DERMATOLOGY

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a potentially useful technique for certain dermatologic conditions. Although HBOT is not commonly seen as a first-line intervention in dermatology, there are scenarios in which it can be used to good effect: compromised grafts and flaps; poorly healing ulceration related to vasculitis and autoimmune disorders; and possibly for vascular compromise, including cutaneous ischemia caused by fillers.

What are the benefits of HBOT?

Wave

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy improves the quality of life for the patient in many areas when standard treatment isn’t working

Can HBOT help you?

Wave

Yes. It can benefit conditions where low oxygen levels (hypoxia) and inflammation are present

The Oxygen for Life

Wave

Oxygen can be used therapeutically for a wide range of conditions where tissues have been damaged by oxygen deprivation
