India. Cutting edge technology that keeps your skin & you young - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

For thousands of years, we have been looking for a fountain of youth that would break the cycle of aging and deterioration. It is not only about perfect skin –  But about keeping the mind and body healthy and active for as long as possible.

The quest for a magical wand that would help us remain young forever has consumed mankind throughout history and across many cultures. The search for a fountain of youth has given birth to various myths over time.

Nobody likes seeing the little signs of aging. So, we spend thousands of dollars a year on fancy-pants creams, treatments and surgeries to help us look and feel young. But, despite our efforts, none of these products or procedures can actually stop time or make any major difference in the appearance of your skin.

It is no secret that repeated exposure to sun or tanning beds causes wrinkles and skin damage. The harmful, carcinogenic rays of the sun destroy collagen, elastin, and produces atypical skin cells that can’t act like young skin. More than that, unprotected sun exposure strips your skin from important substances, such as lecithin and ceramides, leaving it more vulnerable to sun, smoke, and pollution.

How your skin ages and wrinkles is a complex series of events. Wrinkles as well as many other skin problems such as acne or blemishes are caused by a wide range of factors from exposure to the environment,  toxins, pollution and smoking to poor nutrition and sun damage.

Again, wrinkles caused by aging are genetically programmed to appear over time. As we get old, our body produces less fibroblast, collagen, and elastin, which causes the skin to lose its elasticity. Gender wise, women seem to age faster than men due to the estrogen levels in thinner bodies.

The hormone levels change during menopause, affecting the elasticity and texture of the skin. Skin becomes thinner and doesn’t bounce back when you pinch it. The parts of the face you use the most get more wrinkles faster than the others. More than that, as facial muscles lose elasticity over time, your skin sags.

As we age, our skin cells do not get as many vital nutrients as they used to. Whether it’s because of stress factors, excessive exposure to the sun or our lifestyles. 

Studies have shown that the older the skin gets, the less oxygen it receives. That happens because blood flow in our body gets slower with every passing year. Oxygen not only improves blood flow, but it can also counteract low oxygen levels that lead to slow cell activity. As a result, skin cell metabolism increases, making cell membranes more flexible.

So, healthy circulation can help keep our skin young and vibrant. However, the cells need oxygen to thrive and function. The fact that we breathe air does not promise that our skin is receiving enough oxygen.

As the amount of oxygen in your blood streams increases, every cell in your body is saturated with 100% oxygen, accelerating body’s natural healing process and keeping the skin young and rejuvenated.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) might just be the best way to stay young and healthy as long as possible. In HBOT, patients breathe 100% pure oxygen in a clinical or wellness settings. The treatment is administered in pressurized chambers, where patients breathe pure 100% oxygen under an atmospheric pressure up to three times higher than normal.

By HBOT oxygen is dissolved and forced deep into the tissues. The process pushes oxygen beyond the red blood cells and into the blood plasma, lymph, and interstitial fluid. As a result, HBOT allows oxygen to reach areas where the circulation is usually blocked or diminished. Now, the oxygen-rich blood can get to damaged tissues, letting the body jumpstart the healing process.

Here are some facts one may want to know about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and what it can do to your skin and body.

* Increases collagen and elastin production

* Increases antioxidant production 

* Enhances the bodies immune system and ability to fight infection

* Detoxifies the body (side effects from air pollution, toxic food etc.)

* Removes free radicals

* Reduces swelling

* Acts as an anti-inflammatory

* Increases neuronal energy metabolism in the brain

* Can improve concentration and cognitive function

* Wakes up sleeping (idling) brain cells that are metabolizing enough to stay alive. 

HBOT is painless and gentle, effortless yet effective and the results are visible immediately. The benefits  of hyperbaric oxygen therapy expands well beyond skin rejuvenation.

When you begin to add the numerous benefits hyperbaric oxygen therapy have on your health and combine them with the impact it has in stimulating collagen production and improve skin elasticity, it is clear that HBOT, in fact, has anti-aging properties that keeps you and your skin looking young.
