Hair transplantation patients who were treated with a 7 day course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at 2.0 ATA (60 minute sessions) were able to minimize the post-surgical follicle shedding. This, in turn, lead to less folliculitis and itching, which provides evidence for HBOT to act as an adjuvant therapy for hair transplantation surgery. <view study> Read Less

Bone loss is a common problem seen in the aging population, mainly due to disuse. This is also a seen in astronauts, patients that are on extended bed rests, and in people leading a sedentary lifestyle. Disuse-induced Bone Loss is can lead to osteoporosis and higher risks of bone fractures. When bones are more frequently subjected to mechanical loads (i.e. weight-bearing exercise), bones adapt by increasing in bone mass. The opposite occurs when the bones are not regularly exposed to mechanical loads leading to a loss of bone mass and increased risk of fracture. In this study, a 10 day course of mild hyperbaric therapy (1.3 ATA) was shown to protect and counter disuse-induced bone loss while helping to enhance new bone formation. <view study> Read Less

“In this case-series, 67 patients who underwent HBOT for late radiation tissue injury after breast cancer reported significant improvement in pain, fibrosis, edema, and shoulder movement. The improvement persisted up to 12 months after HBOT” <view study> Read Less

With the increasing popularity of facial filler injections, growing numbers of complications have been reported. This is a case of a 60-year-old female with vision changes and keratitis following hyaluronic acid (HA) facial filler injections. She underwent a total of only 9 hyperbaric (90 minute) sessions. She stated that her vision began to improve within 20 minutes of the first session and she completely recovered following her 10 day hyperbaric protocol” <view study> Read Less
