Cutaneous (skin) surgical and burn recovery
HBOT encourages the formation of new collagen and new skin cells by substantially stimulating fibroblast activity. It also heals skin tissues by stimulating angiogenesis. This new blood vessels growth stems from stimulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor. HBOT also attracts and stimulates endothelial cells needed for healing. It also enhances plasma oxygen levels up to 1200% that improve skin health by repairing and regenerating cells. HBOT also reduces inflammation at the acute and chronic level by suppressing pro-inflammatory genes and upregulating anti-inflammatory genes.
