Subcutaneous Infiltration of Carbon Dioxide (Carboxytherapy) for Abdominal Fat Reduction: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Patients have shown an increasing preference for more non-invasive fat reduction options. Five weeks after study initiation and one week after the fifth treatment session, carboxytherapy reduced abdominal fat more than sham treatment, but there was no difference at 28 weeks. This study showed only a transient benefit for carboxytherapy.
