New Treatment for Cellulite Available in Panama

  A new therapy for cellulite is available in Panama. Carbon dioxide therapy is one of the best means of combating an excess of body fat, flaccid skin, and aging skin of the body and face.   In this non-surgical technique, carbon dioxide is put just under the skin. This safe and effective therapy originated with the hot springs of Royat, France. In the 1950’s a group of cardiologists treated their patients in the hot springs for circulation and fat accumulation.

Cellulite is a condition that plagues many women. Today carbon dioxide therapy offers a safe, non-surgical alternative, or adjunct to liposuction. The technique is often used to remove "stubborn" nodules that remain after liposuction but can be used more generally. Injection of carbon dioxide gas into the subcutaneous tissue therapy kills fat cells by a process called lipolysis. The presence of carbon dioxide causes blood vessels to dilatethereby increasing blood flow. This brings more oxygen to the tissue and draws away excess fluid. In addition the procedure tends to tighten overlying skin.

So, why does this technique work? According to recent scientific studies cellulite has its origin in the micro circulation. This is the tiniest network of arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. When that circulation network does not function properly the byproducts of metabolism build up under the skin. The result is fluid, called edema, nodules, and retraction of the skin. Carbon dioxide therapy reverses this underlying problem by causing dilation of the tiny blood vessels and better circulation.
