CARBOXYTHERAPY FOR BREAKING DOWN FAT

It is a procedure in which carbon dioxide is injected into fatty tissue to dilate blood vessels, increase blood circulation and oxygenate the tissue; as a result, metabolism is stimulated and localised fat and cellulite are reduced.

HOW IS THE TREATMENT PERFORMED?

The skin is disinfected and a sterile needle is inserted through a tube connected to the gas warming apparatus. CO₂ enters the tissue through the tube. The procedure is generally not painful; sometimes, there is a burning discomfort.

We use CARBO2 HP Acea Medica.

HOW MANY REPETITIONS ARE NECESSARY?

8–10 repetitions are recommended every 7–14 days.

THE SUCCESS OF THE PROCEDURE

To achieve the desired results, more repetitions are required, along with the appropriate diet and exercise.

It is not recommended for people with embolism, gas gangrene, thrombosis, respiratory, cardiac, hepatic or renal failure, unregulated blood pressure, anaemia, inflammation of the vein or skin in the area of the puncture, previous stroke, pregnancy, or if taking acetazolamide and other carbonic anhydrase inhibitors or metformin.

The procedure is generally safe; bruising at the puncture site, bleeding, pain and, in some cases, gas embolism are possible.
