At Raggio MD Facial Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, Alabama, we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced and effective recovery protocols available. One of the key components of our comprehensive post-operative care is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), a cutting-edge treatment that accelerates healing and enhances surgical outcomes.
HBOT involves breathing 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing your lungs to gather more oxygen than would be possible when breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. This increased oxygen is carried throughout your body, stimulating the release of growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.(MedWell)
Integrating HBOT into your post-operative care can offer numerous benefits:
Research supports these benefits, indicating that HBOT can significantly improve wound healing in plastic surgery patients. (Oxford Academic)
As part of our commitment to excellence, we offer complimentary HBOT sessions to all our facelift and neck lift patients. Our state-of-the-art hard 2.0 ATA chamber ensures optimal treatment conditions, providing a comfortable and effective healing environment.
Each HBOT session at Raggio MD lasts approximately 90 minutes. During the treatment, you’ll relax in our pressurized chamber, breathing pure oxygen while enjoying a serene environment. Many patients find the experience calming and rejuvenating.
