Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) enhances plastic surgery recovery by increasing oxygen delivery to tissues, significantly reducing swelling, bruising, and discomfort. It accelerates healing, minimizes scar formation, and lowers infection risk, making it popular for procedures like Facelifts, Liposuction, Tummy Tucks, Rhinoplasty, Hair Transplants, Botox, Breast Surgery, Eyelid Surgery and more...

 

Chamber Sessions - 1.4-1.5 ATA pressure for 60min, allows for faster recovery in 3-10+ sessions. 

​

Key Benefits of Mild Hyperbarics in Plastic Surgery:

• Reduced Inflammation: Dramatically decreases post-surgical edema (swelling) and bruising and pain.

• Accelerated Healing: Enhances collagen production and stimulates new blood vessel growth (neovascularization), speeding up overall recovery and improvs the survival of tissues used in reconstructive procedures.

• Lower Infection Risk: Boosts immune cell activity, helping to fight bacteria at incision sites.

• Improved Scarring: Promotes better skin regeneration, leading to smoother, less noticeable scars. 

 

Typical Applications and Protocols

• Ideal Candidates: Patients undergoing facelifts, liposuction, abdominoplasty (tummy tucks), and breast surgery.

• Timeline: Most effective when started before surgery to reduce pre-existing inflammation and immediately after to aid in healing.

• Number of Sessions: Minor procedures may require 3–5 sessions, while more extensive surgeries may require 10–20 sessions.

Difference from Medical-Grade HBOT
While medical-grade HBOT uses high pressures ( 2-3 ATA) for acute conditions, mild hyperbarics ( 1.4-1.5 ATA) is often utilized in cosmetic settings for its safety profile while still providing significant oxygen saturation to healing tissues.

​

Summary

​Whether a patient’s surgery is cosmetic or reconstructive, hyperbaric therapy is a non-invasive tool that may aid in the healing process and shorten recovery time.​
