HBOT - Aging Skin: Collagen, Elastin, Free Radicals, Detox...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the only non-hormonal treatment approved by the FDA for biologically repairing and regenerating human tissue. 

Dermatologist’s Plight & Delight: Collagen and elastin production, Detox, Free radicals. telomere health. Bottom line - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:

Collagen production:

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes the growth of collagen which is the foundation of firm new skin. Important effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy would be the stimulation of leukocyte microbial killing, the enhancement of fibroblast replication, and increased collagen formation and neovascularization of ischemic (oxygen starved) tissue. The effect is – Reduced wrinkles, a younger looking and supple skin.

Detox:

Skin being the largest organ in the body, the toxins show as skin blemishes and as discolorations. One of the spectacular use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is its powerful detoxification benefit. HBOT removes toxins and the aesthetic benefits is shown outwardly on your skin.

Free Radicals:

There is a direct correlation between the oxidative stress and the Free-Radical Theory of Aging. Appropriate levels of oxygen free radicals can facilitate tissue metabolism and cell detoxification, but excessive oxygen free radicals will damage the body.

Hyperbaric Oxygen increases the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is important for scavenging free radicals. Thus, the net effect is an increase in oxygen and a reduction in oxygen free radicals, which then protects the body from the effects of aging including the effects of the aging skin.

Telomeres health:

Cell health is vital to your skin. A well established fact of the aging process is the length of the protective cap at the end of chromosomes called ‘telomeres” that shortens each time the cell divides. With each cell division the telomeres shorten and do not protect the cells any further resulting in age related symptoms, one such being wrinkles of the skin.

Hyperbaric Oxygen has important effects on the mediators of inflammation. Improves telomeres function slowing the process of cell degeneration and causes regulation of growth factors required for cell repair.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is effortless and effective:

HBOT is a non invasive, safe, natural and effortless therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy energizes our cells, keeps our stem cells healthier and repair them so that our body is rejuvenated and the net result is shown on the outward on our skin.

Healthy living delays many of the body changes that aging brings. And it is never too late to begin your journey on the road to better health through hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
