Abstract

Introduction: Aesthetic medicine is characterized by the efficacy and safety of treatments. Although sometimes adverse events could be occurred, in this case vascular occlusion is the most serious of them. The tissue is deprived of oxygen and there is a possibility of necrosis, so it is necessary to remove the tissue filler and promote oxygenation.

Objective: We propose the hyperbaric oxygenation treatment to oxygenate the tissue after vascular occlusion generated by a tissue filler such as Hyaluronic Acid.

Results: We show how hyperbaric oxygenation treatment is an adjuvant therapy after vascular occlusion, improving tissue regeneration and prevent or limit scars or sequelae.

Conclusion: Hyperbaric oxygenation treatment is a safe and effective method to treat vascular accident, improving tissue oxygenation in early cases and improving tissue regeneration in cases with necrosis.
