HBOT & COSMETIC SURGERY

Patients recovering from cosmetic surgery need to exercise extra care to ensure that tissues receive enough oxygen during the healing process. HBOT in conjunction with cosmetic surgery is an effective way to expedite the healing process and shorten the recuperation time. HBOT accelerates healing in patients undergoing face lifts, laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, tummy tucks, liposuction, breast reduction or augmentation and many other procedures. After HBOT, circulating stem cells, which are crucial to the repair of injured tissues, increase by eightfold.

Hyperbaric oxygen is a safe way to alter the inflammatory process to help wound healing. It cuts down pain and swelling, and inflammation in tissues, and it has an antibacterial effect. Patients who had this therapy in conjunction with their cosmetic surgery seem to have a shorter recuperation period. And scars have been shown to heal better with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy works particularly well for patients who have problems with healing. They may have been smokers, they may be diabetic, they may be immunity suppressed, or their incisions may have become infected, etc.
