The Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygenation for Skin Health

Thu, May 23, 2024

The skin, our body's largest organ, often gets the short end of the stick when it comes to oxygen allocation. In the body's hierarchy of oxygen distribution, the brain receives the lion's share, around 20-25 per cent, followed by other vital organs. This means that the skin typically receives less oxygen, which can affect its health and healing capabilities. Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBOT) can compensate for this by significantly increasing blood oxygen levels. This offers substantial benefits for skin health, particularly through its anti-inflammatory effects.

Inflammation underlies many skin conditions and diseases, and by reducing it, HBOT can alleviate symptoms and enhance healing. A critical advantage of HBOT is its stimulation of new blood vessel formation, or angiogenesis. This is crucial for wound healing, especially in infected wounds, or those at risk of amputation. The increased blood supply delivers essential nutrients and oxygen more efficiently, speeding up the healing process and reducing the risk of severe complications.
