Wrinkles and baldness -go for carboxytherapy treatment.

In the latest study at the University of Siena in Italy, researchers found the treatment called carboxytherapy, which is effective at smoothing skin and reducing fat.

The carbon dioxide gas, the latest weapon in the cosmetic surgeon’s armoury, helps melting away fat and stretch marks effectively when injected below the skin. In their study, the researchers found that in three weeks treatment , on an average the participants lost two cm from their thighs, one cm from each knee and three cm from their stomach. At the same time their skin became thicker and their cellulite smoother.

Sabine Zenker, a doctor who has pioneered the use of the technique said, “this is quick, largely pain free and a more natural alternative to dermal fillers and botox. It takes four or five minutes. It is not painful at all.”

carboxytherapy could also come to the aid of the bald, with jabs reopening closed pores, potentially allowing hair to regrow. It has been used in France since 1930s to treat patients suffering from poor circulation, blocked arteries and heart problems.
