Carboxitherapy is a great aesthetic treatment to eliminate localized fat, because the carbon dioxide applied in the region is able to promote the exit of fat from the cells responsible for its storage, the adipocytes, helping to eliminate localized fat. This type of treatment can be used to combat the localized fat present in the belly, thighs, arms, flanks, glutes and lateral part of the back.
The results of carboxitherapy for localized fat usually appear after the 3rd treatment session, however for the effect to be lasting it is important that the person has a healthy and balanced diet and practices physical activity on a regular basis.
How it works
In carboxytherapy, the medicinal carbon dioxide introduced into the skin and adipose tissue promotes a small lesion in the cells that store fat, the adipocytes, promoting the exit of this fat that is available to be spent as an energy source.
Carboxytherapy also leads to increased blood flow and microcirculation, which increases local oxygenation, contributing to the elimination of toxins and even increasing collagen fibers, which makes the skin firmer. Thus, there is a reduction in localized fat and an improvement in the firmness of the skin in this region, achieving excellent results.
Despite having great results, this treatment is not indicated for weight loss as it has effect on only one localized area, and therefore it is more suitable for people who are within or very close to the ideal weight, with a body mass index up to 23.
These people may look thin, but have a 'tire' of fat in the belly, flanks, triceps and bra line, for example, which can cause discomfort or discomfort, for example. Thus, carboxitherapy is a great strategy to improve body contour by eliminating accumulated fat in some regions of the body. Find out what your BMI is by entering your data below:

Can the person put on weight again?
What has been proven in scientific studies is that carboxytherapy contributes to the reduction of localized fat and reduction of measures, however, if the person continues to consume many calories, through a diet rich in fat and sugar, there will be a new deposition of fat . This does not mean that the treatment was unsuccessful, but that the eliminated fat was replaced by inadequate nutrition.
Weight and body mass index do not change with carboxytherapy, but the fat fold decreases, which can be proven through tests such as ultrasound.
In order for the results of carboxitherapy to be maintained for a lifetime it is important to change the lifestyle, because poor diet and physical inactivity are responsible for the accumulation of fat, and if this is not changed, the body will continue to accumulate fat. Thus, in order to perpetuate the results achieved with the treatment, one must maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly, so that all the calories ingested can be expended daily.
