Question

I had lipo about 3 weeks ago and am currently doing my post surgical massages. They started doing carboxy treatment on my stomach due to lumps that are forming in my abdomen. Do you think carboxy will help me? If not, please let me know what treatment I should consider? Carboxy is just so painful I don’t know if I could keep it going. Thank you!

Hi! 
ABSOLUTELY! I have been using carboxy to fix uneven liposuction for 20 years now. The way it works is that the Carboxy will smooth out the scar tissues, and any uneven leftover fat. It softens the scar tissue and the CO2 reduces the size of the fat cells so the area smooths. More importantly at the same time the CO2 stimulates powerful blood flow in the area it is injected. When you have liposuction, the blood vessels are ruptured or cauterized (fried) thus the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the skin where you have had the lipo is compromised. Blood flow is what keeps our tissue healthy and youthful. After lipo you get skin that ages more rapidly than areas where you have not had lipo. By increasing the blood flow in the area with carboxy, the body starts to regenerate the circulation and you can correct the loss of the circulation from lipo. 
I have had so many clients who have regretted doing lipo due to the unevenness and rapid aging of the skin afterwards, and this has helped them so much. 
Carboxy is not too pricey, about $200 per session, which you would do weekly. Sessions take 15 min, there is no downtime, and usually little discomfort due to the loss of sensation in the area where the lipo has disrupted the superficial nerves. You can start to see a change within 4 sessions,  sooner for fast responders. It is typical to do 10 sessions in a 10 week period of time. I have never not seen it work well for someone that takes on the course of therapy and this is one of the most gratifying treatments I do, because options are very limited to improve the situation and usually there is quite a bit of grief over the lipo outcome. 
100% worth it
