If you’re asking “Can hyperbaric oxygen therapy help improve your skin,” the short answer is yes! This innovative wellness treatment is designed to nourish your cells and enhance your natural healing processes.
That’s why it’s trusted by hotels, spas, wellness centres and beauty clinics. But how does it work and should you consider this treatment for your own location? To answer these questions, read on.
WHAT IS HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY (HBOT)?
First used in the US; namely by the Navy to treat divers with decompression sickness, it’s now a widely popular wellness treatment. It works to promote the body’s natural healing functions by sending oxygen-rich plasma into the tissues within the high-pressure environment. It blocks bacteria, boosts the immune system, encourages new cells and collagen to form and prevents reperfusion injury.
SUMMARY OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY BENEFITS
Simply, the pressurised setting within the pod helps increase oxygen by 50%. During your session, the hyperbaric oxygen therapy benefits include:
- Formation of collagen
- Release of stem cells and growth factors
- Easing chronic pain
- Reduction of fatigue, stress, burnout or jet lag
- Better immune function & sleep
- More alertness, concentration & mental focus
- Growth of new skin cells
- Improved blood flow & sexual performance
- Reduction of bacteria & toxins
- Wound healing
- Treatment for decompression sickness, burns and other illnesses
BENEFITS OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY FOR SKIN REJUVENATION
Since you’re breathing in more potent concentrations of oxygen during treatment, there are a number of benefits to hyperbaric oxygen therapy for skin rejuvenation. The first is, of course, a plumping effect from improved collagen structure and the growth of new skin cells. The next is an improved look and feel of sagging skin, wrinkles and age spots through better blood flow, better sleep quality and oxygenation. When combined with hydroxy therapy, these benefits are expanded to include a reduction in free radicals which contributes to a lessening in the signs of ageing. Additionally, the gentle comfort of increased pressure within the chamber can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, soothe inflammation and enhance mental clarity.
HOW CAN MOLECULAR HYDROGEN ENHANCE YOUR HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY TREATMENT?
By enhancing the hyper baric oxygen therapy treatment with hydrogen (hydroxy) therapy, molecular hydrogen enters the body to fight free radicals and decrease inflammation while accelerating recovery. Free radicals are unstable atoms responsible for oxidative stress on the body. This is the root cause of a range of diseases and also the most common factor in signs of ageing like wrinkles. When hydroxy therapy is added to the HBOT treatment, it enhances the regenerative effects on the skin as a powerful antioxidant.
