What if one of the most powerful anti-aging tools isn't a supplement or a skincare routine — it's a pressurized chamber?
The research on hyperbaric oxygen therapy and longevity is pretty remarkable:
🔬 Telomere length increased by 20%+ after 60 HBOT sessions in a peer-reviewed study (Aging Journal, 2020)
🔬 Senescent "zombie" cells — the ones that age you from the inside — dropped by 37%
🔬 Systemic inflammation markers fell by ~40% over a course of treatment
🔬 Cerebral blood flow increased by up to 52% in memory and cognitive centers
These aren't influencer claims. These are published, peer-reviewed outcomes from clinical trials.
At Del Mar Hyperbarics, our physician-led protocols are built around the same science.
Longevity isn't just about living longer. It's about functioning better, thinking clearer, and recovering faster.
If you're curious about what HBOT could do for you, we'd love to have a conversation.

🩹 Can Oxygen Help Heal Diabetic Foot Ulcers?
For people living with diabetes, a foot wound that refuses to heal can become a serious medical concern. But how can hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) help?
🫧 Here’s the science behind it:
🩸 1. More Oxygen Reaches Damaged Tissue
HBOT uses oxygen under increased pressure to significantly increase the oxygen dissolved in the blood, helping deliver more oxygen to tissues that need it.
🌱 2. Supports Tissue Repair
Oxygen plays an important role in collagen production and the formation of new blood vessels—processes essential to wound healing.
🛡️ 3. Supports the Body’s Healing Response
Adequate oxygen helps certain immune cells function and supports the biological processes involved in repairing damaged tissue.
At Del Mar Hyperbarics, we believe understanding the science is the first step toward making informed healthcare decisions.

📚 We Read The Oxygen Cure by William S. Maxfield — Here Are 3 Things That Caught Our Attention
1. Diabetic foot ulcers: Potentially saving a limb
One of the most powerful applications of HBOT is its potential to help heal certain difficult-to-heal diabetic foot ulcers. In a randomized controlled study of selected patients, 52% of patients receiving HBOT had complete wound healing at one year, compared with 29% in the control group. HBOT was used alongside standard care.
2. TBI: The possibility of improving cognitive function
Maxfield's book explores the possibility that HBOT may help restore cognitive function after traumatic brain injury. More recently, a 2026 review of eight studies involving 570 adults found improvements in certain measures of cognition, memory, processing speed, executive function, and sleep. However, benefits were not demonstrated across all outcomes.
3. Stroke recovery: Research years after the initial injury
A particularly interesting 2013 randomized controlled study examined patients who were 6–36 months past a stroke. Following a specific 40-session HBOT protocol, researchers reported improvements in neurological function and quality of life, alongside changes in brain activity on imaging.

🧠 Could hyperbaric oxygen therapy play a role in stroke recovery?
A stroke can change lives in an instant. For survivors and their families, the journey toward recovery often takes time, patience, and a multidisciplinary approach.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber, increasing the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood. Researchers are investigating whether this increased oxygen availability may support brain tissue and recovery processes in certain neurological conditions.
🔹 Potential areas of research include:
• Brain tissue oxygenation and cellular function
• Inflammation and the body's healing response
• Neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to adapt and reorganize
• Blood vessel growth and tissue repair
🔬 What does the science say? Research into HBOT for stroke recovery is ongoing, and results remain mixed. HBOT is not an established standard treatment for stroke, and it has not been proven to restore lost neurological function in all stroke survivors. It should never replace conventional stroke rehabilitation or medical care.
At Del Mar Hyperbarics, we believe informed decisions start with education, individualized assessment, and medically guided care.

🧠 HBOT & TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY: WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY?
Could hyperbaric oxygen therapy play a role in brain injury research? Scientists are continuing to investigate this important question.
A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis examined 8 studies involving 570 adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers reported improvements in several measured areas:
🧠 Cognitive performance: Improvements in some measures of thinking and cognitive function.
⚡ Processing speed & executive function: Positive findings in certain tests of mental processing and planning.
🧩 Memory: Improvements in some measured memory outcomes.
😴 Sleep quality: The analysis also found improvement in sleep scores.
At Del Mar Hyperbarics, we believe good health education means looking at both the promising science and its limitations.

PTSD & Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: What Does the Research Say?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects the brain and body in complex ways, and researchers are exploring whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) could play a role as an adjunctive approach for some people with PTSD.
Recent research is encouraging—but it is still an emerging area of science.
🧠 1. Researchers are studying brain connectivity
A 2024 randomized, sham-controlled trial in combat-exposed veterans found improvements in PTSD symptoms after a specific HBOT protocol, along with changes in functional connectivity across several brain networks.
🫁 2. HBOT increases oxygen availability
During HBOT, breathing oxygen under increased pressure substantially increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in blood plasma and available to tissues.
🧬 3. It may influence neuroplasticity and inflammation
Researchers are investigating how repeated HBOT exposure may affect pathways associated with neuroplasticity, inflammation, and brain repair. These mechanisms are still being studied in PTSD.
📈 4. Recent studies have reported reductions in PTSD symptoms
A 2026 observational study of U.S. veterans reported substantial reductions in PTSD symptom scores following HBOT, with improvements maintained through six months. Because the study did not have a control group, the results need to be confirmed by larger controlled trials.
🔬 5. More research is needed
The VA currently considers HBOT for PTSD investigational, and the VA/DoD clinical guidance has concluded that there is not yet enough evidence to recommend for or against it. HBOT should not replace established PTSD treatments such as trauma-focused psychotherapy.
At Del Mar Hyperbarics, we believe patients deserve access to both established medical knowledge and emerging research. Our goal is to educate our community about what HBOT can do, what researchers are discovering, and where the science is still developing.

🧠 Can Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Support Brain Health?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is well established for a number of medical conditions, but researchers are also studying how increased oxygen delivery under pressure may affect the brain and nervous system.
Areas of neurological research include:
🧠 Traumatic Brain Injury & Concussions
Research is investigating whether HBOT may influence oxygenation, inflammation, cognitive function, and recovery following brain injury. Recent systematic reviews have reported potential improvements in certain cognitive measures, while also noting that more research is needed.
🩸 Stroke Recovery
Researchers have investigated HBOT as a potential adjunct to rehabilitation and recovery following stroke.
🧬 Neurological Conditions
HBOT has also been studied in conditions including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, migraine, peripheral neuropathy, autism spectrum disorder, and Alzheimer’s disease.
The important takeaway: these neurological applications do not all have the same level of scientific evidence, and many remain investigational rather than established HBOT indications. Treatment decisions should be based on the individual patient, current evidence, and guidance from a qualified medical professional.
At Del Mar Hyperbarics, we believe education comes first. Our goal is to help patients understand the science behind HBOT, where it has established medical applications, and where research is still evolving.

5 Key Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What happens when you give the body significantly more oxygen under pressure?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) increases the amount of oxygen available to the body's tissues and can support several important healing processes.
Here are 5 key benefits of HBOT:
1. 🩸 Increased Oxygen Delivery
Breathing oxygen under pressure dramatically increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood, helping oxygen reach tissues that may have limited oxygen availability.
2. 🩹 Supports Wound Healing
Oxygen is essential for collagen production, tissue repair, and the formation of new blood vessels. HBOT can support these processes, particularly in certain difficult-to-heal wounds.
3. 🌱 Promotes New Blood Vessel Formation
HBOT can stimulate processes involved in angiogenesis—the development of new blood vessels—which can contribute to improved tissue repair and oxygenation over time.
4. 🛡️ Supports the Body's Defense Against Infection
Adequate oxygen helps certain white blood cells function effectively. HBOT can improve oxygen-dependent immune activity and has an established role as an adjunctive treatment for certain serious infections.
5. 🔥 Helps Modulate Swelling & Inflammation
HBOT can influence inflammatory processes and may help reduce tissue edema in certain clinical situations, particularly where injured or compromised tissue is involved.
The bottom line:
HBOT isn't simply about “getting more oxygen.” It's about using oxygen + pressure to create an environment that can support the body's natural repair processes.
At Del Mar Hyperbarics, we're passionate about bringing medically guided hyperbaric oxygen therapy to the Del Mar community.
