Burns, scalds, frostbite
Numerous medical studies suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help effectively treat burns (thermal, chemical and irradiation), burns or frostbite. Oxygen therapy can help in the treatment of burns by providing extra oxygen to the affected tissues.
The extra oxygen can speed up the healing process by improving blood flow to affected areas and stimulating the formation of new blood vessels. This can help reduce inflammation and prevent infection.
HBOT can also help reduce the pain associated with burns and help reduce scarring.
