Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Post-Surgical Treatment
Overview
After surgery, your tissues need optimal oxygen delivery to heal efficiently. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) provides 100% oxygen at elevated pressures to boost blood oxygen levels, reduce swelling, and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes.
Key Benefits
- Accelerates Wound Healing: Enhances collagen synthesis and tissue regeneration for faster incision closure.
- Reduces Edema & Inflammation: Pressure and oxygen combine to decrease swelling and discomfort.
- Minimizes Infection Risk: High oxygen tensions inhibit bacterial growth and support immune function.
- Decreases Pain: Lowers inflammatory mediators, leading to reduced post-operative pain.
- Improves Scar Quality: Promotes balanced tissue remodeling to reduce excessive scarring.
- Shortens Recovery Time: Patients often resume normal activities sooner with HBOT adjunct therapy.
Treatment Protocols
- Duration: 60 – 90 minutes per session
- Frequency: 5 sessions per week
- Total Sessions: 10 – 20 treatments (customized per patient)
*HBOT for post-surgical treatment is an off-label application and should be administered under the guidance of a qualified hyperbaric medicine physician as part of your comprehensive recovery plan.
