SKIN HEALTH, SCARRING & BEAUTY RECOVERY

Calm redness. Smooth scars. Heal beautifully.

Safe, at-home Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — to improve skin oxygenation and microcirculation, calm inflammation/oedema, support cellular (mitochondrial) energy, fibroblast activity, and collagen-elastin formation with gentle angiogenesis.
Helps settle post-procedure swelling, bruising and tenderness (laser, microneedling, peels, injectables, grafts and cosmetic surgery), supports barrier repair and clearer, more even skin tone, and aids scar remodelling so marks mature flatter/softer over time.

You deserve to feel at home in your skin.

Hot, flushed redness that won’t settle. Puffiness and oedema that makes you avoid the camera.
Bruising, itching and that prickly, tight feeling after treatments.
Scars that pull, shine or feel raised; stiffness around a joint; tingling or numb patches that make clothes rub.
Make-up stings, skincare burns, sleep is restless, and every mirror check becomes a worry -especially with a big date, meeting or photo day coming up.
Clinic trips take energy you don’t have; you want recovery that’s private, gentle and paced to you.

You deserve calm, comfort and progress you can feel - skin that settles, scars that soften, confidence that returns.

How HBOT Helps with Skin Health, Scarring & Beauty Recovery

Inside a gently pressurised soft-shell chamber, at-home Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) increases oxygen dissolved in your blood plasma and other body fluids. More oxygen reaches the skin and soft tissues - even when local blood flow is reduced after cosmetic procedures, dermatology treatments or injury. This supports:

  • Better microcirculation & less puffiness – improved blood flow to tissue helps settle oedema, warmth and redness so skin feels calmer and looks less swollen.

  • Faster bruise & wound recovery – oxygen supports capillary repair, epithelialisation and angiogenesis, helping bruising fade sooner and surface tissue heal more cleanly.

  • Stronger collagen & elastin remodelling – improved oxygen availability supports fibroblast activity and collagen production, promoting firmer, more supple skin.

  • Softer, flatter scars & more comfort – supports healthy scar maturation, easing itch/tightness and helping scars become less raised and more flexible over time.

  • Calmer inflammation & irritation – can help down-regulate pro-inflammatory signalling, soothing post-treatment flare-ups and sensitivity.

  • More even tone & radiance – healthier microcirculation and oxidative-stress balance can support a brighter, more even appearance.

  • Easier day-to-day recovery at home – private sessions can reduce stress, support sleep quality, and make graded skincare or rehab easier to tolerate.

HBOT is used alongside your skincare, dermatology or cosmetic-procedure plan; it is not a treatment for skin cancer and does not replace medical care.

 FAQs

  • HBOT gently increases oxygen dissolved in your plasma and body fluids, so more oxygen reaches skin and soft tissue even if local blood flow is limited after surgery or cosmetic treatments. Better oxygenation can support microcirculation, reduce inflammation/oedema, and encourage collagen production, angiogenesis and healthy scar remodelling - foundations for smoother, calmer skin.

  • It’s an adjunct to your surgeon’s plan. Many people use HBOT during the first 2–6 weeks to help settle swelling/bruising, improve comfort, and support incision healing. Over months, better oxygen availability may aid collagen remodelling, helping scars mature to a flatter, softer appearance.

  • HBOT won’t erase scars. It may calm inflammation and support collagen balance so scars can mature more favourably. For hypertrophic/keloid scars, it’s sometimes used after procedures (excision, laser, steroid injections) to support healing and comfort - always follow your dermatologist’s advice.

  • Often yes, as an adjunct. Many clinicians allow HBOT 24–72 hours after energy-based procedures once skin is intact (no active oozing). It may help reduce redness, swelling and downtime and support barrier repair. Always confirm timing with your provider.

  • Typically yes, with your injector’s approval. Most people wait 24–48 hours post-injection, avoid facial compression on fresh filler sites, and then resume. HBOT doesn’t dissolve hyaluronic acid filler; it supports microcirculation and comfort.

  • HBOT supports microcirculation and can help settle oedema and tenderness so bruising and puffiness feel more manageable. Results vary by person and procedure.

  • By supporting cellular (mitochondrial) energy and collagen/elastin quality, people often report smoother texture and a more even, calm look. It’s not a facelift or wrinkle eraser - think recovery and skin function support, not a replacement for cosmetic treatments.

  • Follow your surgeon’s guidance. Many begin once medically stable and comfortable to equalise ears - often within a few days to 1–2 weeks. Start times vary by procedure and individual healing.

  • Common patterns:

    • Post-procedure/post-op: 60–90 minutes, 4–6 days/week for 2–4 weeks (10–20 sessions).

    • Stubborn scars/complex healing: up to 20–40 sessions over several weeks.
      Your plan should match your procedure, timeline and tolerance.

  • Many notice comfort/swelling changes within the first 3–6 sessions. Scar appearance evolves over weeks to months as collagen remodels. Consistency + good wound/skin care = best outcomes.

  • Pricing is a flat-rate 6-week rental with no per-session fees. In NZ, HBOT is generally not covered by ACC or standard health insurance outside hospital indications.

  • We provide at-home HBOT with delivery, set-up and unlimited sessions during your rental, making it easier to stay consistent through cycles. Pricing depends on programme length - ask us for current rates.

  • For cosmetic recovery and skin comfort, soft-chamber HBOT (~1.3 ATA) at home is widely used because it’s frequent and convenient. High-pressure hospital HBOT (≥2.0 ATA) is reserved for specific medical indications. Ask your clinician which setting suits your goal.
