Give Your Body a Head Start: How HBOT Speeds Up Surgical Recovery

Surgery asks a lot of your body. The stress, inflammation, and tissue repair that follow can leave your system working overtime to catch up. What if you could prime your body before surgery and speed up recovery afterward?

That’s where hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) comes in.

Inside the chamber, pressure allows oxygen to dissolve directly into your plasma.. delivering it far beyond what red blood cells can carry on their own. That means oxygen gets into tissues that are injured, swollen, or vulnerable.

Why does this matter for surgery?

• Before surgery:

• Increases oxygen reserves in tissues

• Prepares your body to handle stress and inflammation

• Strengthens circulation so blood flow is ready where it’s needed most

After surgery:

• Reduces swelling and inflammation

• Fuels faster wound repair and collagen production

• Restores oxygen supply to healing tissues.. especially important after anesthesia, swelling, or trauma

• Can reduce the probability of infection

📚 Studies confirm this: HBOT has been shown to improve oxygen delivery to compromised tissue, reduce complications, and support more complete healing.

Here is a story from our clinic:

Birthmark Removal Surgery

After birthmark removal surgery, our client’s skin flap showed black, oxygen-starved areas. With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, circulation was restored, and the tissue began to turn pink! Proof of oxygen reaching where it’s needed most.

At In Light, we’ve watched clients bounce back from surgery with less downtime, less pain, and stronger outcomes.. because oxygen got to the tissues that needed it most.
