Why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Anti-Aging

Everyone has a desire for beauty, but age, like time, is one-way and irreversible. With the development of life science and technology, anti-aging methods are becoming more and more diversified. Modern technology plays an increasingly important role in anti-aging. Antioxidants, gene therapy, stem cell technology and other scientific and technological means have given more possibilities to the anti-aging journey.

 

In 2020, Israeli scientists published a clinical trial in Aging. After continuously giving hyperbaric oxygen therapy to a group of elderly people, the cellular aging process could be significantly stopped or even reversed in just three months. This clinical study recruited 35 elderly people aged 64 and above to receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy once a day, 5 times a week, for 60 consecutive times.

Two key markers of aging are reversed after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Telomere length: After hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the telomere length of peripheral blood mononuclear cells increased by more than 20%, with the most significant change in B cells. Senescent cells: Senescent cells were reduced by 10-37% in peripheral blood mononuclear cells after hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

 

Extending the telomeres of human cells and rejuvenating the cells has opened the eyes to a new method with anti-aging potential - hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

 

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has two main mechanisms: angiogenesis and reduction of cellular senescence. Reduced tissue perfusion, or blood supply, is associated with skin aging. Studies have found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can induce angiogenesis and increase dermal blood vessels. Angiogenesis induced by hyperbaric oxygen therapy may have significant effects on photoaging and extrinsic skin aging. Second, intrinsic skin aging is associated with cellular senescence, in which the cell cycle of fibroblasts, melanocytes, and other cells is blocked. Major drivers of aging include telomere shortening and other non-telomeric DNA damage. Israeli scientists demonstrated that HBOT induces peripheral blood senescent cell clearance and telomere lengthening. The more blood vessels in the dermis, the more nutrients can be supplied to the dermis and epidermis. Additionally, the skin has fewer senescent cells, which makes it easier for the skin to stay in good condition.
