Could a CO2 gel heal liposuction bruises faster?

NCT ID NCT06791577

First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether a gel that releases carbon dioxide (CO2 Lift) can reduce bruising and pain after liposuction. Participants receive the gel on one side of the body and a placebo (Vaseline) on the other, allowing direct comparison. Researchers measure bruising with photos at 24 hours, 3 days, and 7 days, and also track pain and satisfaction. The goal is to see if this simple treatment improves recovery after surgery.
