Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) serves as a valuable adjunct to both cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries, offering natural support for the healing process and reducing recovery time. Patients undergoing surgery encounter various post-operative challenges akin to traditional surgical procedures. However, specific surgeries may pose additional complications, including issues with blood supply distribution leading to ischemia, necrosis, infection, and excessive scarring. HBOT addresses these challenges by promoting new blood vessel growth, facilitating tissue repair, and minimizing adverse effects. Recognizing its benefits, many surgeons now recommend HBOT before and after surgery to optimize healing, recovery, and overall outcomes for their patient.
Study: Recovery in Phenol Chemical Peeling with HBOT
In a pilot study, researchers investigated the impact of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) on recovery from Phenol Chemical Peeling (PCP) treatment. Women undergoing PCP were divided into two groups: one receiving HBOT alongside PCP and the other receiving PCP alone. Results showed that the HBOT group experienced reduced severity of side effects like erythema and scaling, faster skin healing, and increased confidence in appearing in public compared to the control group. These findings suggest that HBOT may expedite recovery and improve outcomes in cosmetic procedures like PCP.
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT):
Increased Oxygen Supply:
Enhances oxygen delivery to blood and tissues, helping cells produce more energy (ATP).
Supports brain function, reducing mental fog and fatigue.
Aids in muscle recovery by preventing oxygen deprivation.
Improved Cellular Function:
Stimulates mitochondrial activity, the powerhouse of cells, leading to more efficient energy production.
Promotes cell repair and regeneration, helping the body recover faster from fatigue-related damage.
Enhances immune function, reducing susceptibility to illness-related exhaustion.
Reduction of Inflammation:
Lowers pro-inflammatory cytokines, which contribute to fatigue in chronic conditions.
Improves circulation, reducing swelling and discomfort that may cause tiredness.
Helps manage conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, which are often linked to systemic inflammation.
