I’ll be totally sincere with you, the very first time I heard the phrase “carboxy” I had a big frown on my forehead… I really didn’t know what the term meant and was considering anything from a box shaped car to something that vaguely resembles an expression I should have remembered from high school science class!

So for those of you out there who have pretty much the same bewildered look on your face right now, herewith a little more information:
Carboxy is a revolutionary (relatively new) method of significantly improving the appearance of cellulite. This is accomplished by improving local tissue metabolism and perfusion. I’m sure that most of you, particularly the female readers, are now sitting forward and looking at your computer screen, wanting to know more…

Firstly, you can relax - it is not a surgical technique. A small needle (roughly 0.3mm in diameter) is used to infiltrate carbon dioxide (CO2) into subcutaneous tissue. This carbon dioxide then swiftly spreads out into nearby tissues.
Is it dangerous? No, it’s not! CO2 is created by our tissue each and every day. It is purely a byproduct of metabolism. CO2 is transported in your bloodstream and the excess is exhaled through the lungs, so it is not a harmful substance. It is therefore a safe treatment with no negative effects.

So why would you want carbon dioxide injected into your tissues? Carbon dioxide kills fat cells! There we go, the secret is revealed! Secondly CO2 brings about dilation of blood vessels that allows for stronger blood circulation to the area, which results in an increase in oxygen. This will consequently reduce the accumulating of fluid between the cells. This leaves you with a decrease in fat cells and firmer subcutaneous tissue.
This sounds quite agonizing, right? Not at all! You possibly can experience a light prickling sensation when the CO2 is being injected, but his will vanish in a couple of seconds. If can also be possible to experience a warmer sensation around the area where the CO2 was injected - this is 100% normal and is a result of the improved blood circulation.

Carboxy won’t deliver instant results. A noticable difference can in most cases be seen after 5 sessions and between 15 and 20 sessions might be needed to get rid of that unwanted orange peel skin. Sessions usually are quite short and will just take up 10 - 15 minutes of one’s day.

Keep in mind that your way of life has a big effect on fatty tissue. If you persist with your junk and fatty take-away meals and never get off your living room couch, the lumpy skin will return. If however you exercise and eat healthy, the carboxy results will last for a long time!

So if you’re looking to reduce that awful cellulite and end up getting a more younger looking skin, this might be a good procedure for you to consider! I’ll have to stop writing now so that I can phone my nearest health clinic and find out if they provide this wonderful treatment!
