Body carboxiyherapy

The carboxytherapy is the percutaneous and subcutaneous application of carbon dioxide with therapeutic and aesthetic purposes. The application of CO2 is made with a piece of equipment able of controlling the gas volume (cm3) with a constant pressure during an established period of time. The gas must be of anaerobic medicinal type, with a 99.9% of purity. This therapy has been used since 1930 at the thermals of Royat, France, where the beneficial effect of CO2 produced by thermal waters was discovered. There, a group of cardiologists started to use the technique to treat peripheral, organic and functional arthropaties and in Argentina, Dr. Dicio talks about subcutaneous carbon dioxide. In 1953, Dr. Jean Bapriste Romuef published a work with 20 years of experience on the application of subcutanean CO2. Today, the carboxytherapy technique has been improved through an equipment that can distribute CO2 in a controlled way (gas doses and distribution) and the methodology has been introduced in aesthetics medicine for the treatment of cellulite, localized adiposity, the reduction of stretch marks and flaccidity
