Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. It is used for various treatments, usually as a part of an overall medical care plan.

With HBOT, oxygen is dissolved into the body’s fluids, including the plasma, the central nervous system fluids, the lymphatic system, and the bone. It can also be carried to areas where circulation is decreased or blocked. This way, extra oxygen can reach all the damaged tissues, and the body can support its healing process.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has many aesthetic benefits for skin and body rejuvenation. HBOT increases collagen and elastin production, wakes up sleeping blood cells, reverses signs of aging, evens skin tone, minimizes the appearance of wrinkles, and detoxifies the body.

The benefits continue beyond there! HBOT promotes health from the inside out by boosting the immune system and increasing vitality. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be the “fountain of youth” because of its ability to promote cell repair, correct age spots, tighten saggy skin, repair poor collagen structure, and increases circulation.

For athletes who undergo strenuous exercise, HBOT can flush out lactic acid that causes muscle fatigue and help you recover energy. HBOT’s elevated oxygen levels help athletes improve performance and recover quickly after a workout. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been demonstrated to reduce swelling and reduce the inflammatory response.

Many professional athletes routinely use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to shorten their recuperation period after soft tissue injuries. Soft tissue injury inevitably results in a disturbance of microcirculation with the release of chemicals known as inflammatory mediators, which cause swelling or edema and further soft tissue damage. HBOT soothes, repairs, and protects these tissues.
