Let's talk about a painless and safe non-surgical therapeutic technique based on the subcutaneous injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) - a substance naturally produced by the human body, and therefore very well tolerated by the body - carboxytherapy.

The method of carboxytherapy, widely advertised recently in the professional and consumer press, is not so new, because the use of carbon dioxide in medicine is more than a century old.
