Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic medicine treatment. Carboxytherapy employs injections or transdermal application to infuse gaseous carbon dioxide below the skin into the subcutaneous tissue through a needle or skin. It has a necrotizing effect on fat tissue fat cells, stimulate blood flow, improve the skin's elasticity and reduce the appearance of cellulite[1] As of 2009, Carboxytherapy wasn't approved by the FDA.[2] It has also become a popular treatment for stretch marks.[3]
