    TLDR Carboxytherapy can improve skin conditions with few side effects, but results may vary and are not guaranteed.
    The document from 2011 describes carboxytherapy as a technique used in aesthetic medicine for skin rejuvenation, treating scars, stretch marks, cellulite, adhesions after liposuction, and hair loss conditions. It works by injecting CO₂ gas into the skin, which improves blood flow, oxygenation, and may influence gene expression and collagen synthesis. The treatment is generally safe, with minimal side effects, and can be combined with other procedures for enhanced effects. However, results can vary based on patient factors such as age, skin condition, and expectations. Carboxytherapy is not always effective for all scar types, particularly deep acne scars, and may not be the first choice for significant volume reduction in obese patients. The document suggests that while carboxytherapy offers benefits and is considered natural, its outcomes can be unpredictable and it may not always lead to complete resolution of the condition. The future of carboxytherapy may focus on patients seeking natural treatments, and its use in other medical fields remains promising.
