Natural alternatives to traditional skin-care treatments are becoming more appealing to many people. We all want to have younger-looking, smooth skin, but we may not all want to deal with mediations, lotions, and other treatments that have become the norm.

A lot of recent research is pointing toward hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a viable, non-invasive alternative for people who want to smooth out those wrinkles. A lot of research still has to be done, but based on the results we’ve seen, HBOT anti-aging solutions are looking very promising.

Common Contributors to Aging Skin

Wrinkles are, of course, most noticeable on the face, but a proper treatment needs to address the whole body. Why? Because the things that increase wrinkles don’t just attack the face. 

The health of your skin is considered a whole-body health issue because it blocks out infections and foreign materials while helping to control the immune system and produce hormones and neurotransmitters.

So, wrinkles need to be treated as a whole-body issue, and that means understanding some of the most likely contributors to aging skin. 

Wrinkles are, of course, just part of the aging process, but that process is sped up through things like overexposure to the sun, poor diet, lack of sleep, smoking, and more.

As we age, we aren’t able to produce collagen, fibroblast, and elastin the way we could in our youth. Without these components, the skin loses its natural elasticity and wrinkles begin to form. 

Then, things like UV radiation don’t just contribute to wrinkles – it also damages the skin. This damage is symptomatic of something called photoaging, which is normally characterized by dry, rough skin texture, a thicker epidermis, and deep creases to complement the normal wrinkles.

Common Treatments for Aging Skin

While there are ways to prevent and slow aging skin through a healthy diet, drinking water, exercise, and more, some aging is inevitable because, despite our best efforts, we just can’t beat genetics.

That doesn’t stop us from trying, of course, and over the years we’ve developed a lot of ways to attempt to keep the aging at bay. Most of us prefer some minimally invasive solutions, so things like creams, serums, chemical peels, intradermal fillers, and retinols have been used.

There are some other options that are a little more drastic, including surgical procedures like facelifts and other tightening procedures. 

While these solutions all produce varying results, a lot of people still remain disappointed in the final outcome. And, if they’ve been disappointed once, they’re likely going to be leery of any other method that claims to do what everything else couldn’t. 

HBOT for aging skin, on the other, is not exactly a common treatment, and it may offer the solution so many of us are looking for.

A Natural Alternative: HBOT Anti-Aging Treatments

HBOT can drastically improve the skin’s appearance and correct wrinkles from UV damage or natural aging.

“…scientists have found evidence that hyperoxic environments (90% or more oxygen) for 2 hours helped reduce the level of wrinkle formation and epidermal thickness…”

This is just the start, as far as research into how HBOT works on wrinkles, but so far, the results have been very impressive. 

Current research is showing how HBOT can potentially increase skin elasticity by stimulating collagen production, which can effectively reduce wrinkles and give your skin a more youthful appearance. 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a useful treatment when it comes to retaining youthful skin and minimizing damage from UV radiation or photoaging skin. Not only can skin damage be minimized on the face, but the entire body can benefit from HBOT for those who may have spent their younger years laying in the sun or tanning beds.
