Periorbital area rejuvenation using carbon dioxide therapy

Area of Science:

• Dermatology
• Aesthetic Medicine
• Cosmetic Surgery

Background:

• Existing treatments for periorbital rejuvenation have limitations, particularly for the medial lower eyelid.
• There is a need for effective treatments for wrinkles and dark circles in the lower eyelid region.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of carboxytherapy for treating wrinkles and dark circles in the medial and median lower eyelid areas.
• To assess carboxytherapy as a noninvasive rejuvenation method for the periorbital region.

Main Methods:

• 90 patients with moderate to severe periorbital wrinkles or dark circles participated.
• Subcutaneous injections of carbon dioxide (CO2) were administered weekly for 7 weeks.
• Patient outcomes were assessed using photographic documentation and visual analog scales before and after treatment.

Main Results:

• Patients reported significant reductions in fine lines, wrinkles, and periorbital hyperpigmentation.
• Observed side effects were transient and did not necessitate treatment discontinuation.
• Photographic evidence and patient-reported outcomes supported treatment efficacy.

Conclusions:

• Carboxytherapy is an effective noninvasive treatment for periorbital rejuvenation.
• The study demonstrates carboxytherapy's potential for improving lower eyelid wrinkles and dark circles.
• Carbon dioxide therapy offers a promising approach for enhancing the appearance of the eye area.
