Healing Proven by Science
Perfected by AEROVI

Discover the clinical data supporting oxygen and light as essential tools in pre- and post-surgical recovery — improving tissue repair, collagen synthesis, and overall healing performance.

Clinical Studies & Research

Science is the foundation of everything we do. These studies reveal how oxygen and light work in harmony to restore balance, rebuild tissue, and refine results — transforming recovery into something truly restorative.

HBOT STUDIES – PRECONDITIONING, FLAP/GRAFT SALVAGE & AESTHETIC SURGERY OUTCOMES

1. Hyperbaric Oxygen Preconditioning Can Reduce Postabdominoplasty Complications: A Retrospective Cohort Study

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6846320/

Retrospective cohort (n=356) of abdominoplasty patients. Preoperative HBOT was associated with a drop in overall complications from 32.6% to 8.4% (~74% relative reduction); flap/tissue necrosis fell from 6.2% to 0%. Protocol details are not listed in the abstract; see full text for exact preconditioning regimen.

2. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment for mastectomy flap ischaemia: A case series of 50 breasts

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33761535/

Prospective cohort of 65 patients/50 breasts with mastectomy flap ischemia. Reported outcomes included 55% complete healing and 34% marked improvement (~89% improved). Protocol specifics are not provided in the abstract.

3. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Threatened Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy Flaps: An Adjunct for Flap Salvage

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36913565/

Retrospective series (25 breasts). Primary outcomes were flap salvage and reoperation. Flap salvage achieved in 88% (22/25); reoperation in 12%. Protocol: 90-minute sessions at 2.0 ATA, once or twice daily postoperatively; mean time to HBOT initiation 9.5±12.7 days; mean follow-up ~36 days.

4. Evaluating the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat mastectomy skin flap ischemia in breast reconstruction: A single-institution retrospective analysis

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39609143/

Single-institution retrospective analysis (n=23). HBOT deemed successful in 65% (15/23) for preventing major complications. Among successes, 11 began HBOT immediately post-op. Average number of treatments was 11. Pressure/duration parameters not provided in abstract.

5. Assessing the Efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Facelift Outcomes: A Case-Control Study Comparing Outcomes in Patients With and Without Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37529413/

Case-control facelift study (HBOT n=9; control n=11). Mean wound-healing time: 13.3 days (HBOT) vs 36.9 days (control), p<.001 (~64% faster). Protocol: mean 7.22 sessions, each ~78±5 minutes (pressure not reported in abstract).

6. The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with hair transplantation surgery for the treatment of alopecia

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32770782/

Randomized controlled trial (n=34) in FUE hair transplantation. HBOT reduced early shedding (27.6% vs 69.1%) and decreased folliculitis/itching (11.8% vs 35.3%); 9 month survival similar (96.9% vs 93.8%). Protocol: 2.0 ATA for 60 minutes daily for 7 consecutive days post-op via facemask.

RED LIGHT THERAPY

1. LED Red Light for Reduction of PostnSurgical Scarring (SplitnFace RCT)

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8919713/

Phase II randomized controlled trial (n = 90 incisions) found treated sides showed a 26% improvement in scar appearance after 12 weeks. 100% tolerated treatment; only transient redness reported.

2. Photobiomodulation for Ecchymosis After Rhinoplasty (Randomized Controlled Trial)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32410200/

RCT of 40 patients using 660 nm and 830 nm PBM starting day 1 postnop for 5 days. Periorbital bruising decreased by ~40% and swelling resolved faster (p < 0.05). PMID: 32410200

 

3. 830 nm LED After Blepharoplasty (Periocular Surgery)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39443322/

Controlled study (n = 28) showed 31% lower edema and 42% less pain within 48 hours versus control; no adverse effects noted. PMID: 39443322

 

4. Photobiomodulation After Abdominoplasty (Controlled Clinical Trial)

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30483937/

Doublenblind controlled trial (n = 20). Early woundnhealing index improved 23% versus control at day 7; no adverse events. PMID: 30483937

 

5. BluenLight PBM for Complicated PostnSurgical Breast Wounds (Pilot Study)

https://journals.lww.com/prsgo/fulltext/2025/07000/pilot_study__blue_light_photobiomodulation_for_the.74.aspx

Pilot case series (n = 10) after breast reconstruction: 80% achieved complete closure within 4 weeks vs > 6 weeks historically. PRS Global Open (2025)

 

6. LownLevel Laser Therapy Reduces Pain After Breast Augmentation (RCT)

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/074880680902600303

Randomized controlled study (n = 40). Pain scores reduced 47% at 24 h and 55% at 1 week compared to placebo (p < 0.01). Aesthet Surg J (2009)

 

7. Adjunctive 830 nm LED Therapy Minimizes PostnOp Sequelae and Downtime (Review / Series)

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4751092/

Clinical review: 830 nm LED treatments accelerated bruise and edema resolution 30n40% faster, reducing downtime ~3 days.
