The information contained on this page is from Carbomed. Carboxy is the subcutaneous administration of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) for therapeutic purposes. The gas is aministered by means of special equipment, acknowledged by the Italian Ministry of Health and certified throughout Europe as the only system capable of guaranteeing controlled, sterile and totally personalized administration. In practical terms, the equipment consists of a bottle of carbon dioxide gas connected to a computer that regulates gas dosage, injection volume and flow rate. This equipment is in turn connected to a tube in an extremely fine needle for administering the carbon dioxide through localized microinjections.

Carboxy has applications in these various fields,

• Vascular medicine
• Medical and Cosmetic surgery
• Dermatology
• Plastic Surgery

Carboxy can therefore be used both in solving cosmetic
imperfections and in medical therapy to cure real functional problems.
It also improves the skin's elasticity, has a lipolitic effect and has no
significant contraindications.

For Cellulite...

Cellulite and the characteristic irregularities of the adipose tissue is caused by changes in the microcirculation, meaning the network of small arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels in the connective tissue. If microcirculation is poor, capillaries tend to gradually close and prevent blood from circulating as before. This leads to tissue alteration, with the accumulation of "deposits" in the form of cushions and "orange peel skin". Carbon dioxide is capable of inverting this process. Injected locally, it has a vasodilator effect that allows the blood to flow again through capillaries that had gradually closed up. It also increases venous and lymphatic draining and breaks down excess adipose (fatty) tissue. The result is improved circulation, improved tissue oxygenation, breakdown and elimination of adipose deposits and reduced "cushions".

For Stretchmarks and Scars...

In addition to improving cutaneous circulation adn tissue oxygenation, carbon dioxide injection also acts on certain skin cells, fibroblasts, stimulating and correcting them to obtain anti-aging effects. Carboxy can even correct old surgical scars and stretchmarksby reducing their size, by stimulating fibroblasts to produce the elastic fobers adn collagen that makes the skin supple and compact and by making them less evident in color. Women commonly develop stretchmarks on their lower abdomen in the last months of pregnancy. They also affect adolescent females and young males. New stretchmarks are often red or purplish, mature stretchmarks are devoid of color. Growth spurts and sudden or excessive weight gain cause stretchmarks to form in young people. Women commonly get them on their breasts, thighs, hips and buttocks, young men often develop stretchmarks from participating in certain body-altering sports such as weightlifting or from the use of dangerous bodybuilding steroid drugs.
