What to expect during your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session
When you’re in the hyperbaric chamber, the oxygen-rich plasma in our bodies that has been starved of oxygen (i.e. ageing, dying or damaged) is rejuvenated. This tissue is flooded with much-needed oxygen, which reduces swelling and expedites healing. It also helps break the cycle of injuries and reperfusion injuries.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy suffocates and works to remove harmful bacterias or toxins that may also be in the body because it increases the oxygen concentration in the tissues. This process essentially improves the effectiveness of an immune system by motivating and fuelling white blood cells.
This therapy is effective for young, plumper, fresher skin because it encourages collagen formation. Collagen is a protein naturally produced in the body, giving your skin elasticity and protecting your organs. It has now been firmly established that this treatment is a fantastic therapy for anti-ageing and energy levels. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is fully endorsed and safe as beauty therapy.
After your treatment
Enjoy the benefits of your treatment
Once the treatment has finished, you’ll be pleased to know that there is no aftercare, and you can simply just enjoy the various benefits offered by this revolutionary treatment.
