Carboxytherapy is an aesthetic treatment that consists of the application of injections of medicinal carbon dioxide under the skin to treat cellulite, stretch marks, localized fat and sagging skin. This is because injected carbon dioxide stimulates blood circulation, promoting tissue oxygenation.
This technique has several types of application. When applied to the face, it increases collagen production, while on the buttocks it reduces cellulite and localized fat, destroying fat cells, and can be used on the abdomen, flanks, arms and thighs.
Sessions are held weekly. Nowadays, it is very common to associate carboxytherapy with some other treatment in order to further enhance the results.
