VENUS BLISS FAQ
VENUS BLISS
-
WHAT IS CARBOXYTHERAPY?Initially popularized in Europe in the 1930s, gaseous carbon dioxide is injected to create a natural vasodilator. The blood vessels widen, increasing the transport of oxygen body tissues for cellular regeneration and anti- inflammatory effects. Carboxytherapy is the therapeutic use of CO2. When infused into the skin, CO2 immediately diffuses at the cutaneous and muscular microcirculatory levels, resulting in higher tissue oxygenation and neoangiogenesis.
-
WHAT IS THE MECHANISM OF ACTION?The energy necessary for cell division and cell activation is produced by the increase of oxygen.

-
How is this done?Micro charges of plasma energy are applied to the skin in a non-contact way via a wand. This causes sublimation of the tissue in very superficial levels, eliminating excess tissue and reducing or in some cases even eliminating wrinkles and saggy tissue.
-
Does is hurt?A topical anesthetic is applied to the area to be treated as the procedure can be a little uncomfortable. A slight burning sensation can be felt as the skin becomes heated. The anesthetic helps to make this treatment tolerable.
-
What does sublimation of the skin mean?When anything solid turns into gas without becoming a liquid first it is called sublimation. The plasma pen device works by targeting a micro beam of plasma energy onto the skin. This causes skin retraction and tightening around that area only. The sublimation of the skin cell causes immediate tightening and through the healing of the micro wound that is caused the body’s natural healing process produces more collagen to plump, tighten and firm the treated area. The treatment is so precise that only a 1-2mm treatment spot is created.

WHAT IS CARBOXYTHERAPY?Initially popularized in Europe in the 1930s, gaseous carbon dioxide is injected to create a natural vasodilator. The blood vessels widen, increasing the transport of oxygen body tissues for cellular regeneration and anti- inflammatory effects. Carboxytherapy is the therapeutic use of CO2. When infused into the skin, CO2 immediately diffuses at the cutaneous and muscular microcirculatory levels, resulting in higher tissue oxygenation and neoangiogenesis.
-
WHAT IS THE MECHANISM OF ACTION?The energy necessary for cell division and cell activation is produced by the increase of oxygen.
-

-
How is this done?Micro charges of plasma energy are applied to the skin in a non-contact way via a wand. This causes sublimation of the tissue in very superficial levels, eliminating excess tissue and reducing or in some cases even eliminating wrinkles and saggy tissue.
-
Does is hurt?A topical anesthetic is applied to the area to be treated as the procedure can be a little uncomfortable. A slight burning sensation can be felt as the skin becomes heated. The anesthetic helps to make this treatment tolerable.
-
What does sublimation of the skin mean?When anything solid turns into gas without becoming a liquid first it is called sublimation. The plasma pen device works by targeting a micro beam of plasma energy onto the skin. This causes skin retraction and tightening around that area only. The sublimation of the skin cell causes immediate tightening and through the healing of the micro wound that is caused the body’s natural healing process produces more collagen to plump, tighten and firm the treated area. The treatment is so precise that only a 1-2mm treatment spot is created.

CARBOXY CO2LIFT
-
WHAT IS CARBOXYTHERAPY?Initially popularized in Europe in the 1930s, gaseous carbon dioxide is injected to create a natural vasodilator. The blood vessels widen, increasing the transport of oxygen body tissues for cellular regeneration and anti- inflammatory effects. Carboxytherapy is the therapeutic use of CO2. When infused into the skin, CO2 immediately diffuses at the cutaneous and muscular microcirculatory levels, resulting in higher tissue oxygenation and neoangiogenesis.
-
WHAT IS THE MECHANISM OF ACTION?The energy necessary for cell division and cell activation is produced by the increase of oxygen.
-
WHAT IS CO2LIFT CARBOXYTHERAPY GEL?A PROFESSIONAL treatment created in 2015 that maximizes chair time and is proven to have similar plumping results to injections.* Beneficial to all surgical, aesthetic, medical, and aestheticians Powerful anti-aging and aesthetic solution designed for face, eyes, body and vagina.

-
How is this done?Micro charges of plasma energy are applied to the skin in a non-contact way via a wand. This causes sublimation of the tissue in very superficial levels, eliminating excess tissue and reducing or in some cases even eliminating wrinkles and saggy tissue.
-
Does is hurt?A topical anesthetic is applied to the area to be treated as the procedure can be a little uncomfortable. A slight burning sensation can be felt as the skin becomes heated. The anesthetic helps to make this treatment tolerable.
-
What does sublimation of the skin mean?When anything solid turns into gas without becoming a liquid first it is called sublimation. The plasma pen device works by targeting a micro beam of plasma energy onto the skin. This causes skin retraction and tightening around that area only. The sublimation of the skin cell causes immediate tightening and through the healing of the micro wound that is caused the body’s natural healing process produces more collagen to plump, tighten and firm the treated area. The treatment is so precise that only a 1-2mm treatment spot is created.
-
