The latest craze in anti-ageing as well as anti-cellulite treatments to make it's way across the Atlantic this year is, believe it or not, carbon dioxide injections, otherwise known as 'Carboxy Therapy'. It is described as the biggest breakthrough in anti-ageing since botox & can also treat cellulite, stretch marks to jowls & flabby upper arms. It works by carbon dioxide being injected under the surface of the skin, this causes the blood vessels to dilate within the tissue bringing a rush of oxygen to the treated area. The carbon dioxide will kill off fat cells & stimulate collagen production creating firmer, younger looking skin. Many have seen great results particularly in reducing the appearance of cellulite & stretch marks, normally it is recommended that you have 15-20 sessions (15 mins each) to eliminate cellulite with visible results after 8 sessions, once your course has finished you can expect the effects to last up to 6 months. It comes at a price though, £100 a session (maybe best sticking to our old faithful firming lotion if you ask me!).
