Skin, collagen and a fresh complexion

Collagen gives skin its firmness, and it declines with age. Skin is also one of the places where oxygen supply is easy to see.

Wellness and longevity clinics increasingly combine oxygen with skin and beauty programmes. The question people search for is simple: does oxygen help collagen and skin quality?

In a prospective trial, skin biopsies of healthy men around 68 were examined before and after three months of HBOT. Researchers measured higher collagen density, longer elastic fibres, more small blood vessels and fewer senescent cells in the skin. A pilot study measured better microcirculation in peripheral tissue after mild hyperbaric oxygen.

    The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the pathophysiology of skin aging: a prospective clinical trial

    Hachmo Y, et al. · Aging (2021)

    13 healthy men around 68 years

    Skin biopsies were compared after three months without intervention and after three months of daily sessions. After the sessions the researchers saw higher collagen density, longer elastic fibres, more small blood vessels and fewer senescent cells in the skin.

    Beneficial effects of mild hyperbaric oxygen exposure on microcirculation in peripheral tissues in healthy subjects: a pilot study

    Nisa BU, et al. · The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness (2022)

    15 healthy adults

    Seventy minutes at 1.4 ATA with 35–39.5% oxygen were compared with normal air. In the mild hyperbaric condition oxygen saturation rose to 100%, heart rate fell and blood velocity and flow in the small capillaries of the finger increased.
