Oxygen-Enhanced Regenerative Support

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — Oxygen-Enhanced Healing

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) uses a pressurized, oxygen-rich chamber to enhance the body's natural healing processes — used at Viezec alongside regenerative therapies to improve recovery for chronic wounds, burns, and injury.

Quick answer

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) increases blood oxygen levels by having patients breathe concentrated oxygen in a pressurized chamber, stimulating growth factor release, new blood vessel formation, and reduced inflammation. At Viezec, HBOT is used alongside stem cell therapy to support faster healing for chronic wounds, burns, and crush injuries.

Understanding the approach

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

HBOT is an advanced medical treatment where patients breathe close to 100% pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, increasing oxygen levels in the blood and enhancing the body's natural healing processes.

Increased Oxygen Delivery

Elevated pressure allows oxygen to dissolve more deeply into blood plasma.

Growth Factor Release

Stimulates the release of growth factors and stem cells.

New Blood Vessel Formation

Supports the formation of new blood vessels in damaged tissue.

Inflammation Reduction

Helps reduce inflammation and support faster tissue repair.

Where it's used

Conditions HBOT Supports

HBOT is used at Viezec alongside regenerative therapies to improve recovery outcomes for a range of conditions.

  • Chronic wounds and diabetic foot ulcers
  • Burns and skin grafts
  • Crush injuries
  • Brain injury and stroke recovery
  • Support alongside stem cell therapy — HBOT may enhance stem cell survival and activity
  • General recovery and tissue repair support

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)?

HBOT is a treatment where patients breathe concentrated oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, increasing blood oxygen levels to support healing and tissue repair.

How does HBOT support stem cell therapy?

Research indicates HBOT may increase the survival and activity of administered stem cells by improving oxygen delivery to target tissue, which is why it is often combined with regenerative treatment.

Is HBOT safe?

HBOT is generally considered safe when administered under proper medical supervision, though it should be discussed with a physician given individual health factors.

What conditions is HBOT used for?

Common uses include chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, burns, crush injuries, and as a supportive therapy alongside stem cell treatment.

How many HBOT sessions are typically needed?

The number of sessions varies by condition and treatment goals; your care team will recommend a plan based on individual assessment.

Does HBOT replace other treatments?

No. HBOT is generally used as a supportive therapy alongside other treatments such as regenerative therapy or wound care, not as a standalone cure.

How many hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions are typically needed?

Treatment plans vary by condition, ranging from a handful of sessions for acute issues to 20–40 sessions for chronic conditions, as determined by the treating physician.

Are there any risks associated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Possible risks include ear pressure discomfort and, rarely, oxygen toxicity, which is why sessions are supervised by trained staff in controlled chambers.
