Oxygen Therapy

Oxymist® Oxygen Therapy - Oxymist® treatments are an adjunct to the laser procedures performed at Orange County Plastic Surgery. Highly concentrated oxygen can be administered to the skin with the Oxymist® system. It serves as an adjunct to wound healing after surgery or laser resurfacing. The oxygen promotes healing and kills surface bacteria. Normally, after the deeper erbium or CO2 laser resurfacing procedures, the skin surface will stay raw for up to two weeks before new skin grows in to cover the entire treated surface. Utilizing Oymist® treatments, the healing process is sped up and the results can be quite astonishing, frequently leaving the patient with a nicely healed, pink surface within a week of surgery. This will hasten the time the patient will be allowed to use make up and expedite returning to work or normal social function.
