Carboxy Therapy
CARBOXITHERAPY
What is it?
It is a non surgical method which consists
of injecting CO2 at subcutaneous level
through a very fine needle (3mm) by using
an equipment especially designed for
regulating the gas exit with a low
pressure.
Characteristics of CO2




Non scent, colorless, soluble in water
Final product of the organic metabolism
High disolution ( 20 times more than O2
in the microcirculation)
Modest transformation in HCO3
Origen of Carboxitherapy



1930 : France . Gas de Royat.
Arteriopaties
1930 : Argentine Medical Association
1953: Publication of 20 experienced
years with subcutaneous injections
Action mecanisms.




Active Vaso-dilatation
Increment of oxidatve phenomena
Arteriolization of blood (Bohr effect)
Increasing of cellular oxygenation
Lipolitic effect
Sympatic-litic effect
Toxicity



Absence of toxicity with high dose
Absence of increment in the systemic
TA
No variations in the systemic partial
pressure of O2 and CO2

Treatment sessions
Between 15 and 20 sessions of
approximately 10 minutes each, are
suggested according to the different
cases. The intensity per week is 2 or 3.

The suggested dose of CO2 per member
should oscillate between 100 and 200 cc.
Divide the treated zone into 4 or 6
quadrants in eah member. It is suggested
not to inject more than 30 o 50 cc per zone.
It is convenient to jab in several directions.
Injections should be complemented with
manual massages to spread the gas, control
the efisema and dicrease the annoyance on
the patient
