CARBOXYTHERAPY APPARATUS
THE NEW PORTABLE DEVICE FOR THE DELIVERY OF MEDICAL CO2
The device
The ergonomic body and the weight of only 5 kg make CARBOMED CO2 a comfortable and easily transportable carboxytherapy device.
The gas is heated by the device to make the treatment comfortable for the patient. The user interface is created with a touch-screen: it is easy, intuitive and already contains pre-set therapeutic programs and use protocols. The new flow regulators allow greater accuracy of the value delivered.

Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy is a medical therapy that consists of the administration of gas [CO₂] at a subcutaneous or intradermal level for therapeutic purposes through localized micro-injections using very thin 30G needles commonly used in mesotherapy. Scientific studies have shown that carboxytherapy improves skin elasticity , reactivates local microcirculation, stimulates collagen fibers, and breaks the adipocyte membrane with a consequent lipolytic and lipoclastic effect, without damaging the connective tissue, vessels and structures. surrounding nerves.
Carbon dioxide is produced naturally by our body, therefore it is not toxic even in high doses and is disposed of at a physiological level. After a single treatment the gas is normally reabsorbed in 5/10 minutes. Carboxytherapy is a safe method that presents only some undesirable effects (sensation of discomfort from subcutaneous crackling and possibility of bruising). The actual carboxytherapy intervention instead consists in the injection of medical carbon dioxide into the most problematic points of the thighs, calves, ankles, abdomen, hips and hands, through a very thin needle connected by a small tube to the computer which will control the doses and treatment times. All without any need for anesthesia , since the only discomfort is a slight burning sensation that is felt as the gas expands under the skin.
Mechanisms of action
Neo-angiogenesis: through a microangiological evaluation with videocapillaroscopy and optical probe it was possible to highlight the actual creation of new capillaries.
Vasodilation: the first direct mechanical effect deriving from the injection of carbon dioxide is a powerful vasodilation, increased perfusion of the treated areas and arteriolar sphygmicity. The partial pressure of tissue O2 is also significantly increased after subcutaneous administration of CO2.
Stimulation of collagen synthesis: studies carried out demonstrate a reorganization of collagen fibers following intradermal injections of CO2. It is as if a message of damage was sent to the dermis which triggers a natural repair process. CO2 first of all improves this process through greater revascularization, secondly - by releasing more oxygen in the treated area - it improves the phase of the "repair" mechanism.
Receptor activation and lipolysis: CO2 activates lipolysis and lipoclasis of the adipocyte membrane as a secondary effect (potentiation of the Bohr effect and receptor activation of lipolysis). This effect would be linked to the hyperdistention of the subcutaneous exteroreceptors, i.e. the Pacinian and Golgi corpuscles. Their activation would lead to the release of algogenic substances such as bradykinin, histamine, serotonin and catecholamines.
Bohr effect: concerns the tendency of hemoglobin to have less affinity for oxygen when the concentration of CO2 in the blood increases. This causes hemoglobin to release more oxygen into the surface and muscle tissue. The administration of CO2 into the tissues promotes hydration with the formation of carbonic acid H2CO3 in the erythrocytes, which dissociates into the ion H+ and bicarbonate HCO3.
