Is carboxytherapy a good alternative method in the removal of various skin defects?

Kołodziejczak, Anna; Podgórna, Kasjana; Rotsztejn, Helena

Carbon dioxide is a physiologic compound present in our body, mainly as a result of cellular metabolism. The frequency of carboxytherapy use by dermatologists and cosmetologists increased significantly in the second half of the 20th century due to the fact that it improves blood circulation within skin tissues. This article focuses on the use of carboxytherapy in case of various skin problems, such as stretch marks, scars, loss of elasticity, redundancy of fatty tissue, cellulite, morphea, and alopecia. The review of sparse studies that are available indicate increasing interest in this method.
