Surgery is just the first step. How you heal matters.
After cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, your body needs oxygen to repair damaged tissue, form new blood vessels and support the healing process.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) significantly increases the amount of oxygen available to the tissues, supporting the body’s natural repair processes during recovery.
HBOT can support:
• Faster wound healing
• Reduced postoperative swelling and inflammation
• Increased oxygen delivery to healing tissue
• New blood vessel formation
• Fibroblast activity and collagen production
• Tissue and graft viability
• Recovery following more complex surgical procedures
And the research continues to grow.
A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis examined 11 studies involving 734 aesthetic-surgery patients. The researchers concluded that HBOT was an effective adjunct in aesthetic surgery, reporting faster recovery and high levels of patient satisfaction.
Another study involving 356 tummy-tuck patients found postoperative complications were significantly lower in those receiving pre-operative HBOT — 8.4% compared with 32.6% in the group that did not receive HBOT.
HBOT has been investigated around procedures including facelifts, tummy tucks, breast surgery, rhinoplasty, liposuction, skin grafts and reconstructive surgery.
By delivering oxygen under increased pressure, HBOT allows substantially more oxygen to dissolve into the blood plasma and reach tissues where oxygen demand can be particularly high following surgery.
Your procedure matters. Your recovery matters too.
More oxygen. Better conditions for healing.
