How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Benefits the Skin

According to Medical Gas Research, HBOT is effective in treating photoaged skin and improving skin condition and complexion.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can promote tissue repair. The skin is a relatively peripheral part of the human body, and the blood flow distribution in the peripheral parts is not very extensive. Therefore, people often feel that the skin on their face is very dry and lacks moisture. During hyperbaric oxygen therapy, oxygen can enter the skin tissue through the process of physical diffusion, accelerate repair and repair, and promote collagen proliferation. Therefore, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has the process of smoothing the damaged surface of the skin, and is also widely used in the treatment of various skin injuries, such as pressure ulcers, various large-area skin injuries and other diseases.

HBOT For Treating Skin Damage

In a recent study, scientists have found evidence that hyperoxic environments (90% or more oxygen), for 2 hours, helped to reduce the level of wrinkle formation and epidermal thickness after receiving UV radiation. The exposure to a hyperoxic environment increased skin tension by 10 times, as compared to the control group. In the group treated with just UV radiation, skin tension increased 5 times. However, the group that was treated  with a hyperoxic environment, after UV radiation, saw reduced tension in the skin. The results of this study suggest that when the skin is in a high-oxygen environment, wrinkle formation after UV radiation exposure reduces in the skin.

 

It’s important to note that the research on hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be beneficial for skin rejuvenation, and that its benefits on the skin are continuing to grow. More evidence is needed to make a conclusive statement, but recent studies show promise in hyperbaric benefits and the results of hyperbaric oxygen chambers on anti-aging.
