Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Rosacea?

March 23, 2015
Asked By:MK9 in Los Angeles, CA

I wanted to get a Doctor's opinion on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and it's possible benefits for Rosacea. I have had multiple IPl and VBeam treatments with no success, so I have been interested in other methods that might benefit my skin condition. The only thing that concerns me is that HBOT promotes angiogenesis which wouldn't be good for Rosacea.
