Carboxytherapy is a great aesthetic treatment to eliminate localized fat because it is scientifically proven to be effective in reducing fat folds after a few treatment sessions. This treatment consists in applying some injections of carbon dioxide in the belly, thighs, arms, flanks and lateral part of the back, for example.
This treatment is not indicated for weight loss because it has an effect in only a localized area and therefore is best suited for people who are within or very close to ideal weight with a body mass index up to 23. These people may appear thin but have a 'tire' of fat in the belly, flanks, triceps and in the bra line, for example. In this way the carboxitherapy is an excellent strategy to improve the body contour, of people apparently lean but with accumulated fat volume in certain regions of the body.

How carboxytherapy works
In the carboxytherapy the carbon dioxide introduced into the skin leads to increased blood flow and microcirculation, which increases local oxygenation, promotes cell renewal and promotes a small lesion in the coating of cells, which store fat, adipocytes, thereby fat falls into the bloodstream and can be spent as a source of energy.
Carboxitherapy also contributes to the elimination of toxins and release of fatty acids, reducing swelling and increases the collagen fibers that make the skin firmer, which is very effective in fighting flaccid skin.
Carboxytherapy results for localized fat
Carboxytherapy results for localized fat can be observed, on average, after the 7th treatment session. To potentiate and maintain these results it is recommended to perform a dietary reeducation and physical exercises regularly for good weight maintenance and cardiovascular health.
Sessions can be held 1 or 2 times a week, lasting 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the area to be treated.
Can a person gain weight again?
What has been observed in scientific studies is that although carboxytherapy contributes to localized fat reduction and reduction of measurements, adipocytes, which are fat cells, are not totally eliminated and many can regenerate.
So, if you continue to feed badly, with a diet rich in sugar, carbohydrates and fats, associated with a sedentary lifestyle, there may be a new accumulation of fat.
This indicates that carboxytherapy fulfills its purpose in eliminating localized but not definitive fat, and poor eating habits and lack of physical activity favor fat accumulation, and may therefore appear to have been ineffective, but .
Weight and body mass index do not change with the carboxitherapy, but the fat fold decreases, which can be proven through tests such as ultrasound. However, in order for it to not increase again one should adjust the diet and practice exercises at least 3 times a week.
