Abstract

Background: Carboxytherapy is defined as intradermal and/or subcutaneous microinjections of sterile purified carbon dioxide into different parts of the body for therapeutic aims. The vasodilatation effect and intradermal collagen reorganization associated with carboxytherapy have advantages for aesthetic dermatology and cosmetology. Objective: In the current article, we have reviewed some of the most important indications of this modality in dermatology and aesthetic dermatology. Method: Our review is a narrative one which has gathered some of the most important indications of carboxytherapy in dermatology and cosmetology. Results: Carboxytherapy has successfully been applied for some dermatologic and cosmetic conditions among which skin aging, cellulite, localized fat deposits, striae distensae, infraorbital hyperpigmentation, scar, lymphedema, androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, psoriasis, morphea, and vitiligo are the most important. Conclusion: Carboxytherapy can be considered as a safe, minimally‐invasive modality used for rejuvenation, restoration, and recondition of the skin.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • There are potential risks associated with carboxytherapy such as topical CO2-releasing gels or subcutaneous applications used in wound management.

    “This implies potential risks associated with carboxytherapy such as topical CO2-releasing gels or subcutaneous applications52 used in wound management.”

    From Candida auris skin tropism and antifungal resistance are mediated by carbonic anhydrase Nce103 (2025) · cites this paper as [52]

    The ‘Complications of Carboxytherapy’ section reports pain, burning, bruising, hematomas, and persistent edema, supporting the general point that treatment has potential risks. The Introduction describes subcutaneous CO2 injections and earlier topical application, but the cited passages do not establish risks of CO2-releasing gels or of these applications specifically in wound management.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
