Healing Energy Revived by the Power of Oxygen

Hyperbaric Oxygen TherapyHBOT

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment that involves inhaling 100% pure oxygen in an environment with a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure (1.5 to 3.0 ATA), effectively delivering oxygen to the body’s tissues.

Book a consultation

In short

  • You breathe 100% pure oxygen inside a chamber pressurised to 1.5–3.0 ATA — above normal atmospheric pressure.
  • That pressure raises how much oxygen dissolves in your blood, so more of it reaches tissue that circulation struggles to supply.
  • It is used here to support recovery and reduce swelling after other treatments, rather than as a standalone aesthetic procedure.
  • Sessions run in a private suite with an intercom to the medical team throughout.
  • Effects and suitability vary by individual and are confirmed at consultation.

WHY IT'S USED HERE

Recovery support, from the inside

At DA Dermatology Dosan, HBOT sits within the D:Aging programme as inner care that supports what happens after treatment.

  • Faster recovery and swelling reduction

    Used after various treatments to support the body's own recovery process.

  • Immune system boost and anti-aging benefits

    Oxygen delivery that supports cellular metabolism throughout the body.

  • Improved blood & lymph circulation

    Better oxygen supply to tissue that circulation reaches poorly.

THE MECHANISM

How it works in the body

Four documented actions of hyperbaric oxygen — the reason it supports recovery rather than merely feeling restorative.

  1. 01

    Increased tissue oxygen supply

    The amount of dissolved oxygen in the blood is enhanced, delivering more oxygen to the tissues. This process helps improve hypoxia by delivering oxygen to damaged tissues and areas with poor blood circulation, while also promoting cellular metabolism and the healing process.

  2. 02

    Wound healing enhancement

    By stimulating the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), new capillaries are formed around damaged tissues, accelerating the wound healing process.

  3. 03

    Inflammation suppression and immune enhancement

    By regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant system, excessive inflammatory responses are minimised, preventing tissue damage. Additionally, immune cell activity is enhanced, boosting overall immune function.

  4. 04

    Cell regeneration and nerve protection

    This treatment enhances mitochondrial function in nerve cells and stimulates stem cell activation to promote nerve recovery. It is applicable in the treatment of various conditions such as stroke and traumatic brain injury.

FAQ

Common questions

What is actually happening inside the chamber?

You breathe 100% pure oxygen while the chamber is held at 1.5–3.0 ATA — a pressure higher than normal atmosphere. That combination increases how much oxygen dissolves in your blood, so more of it reaches the tissues, including areas where circulation is poor.

Is it claustrophobic? Can I reach someone?

The suite is private and fitted with transparent sliding doors, so staff can monitor you discreetly throughout. An intercom system allows real-time communication with the medical team at any point during the session.

Why would a dermatology clinic offer this?

Here it is inner care rather than a standalone aesthetic procedure. It is used to support faster recovery and reduce swelling after other treatments, alongside circulation and immune support.

How does it help wounds heal?

Hyperbaric oxygen stimulates the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which forms new capillaries around damaged tissue — accelerating the healing process.

Isn't more oxygen a source of oxidative stress?

The therapy works by regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) alongside the antioxidant system, which is how excessive inflammatory responses are minimised and tissue damage prevented.

Is it suitable for everyone?

No. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a medical treatment and suitability depends on your health history and current condition. It is confirmed by a physician at your consultation.

Recovery is part of the result

Oxygen delivered under pressure supports the body while it repairs — which is why HBOT sits alongside the other D:Aging programmes rather than apart from them.

Results and recovery vary by individual. This page describes a medical treatment; it is not a guarantee of outcome.
