This wound after knee surgery (back of knee pictured) was unable to heal in a teenage girl. After Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, it completely closed and was fully healed.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy(HBOT) offers a new and exciting option for patients who are looking to improve skin health and heal faster and with less scar tissue after skin procedures.
Collagen + Oxygen = Healthy Skin
An incredible feature of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is its ability to increase Collagen in our body, which is essential to healthy skin. It provides structure, support, and strength to our skin. Wrinkles, for instance are due to collagen level decreasing in our body. Therefore, increasing collagen levels will do the opposite, strengthening skin and decreasing wrinkle formation.
Hyperbaric improves circulation and oxygen levels in our body by allowing oxygen to dissolve in our plasma, increasing delivery to the tissues of our skin, while also growing new blood vessels to support healthy skin by stimulating growth hormones through pressure and high oxygen levels.
HBOT also stimulates Proline, which is often used in anti-aging products that are applied to the skin, but when driven from within the body (circulation), there may be a greater impact.
HBOT additionally stimulates Lysine production, which is essential in collagen formation, helping heal and support skin.
Additionally improving circulation by growing new blood vessels, known as angiogenesis is a prominent feature of HBOT as it stimulates growth hormones that are essential in artery and vein growth and repair, which is essential to healing skin and tissue after damage through surgery.
Whether you’re looking to improve skin health in general, or looking to recover from skin (dermatology) surgery, whether due to cancer removal, mole removal, and anything requiring stitches, or any other surgery, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can accelerate skin healing and also reduce scarring.
