capillaries to be reactivated.
  • Warmth receptors in the skin are stimulated, whereas cold receptors are inhibited.
  • Carbonic Acid Therapy has been proved to improve your cardiovascular system, according to many studies. It has a high effectiveness and responsiveness to the heart and blood vessels, and it is known to enhance blood circulation and help reduce the risk of vascular disorders.Hypertension, diabetes, coronary problems, and mild vascular insufficiency are some of the illnesses for which it can be a helpful supplement in treatment.
  • Carbonic acid treatment also briefly flushes the skin to a healthy pink color due to the vasodilation of blood vessels. It also works as a strong cleanser, irrigating the skin and washing impurities away. The tone, texture, and bright, vivid look aren’t the only things that are improved. Scars, stretch marks, and cellulite reduction are some of the other visible benefits.

Who can benefit from this type of treatment?

Carbonic acid treatment is beneficial to anybody. The treatment may be favorably accepted by everyone because it is a natural therapy that is non-invasive, has no side effects or immune suppression, and has several positive effects. CO2 treatment enhances anyone`s health condition, whether they are an adult, an elderly man or woman, or an athlete.

Of course, before any therapy is given, a medical checkup will be performed in our clinic. Our internal medicine specialist, Dr. Adrina Feher, will examine you, and the CO2 treatment will be administered and monitored based on her professional judgment.
