in the name of cosmetic surgery, for face-lifting, and removal of wrinkles,... they have used this poisonous toxin... BOTOX .. you would be able to learn all about this here: http://www.botox.com/ ...
this BOTOX is actually a bacteria, which kills the muscle cells, and, so that area where it is injected looks very YOUNG being RIGID. that was the idea behind using this as a therapy..
------------but, now.. they are fast replacing this therapy with CARBOXY THERAPY.
http://carboxytherapy.com/
as this carbondioxide is supposedly an ingredient with which the human body cells are accustomed, .. it is being postulated that this injection of co2 .. is comparitively non-harmful....
but, as you all know, this is called dry-ice. and, causes super-cooling effect, .. and it might cause an adverse reaction with the surrounding molecules, converting into carbon monoxide... which is highly poisonous.
------------but, who is listening. they are ready to try this in the name of COSMETICS..
do you know anything else about the procedures?

No - I dont. I hardly use cosmetics, and any procedures (except deos, and powders, and toothpastes, and shampoos, hairoils, and soaps. ).
Your concern for others makes me feel so proud to be your friend kiddo. Yeah - that was the first thought that came to my mind. In fact, I thought arent we supposed to be expelling the CO2 with every breath?
But look at it like this CT, good looks do matter - even in worksphere. What is the point in being ignored after all the good work, when a good looking person gets promoted? Choice is between that heart burn, and taking this injection. I'd say its personal - depending upon the kind of nature a person has. If the person is very ambitious, then taking a risk might pay a better dividend than hurting the body internally with blood pressure and the likes. However, people should know what risks are involved so that they can make informed choices.

Hey kiddo, my contention is - we can see the problem with the external parts of our body and can take remedial measures such as stopping some medications, or diets in time, but can we do that with what goes on inside? We are almost always too late in correcting what goes on inside, much of which has something to do with the way we think or feel. That is more difficult to control than stopping going to a cosmetologist.
We drink aerated drinks, which are kept fresh with CO2, so who is stoppin? :) You do get a lot of problems with that inside! Compared to that this is stoppable when things get out of hand, that is what I meant to say.
I know you dont want to get into further arguments with me, but that is because you dont want to lose an argument may be.

If those interested in such cosmetic procedures consider this one to be of more benefit,and less distasteful than the Idea of injecting bacteria under the skin,then it could well have some measure of success..They don't mention using Dry Ice in these procedures (Which is CO2 in its solid form when sufficiently cooled,and WOULD be dangerous to body tissue,being so cold),but only CO2 Gas,which will exist in those storage cylinders in liquid form under the pressure it's subjected to..I know only what I've read from your link about this procedure,I only remember what I learned about CO2 in Biology classes,that it's a byproduct of our respiration and a waste product that's expelled during breathing..CO2 Levels in the blood trigger your breathing out,so it's considered impossible to die by holding your breath,as you have no conscious control over the process! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_ice

lols. .. one will not forget breathing.. in this new therapy. because, it is injected sub-cutaneous. that is, under the skin, to remove wrinkles. BUT, ......
may be you are right, because, who knows, if the injected CO2 will get into the blood stream, and cause asphyxia? ...

i just dont understand WHY women do this to themselves, i mean i do but i just dont understand why they go thru what they do, they live prosperous lives, have children, work a trade or be household moms, they should show their age and the lives they lived and be proud of the way they look, wrinkles or not. im a little over 60 and moved into a country club setting where the women, not all mind you look like they just came out of a wind tunnel, pulled tight, puffed up and un-natural, some dont even look like their from this planet, chemical peels turning them an un-natural color, eyes out of wack i really dont know why they do what they do besides being vain. ladies, guys like ya the way you are. ive been with a woman who is 14 years younger than me for 12 years and she found she was getting a little sag in her chin and got it sucked out last week, well she's still in pain 4 days later, black and blue and all bandaged up still, and for what ? but if it makes ya happy, i guess go for it, but this is one guy who likes ya natural.

I have not visited the site yet and am not aware of the new therapy. I guess this new therapy is an improvised version of botox. I am not surprise with all these new anti-aging injections our streets will soon be crowded with grandmothers and grandchildren lookalike. I can imagine myself in my seventies with a face of a 25 years old walking like a zombie due to aging. I wonder whether they have found a way to retard aging of the internal system. I don't think science can play God to reverse aging. Yes, for the sake of beauty, the demand for all these injections to scrap wrinkles and fine lines are high on demand. I will cross the bridge when my time comes. In the meantime I am a silent observer to this latest beauty technology.

well, I FULLY agree with you on the crossing of the bridge at the appropriate time.
but, ... as you have truly said.. it is another version of BOTOX. science can never play GOD.. but, WE are given adequate chance by GOD and NATURE to look young, without really having to look aged.
if we eat properly, and never have to frown,. and always keep smiling, .. we will always be healthy, and young.
goodluck. and thanks

hi consultrainer what women and some men will not do to fix up
their faces and bodies. What if that carboxy made carbon monoxide
after certain period would not it make the person very sick and'
even perhaps kill the person. I am not going to take any chances
with my elderly body. it works and that's what counts.
