Does carboxytherapy help remove the indent from a scar?

Question

Does carboxy help break up adhesions or help an indented scar be more level with the rest of skin? I have an old appendix scar that makes my stomach indented and my belly fat hangs over that area. I don't mind the scar itself, I just want there to be no indentation.

Yes! Carboxytherapy re starts the healing process in a scar where healing has stopped short and left an indentation or mark. The first thing that happens is that the gas will break up the adhesions in the scar tissue while increasing the circulation in the area. This allows area to redeposit normal tissue in the area of the scar. The scar narrows, fills in and then repigments. Additionally, in your case, Carboxytherapy can be used on the belly fat to slim that Down at the same time making the process faster. 
I hope that answers your question
