Increased oxygen delivery
Oxygen dissolves into plasma under pressure, reaching tissue beyond what red blood cells alone supply.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen under pressure, where healing needs it.
Pressurized oxygen raises the amount carried in the blood and delivered to healing tissue. In recovery, that supports wound healing, reduces swelling and bruising, and helps tissue with a compromised blood supply.
Overview
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers 100% oxygen at a pressure greater than sea level. Under pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into blood plasma and reaches tissue that a reduced blood supply would otherwise limit.
After surgery, healing depends on oxygen reaching the incision and the tissue around it. Procedures that move, thin, or rebuild tissue, including reconstruction, flap procedures, and revision after radiation, can leave areas where circulation is marginal. Hyperbaric therapy raises the oxygen available to those areas during the window when healing is most active.
It is one input among several. The recovery team decides whether it applies to a given case based on the procedure, the tissue, and how healing is progressing.
How it works
Reduced swelling
Higher tissue oxygen narrows blood vessels in a way that lowers fluid accumulation without reducing oxygenation.
Wound support
Oxygen drives the collagen formation, new vessel growth, and cellular activity that incisions depend on.
Tissue at risk
Areas with marginal circulation, including irradiated or previously operated tissue, benefit most.
When it's used
Timed to your recovery, not a menu.
Before surgery
In selected cases, a course of sessions before surgery conditions tissue with a known circulation risk.
Early recovery
Sessions in the first days and weeks support healing while the incision is most active.
As needed
If an area shows slow healing or compromise, the team may add sessions in response.
Who it's for
Most relevant for reconstruction patients, flap procedures, revision surgery, and any case where prior radiation or prior surgery has reduced tissue blood supply. Not every recovery requires it.
Every aftercare service is coordinated directly between your surgeon and your recovery providers. Nothing is handed off, and nothing is added without a reason specific to your case.
