“…Carboxytherapy is very beneficial in restoring the physiology of the lymphatic system in patients complaining of having lymphatic stasis as its vasodilation effect enhances tissue perfusion and improves local parameters of circulation resulting in the reduction of lymphedema [24,25] . It also increases collagen turnover as reported by Paolo et al, as their patients showed reduction in periorbital wrinkles and facial lines with improvement in skin texture as well [12] . This was the first study to compare between chemical peeling and carboxytherapy in the treatment of PODC.…”

Periorbital dark circles (PODC) are a common worldwide cosmetic problem. It is difficult to treat due to complications in its pathogenesis and aetiology. Available lines of treatment for PODC include whitening creams, topical retinoid acid, chemical peeling, laser therapy, carboxytherapy, autologous fat transplantation, injectable fillers and surgery (blepharoplasty).The aim of this study isto evaluate and compare the efficacy of chemical peels using trichloroacetic acid (3.75%) and lactic acid (15%) in a gel formula with that of carboxytherapy, in the treatment of periorbital hyperpigmentation.Two groups of patients with PODC were included in the study, named Group A and B in which each group consisted of 15 patients. Group A was assigned for patients who received treatment with chemical peeling with a combination of trichloroacetic acid (3.75%) and lactic acid (15%) in a gel formula, once a week for four weeks. Group B was assigned for patients who received carboxytherapy that was performed by subcutaneous and intradermal injection of CO 2 once a week for four weeks. All patients were assessed by digital photographs, before and after treatment, by observing the improvement in the grade of PODC. Reports of patient satisfaction and global tolerance were evaluated by three medical observers. There was a significant improvement in the grade of PODC in both groups. The degree of improvement of PODC in group A was excellent, with good grade in 93.4% of the treated patients while fair grade in 6.6% of them. There was a statistically significant improvement in the pigmented type. The degree of improvement of PODC in group B was excellent, with good grade in 86.7% of the treated patients while fair grade in 13.3% of them. However, no statistically significant difference between the two groups was observed. Minimal and transient side effects were noticed; however, it did not require further treatment. In conclusion, the two methods of treatment were effective in the treatment of PODC, with the improvement of PODC observed from the first treatment session with both chemical peeling and carboxytherapy.

“…24 Com a infusão de CO 2 no plano subcutâneo ocorre aumento do fluxo de oxigênio e de fatores de crescimento endotelial vascular (VEGF), o que leva ao aumento de neoangiogênese. 25 Estudo realizado em por Paolo et al 25 incluiu 90 pacientes, sendo 80 mulheres e 10 homens, fototipos de I a III na graduação de Fitzpratrick, portadores de rugas e HPO. Os pacientes foram submetidos a injeções de CO 2 subcutâneo uma vez por semana durante sete semanas.…”

RESUMOA região periorbital é uma das primeiras áreas a mostrar sinais do envelhecimento, como rugas, flacidez e hiperpigmentação periorbital (HPO). A HPO interfere na aparência facial provocando aspecto de cansaço, tristeza ou ressaca. Possui etiopatogenia complexa que inclui múltiplos fatores que podem ser de causa primária ou secundária. Os fatores genéticos são considerados de causa primária, enquanto os ambientais são de causa secundária. Assim, são exemplos de fatores ambientais o excesso de exposição solar, a hiperpigmentação pós-inflamatória, o excesso de vascularização subcutânea, a hipertransparência da pele, o edema periorbital e a herniação da gordura palpebral. A gravidade clínica da doença pode variar e geralmente a hiperpigmentação está presente bilateralmente e simetricamente ao redor dos olhos. O propósito deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão integrativa com o objetivo de discutir e avaliar as causas e fatores etiológicos e descrever os possíveis tratamentos disponíveis na literatura. Foram utilizados 26 artigos que abordavam os temas: anatomia, etiologia, causas e tratamentos. Tendo em vista a escassez de informações sobre a etiologia, bem como um tratamento consensual, é necessário um exame clínico adequado para direcionar a conduta. Existem várias sugestões para tratamento da HPO descritos, como peeling, preenchimento com gordura autóloga, laser, utilização de cosméticos, injeções de plasma rico em plaquetas e carboxiterapia. Palavras-chave: envelhecimento da pele; pálpebras; hiperpigmentação; edema; técnicas cosméticas. ABSTRACTThe periorbital region is one of the first areas to demonstrate signs of aging such as wrinkling, skin laxity and periorbital hyperpigmentation (HPO). The HPO interferes in the facial appearance resulting on a tired, sadness or hangover aspects. It has a complex etiopathogenesis with factors that could be by primary or secondary cause. The genetic factors are stated as a primary cause and the environmental factors are stated as a secondary cause. In that way, there are many examples of environmental factors such as excess of sun exposition, post inflammatory hyper pigmentation, excess of subcutaneous vascularization, hyper transparency of the skin, periorbital edema, and fat herniation eyelid. The clinical severity of the condition varies and normally the hyper pigmentation is present bilaterally and symmetrically around the eye region. The main objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the causes and etiological factors, and to describe the possible treatments available in the current literature. It was utilized 26 scientific papers on the following subjects: anatomy, etiology, causes and treatments. Owing to the information scarcity about its etiology, as well as its consensual treatment, it is necessary an adequate clinical examination in order to provide directions to the conduct. There are several suggestions for HPO treatment described: peeling, fillers, autologous fat fillers, cosmetic use, injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP), and carboxytherapy. ...

“…Carboxytherapy has been used to treat localised adiposity [3], post liposuction irregularity [4], chronic wounds [5], skin laxity, cellulite [6][7], striae [8] dark under circles [9], and scars [10]. CO 2 therapy is administered subcutaneously for lipolysis [3] or intradermally using a programmable CO 2 therapy apparatus (Carbomed®, Carbossi Italy) and disposable 32G needles.…”

Abstract:Modified subcision assisted with Carbon Dioxide insufflation is described in 2 patients; one with post acne scar and another with adhesion following liposuction. Both subjects have satisfactory results after 3 fortnightly sessions. The Carbon Dioxide flow controlled by the flow rate and procedurist's maneuvering adjusted to the size and positon of the scars help to separate the underlying fibrotic bands allowing the reach beyond the length of the subcising device; in this case being a 30G ½ needle. The results and recovery is being compared with traditional subcision and possible benefits of Carbon Dioxide assisted subcision are discussed.
