Carbon dioxide: maybe not the only one but an efficient and secure gas for treating local adiposities

, carbon dioxide therapy represents an evidence based and mini-invasive method in treating regional adiposities. Many studies [1;2;6] performed on both women and men have already demonstrated the effectiveness in decreasing local fat in several anatomical areas. Recently, Balik et al. [3] have compared the effects of both CO2 and breathable air injection on subcutaneous tissue in a sample of 28 experimental rats. They concluded that mechanical effects are the same in both gas injection and the changes on microcirculation documented on Laser Doppler flow examination are not statistically significant . With references to the article in question, we add few consideration
