Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic medicine treatment for dermatology.
It has a necrotizing effect on fat tissue fat cells, stimulates blood flow, improves the skin's elasticity and reduces the appearance of cellulite.
[3] Carboxytherapy leads to a temporary decrease in subcutaneous fat but has shown to reoccur again after a 28 week period.
[6] Carboxytherapy was discovered in 1932 in Royat, France after patients had been soaking in carbon-rich pools with wounds healing and circulatory diseases improving such as Raynaud's syndrome.
In the 1950s French doctors began injecting carbon dioxide for treating cellulite.
