Problems solved by technology

However, for the treatment of large areas, a single treatment is too harsh and time-consuming
Patients therefore still do not fully reap the benefits of carboxytherapy for a wide range of skin conditions

Embodiment 1

[0112] Embodiment 1: the treatment of alopecia areata

[0113] The female patient presented with alopecia areata and had suffered from this condition for more than seven years. The patient had seen 14 different specialists for appropriate treatment, but was aggravated by wearing a wig. No treatment, including topical minoxidil and hair growth factors, produced satisfactory relief of the symptoms. Patients undergo once-weekly administration of carboxytherapy treatment in a clinical setting. Apply warm CO at a flow rate of 80 ml / min 2 . In addition, the patient was instructed to continue topical minoxidil and hair growth factors once daily.

[0114] After two and a half months of ten treatments, the patient showed significant hair growth within the bald spots. The clinical regimen was reduced to twice monthly carboxytherapy treatments. Following clinical carboxytherapy treatment of 20 treatments over approximately six months, the patient exhibited hair growth throughout ...

Embodiment 2

[0115] Embodiment 2: the treatment of male pattern baldness

[0116] An adult male patient presented with alopecia around the whorl. The patient was treated with clinical carboxytherapy, and within three months, significant regrowth of the hair around the helix was observed. After 5 months of carboxytherapy, the patient experienced a complete ingrown of normal-tetured hair around the helix.

Embodiment 3

[0117] Example 3: Treatment of Generalized Thinning Hair

[0118] A male patient presents with the entire crown of his scalp Generalized Thinning hair. Patients undergo monthly clinical carboxytherapy treatments. After three months, the patient showed considerable filling of sparse areas. The treatment regimen was changed to carboxytherapy administered twice a month, and at five months, the patient showed significant coverage of the crown area with hair of normal texture.

Abstract

A method and an apparatus of applying carboxytherapy to a subject is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: contacting a target body surface of the subject with a treatment device comprising a plurality of hollow needles attached to a contact surface of a housing and a C02 source in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of hollow needles; applying pressure to the housing such that one or more of the plurality of hollow needles penetrate an epidermis or an outermost layer of cell in the target body surface; applying a therapeutic amount of C02 to the subject through said plurality of hollow needles; and removing the plurality of hollow needles from said target body surface. A method of applying carboxytherapy to improve skin conditions is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates generally to tissue repair in human subjects. In particular, the invention relates to devices and methods for the local administration of carbon dioxide. Background technique [0002] Carboxytherapy (Carboxytherapy), also known as carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) therapy, or CDT, is a safe and effective treatment that improves the appearance of the treated skin. Outside the United States, carboxytherapy has been found applied to reduce unevenness of the skin, reduce wrinkles, and as an adjunct to other forms of cosmetic and therapeutic treatments such as liposuction. [0003] Although carboxytherapy has been studied in academic settings for some physical symptoms, the exact mechanism of action of carboxytherapy is not well understood. Therefore, drug- and device-based innovations have been the main avenues for skin treatment. However, as patients and medical professionals began to shy away from purely medical treatments, carbo...
