Siena, injection of carbon dioxide (carboxytherapy) into the body can make fat cells shrink and can weight down. Fat tissue in the thighs and abdomen may shrink 2-3 cm after this therapy.
In a recent study, scientists from the University of Siena, Italy tried to inject carbon dioxide gas to the 48 women who have excess fat, especially on the thighs and abdomen. After the injection, the average turned out to participants experienced shrinkage in the thighs as much as 2 cm and in the stomach by 3 cm.
Technique to inject carbon dioxide gas or known by this carboxytherapy actually being used in some places to get rid of cellulite beauty. This technique had sparked controversy because a woman in America had died due to these therapies.
But researchers say that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the natural gas and non-toxic for cells produced by the human body itself. Only in a few minutes, treatment with carbon dioxide was reported to decrease the fatty tissue.
The mechanism is as follows, a syringe containing carbon dioxide gas inserted in the skin surface. Carbon dioxide gas will then diffuse into the blood vessels and surrounding tissue.
Blood vessels widen which will then eventually make blood flow more strongly and smoothly. The more smooth the flow of blood means more oxygen and nutrients into the body. And the more oxygen, the more carbon dioxide can kill fat cells.
Although the body can decrease the size but the therapy is not permanent and can not lower the risk of unhealthy options that arise from being overweight.
"Injection of carbon dioxide could reduce the fat under the skin but can not be overcome in the abdominal fat is a major cause of diabetes, heart disease and others," said Nick Finer of the University College London, as quoted from That's Fit, Thursday (31/12/2009 ).
