Carboxytherapy

The treatment goal The Carboxytherapy Procedure

This treatment injects tiny amounts of carbon dioxide just beneath the skin’s surface in an attempt to to rupture fat cells. The thought is that once the liquefied fat is carried away from the treated area (and eventually out of your body in your urine), the skin’s contour may change. I personally have not seen this used and have not seen anything in the scientific literature supporting it. 

The carbon dioxide is carefully administered from a tank connected by a plastic tube to a machine that regulates the speed of the gas. Another tube links the regulator to the tiny sterilized needle that the physician holds as he or she injects the gas into the skin.
