What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. HBOT has been used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and wounds that are slow to heal. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the potential use of HBOT for longevity and anti-aging.

At Elite Plastic Surgery, we offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy on its own while also providing it to patients as a powerful post-procedure option. HBOT can significantly enhance and improve the post-surgical healing process and is just one of the advanced wellness treatments that we’re proud to offer our patients. If you’d like to learn more, reach out to our Phoenix or Chandler locations and set up your consultation today.

Why Choose Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a completely non-invasive, totally non-surgical treatment option that offers patients a number of exciting benefits. Take a look at the many ways hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help you, and don’t hesitate to reach out to us at our Phoenix or Chandler locations when you’re ready to learn more and set up your initial consultation.

Increased Production of New Blood Vessels

HBOT has been shown to increase the production of new blood vessels, which can improve circulation and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. This can help to improve wound healing, reduce inflammation, and protect against age-related diseases.

Reduced Inflammation

HBOT has been shown to reduce inflammation, which is a major factor in aging and age-related diseases. Inflammation can damage cells and tissues, and it can also impair the function of organs and systems. By reducing inflammation, HBOT can help to protect against age-related diseases and improve overall health.

Improved Wound Healing

HBOT has been shown to improve wound healing, which can be a major problem for older adults. HBOT can help to increase blood flow to the wound site, which can improve the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. HBOT can also help to reduce inflammation and promote the growth of new cells.

Increased Production of Antioxidants

HBOT has been shown to increase the production of antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and tissues, and they are a major factor in aging and age-related diseases. By increasing the production of antioxidants, HBOT can help to protect cells from damage and improve overall health.

Reduced Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress is a condition that occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body’s ability to neutralize them. Oxidative stress can damage cells and tissues, and it is a major factor in aging and age-related diseases. HBOT has been shown to reduce oxidative stress, which can help to protect cells from damage and improve overall health.

Increased Levels of Nitric Oxide

Nitric oxide is a gas that plays a role in a variety of bodily functions, including vasodilation (the widening of your blood vessels), immune function, and wound healing. HBOT has been shown to increase levels of nitric oxide, which can improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing.

Improved Cognitive Function

HBOT has been shown to improve cognitive function in people with a variety of conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and traumatic brain injury. HBOT can help to improve memory, attention, and processing speed.

Increased Lifespan

HBOT has been shown to increase lifespan in animal studies. In one study, mice that were exposed to HBOT lived 30% longer than mice that were not exposed to HBOT.

While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of HBOT for longevity and anti-aging, the available evidence suggests that it may be a promising treatment for extending life and improving quality of life.
