Advantages of carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy treatment offers numerous advantages to those who undergo it. The main one is that it is not a treatment only for women, but more and more men are interested in improving their appearance.
Carboxytherapy has no side effects, since CO2 gas is non-toxic. Some people may feel a slight tingling or discomfort that disappears in a few minutes. Occasionally small bruises may appear which disappear after a short time.
Another advantage is that this technique can be applied at an early age, always with parental consent.
