How long does carboxytherapy take to work for stretch marks?

Stretch marks are areas where the skin has stretched and its supporting structure has changed. Carboxytherapy uses small injections of carbon dioxide to create a local treatment response. The skin’s remodeling process takes time, and newer red or purple marks may behave differently from older pale marks. Colour, depth, body location and the skin’s healing response all influence how noticeable a change becomes.

Follow the provider’s instructions for keeping injection points clean and for returning to exercise or products. Attend reviews so the clinician can compare the marks consistently and adjust the plan if needed. Discuss your skin tone, tendency to form raised scars, pregnancy or breastfeeding, active rash, and previous treatments. Ask whether the goal is less contrast, smoother texture, or both.

Call the clinic for worsening pain, spreading redness, warmth, discharge, marked swelling, or a wound that is not settling. Seek urgent care for fever with a deteriorating area or breathing difficulty.

Which type and age of stretch mark are we treating? When will progress be reviewed and photographed? What result is realistic for the colour and texture of my marks?
