ibex Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Saving Skin Necrosis Without Ear Pain

Hello, I’m Dr. Park Sung-hyeok, director of Nuneopgi Plastic Surgery.

Medicine is advancing at a dazzling pace, and among these developments, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is playing an innovative role in skin tissue regeneration and improving blood circulation.

Especially in the field of plastic surgery, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is emerging as an important option for preventing and treating skin necrosis after surgery.

When people hear “hyperbaric oxygen therapy,” many immediately think of ear pain or discomfort. However, the recently spotlighted “ibex hyperbaric oxygen therapy” is being introduced as a way to compensate for these traditional drawbacks and maximize treatment effects in a safer and more comfortable way.

In this post, I’ll explain in detail—from the principles of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to the features of ibex treatment, and even real skin necrosis treatment cases—from the perspective of a plastic surgery specialist.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy? ibex Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment method in which oxygen at a pressure higher than normal atmospheric pressure is supplied to the patient inside a specially made chamber.

During this process, the oxygen concentration in the body rises sharply, which promotes cell regeneration and improves blood flow. In particular, by intensively supplying oxygen to tissues in a hypoxic state, it has the major advantage of speeding up the recovery of damaged tissue.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is mainly used for burns, diabetic foot, tissue damage after radiation therapy, and prevention and treatment of skin necrosis after plastic surgery, and its treatment effects have been proven in various clinical fields.

ibex Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Without Ear Pain

Conventional hyperbaric oxygen therapy often caused ear pain during the process of increasing pressure inside the chamber. For patients sensitive to pressure changes, this sometimes led them to stop treatment or complain greatly of discomfort.

To address exactly this issue, ABT technology from ibex was developed. This technology reduces the sudden pressure changes that cause ear pain and uses a more precise and safer pressure control system, making it a patented product that allows hyperbaric oxygen therapy to be performed without discomfort.

In fact, many patients say that the hyperbaric oxygen therapy device at Nuneopgi Plastic Surgery is much more comfortable than conventional hyperbaric oxygen therapy devices, and as a result, treatment continuation rates and satisfaction are also very high.

ibex Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Skin Necrosis Treatment

The area that plastic surgeons pay particular attention to is the treatment of “skin necrosis.”

After surgery, skin necrosis can occur due to poor blood flow or infection. In such cases, if prompt action is not taken, the skin may gradually necrose, leading not only to scarring but also to revision surgery. In situations like this, hyperbaric oxygen therapy shows excellent effectiveness in reviving skin on the verge of necrosis.

Oxygen is essential for tissue regeneration, and ibex hyperbaric oxygen therapy in particular has excellent oxygen delivery efficiency, allowing it to supply sufficient oxygen even to areas where microvessels have been damaged.

In actual clinical cases as well, there have been many instances where applying ibex treatment at the early stage of necrosis restored skin color, reduced inflammation, and led to recovery without additional incision.

Precautions for ibex Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Of course, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not a cure-all. There are several precautions.

First, patients with high blood pressure, lung disease, or ear-nose-throat conditions should undergo a pre-treatment examination to determine whether the therapy is appropriate. Second, you should not carry any metallic objects during treatment, and you must maintain the designated clothing and posture.

Third, immediately after treatment, you may temporarily feel dizziness or a sense of fullness in the ears, but most people recover quickly. Above all, it is important to establish a treatment plan tailored to your individual condition through sufficient consultation with the medical staff.

ibex hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a new type of treatment that has dramatically improved the inconveniences of the past, and it has established itself as a very useful option, especially for plastic surgery-related skin damage or necrosis treatment.

By supplying oxygen to tissues comfortably and more precisely without ear pain, it greatly contributes to shortening patients’ recovery time and improving treatment satisfaction.

If your skin color darkens after surgery or you feel that recovery is slow, consider hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and in particular ibex treatment.
