By Dr. Francisco Martínez Peñalver, Specialist in Hyperbaric Medicine
The hyperbaric chamber in Marbella is an advanced therapeutic tool that delivers 100% pure medical oxygen inside a pressurized environment. By significantly increasing oxygen availability in tissues, this therapy becomes a valuable adjunct treatment during post-surgical recovery, regardless of the type of procedure performed.
Main Postoperative Benefits of HBOT
- Accelerated Tissue Healing: Thanks to increased atmospheric pressure, oxygen reaches poorly perfused areas, promoting cellular regeneration, new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), and soft tissue repair. This effect is particularly beneficial in surgeries with a risk of ischemia or impaired healing.
- Reduced Inflammation and Edema: The hyperbaric chamber in Marbella helps modulate the inflammatory response and facilitates the drainage of fluid buildup in tissues, contributing to a faster, more comfortable, and less painful recovery.
- Decreased Post-Surgical Pain: Increased tissue oxygenation reduces local hypoxia and improves the cellular metabolic environment, leading to a significant reduction in pain perception.
- Infection Prevention: The hyperbaric chamber enhances the bactericidal activity of white blood cells, making it an effective strategy to prevent post-surgical infections and strengthen the immune system.
- Improved Aesthetic and Functional Outcomes: In plastic, dermatologic, or reconstructive procedures, HBOT supports cleaner wound healing, lowers the risk of necrosis or fibrosis, and improves graft and flap integration.
- Systemic Rebalancing of the Body: Beyond local effects, HBOT has a systemic impact, improving overall oxygenation and contributing to the patientÔÇÖs general well-being. ItÔÇÖs an integrative therapy that supports both physical and emotional recovery.

- Continuous Medical Supervision: Treatments are prescribed, monitored, and adjusted by experts in hyperbaric medicine, ensuring safety and efficacy at every step.
High vs. Low Pressure: Why It Matters
Not all hyperbaric chambers are the same. From a clinical standpoint, the differences between high-pressure and low-pressure systems are crucial:
- According to the UHMS, only treatments using 100% oxygen at pressures above 2.4 ATA are considered therapeutically effective.
- High-pressure chambers, like the one at TIARA HEALTH, are essential for treating:
- Hard-to-heal surgical wounds
- Chronic infections
- Post-surgical necrosis
- Osteomyelitis
- Gas gangrene
- Low-pressure chambers, often marketed for wellness or aesthetic purposes, do not offer the same medically proven benefits and should not be considered equivalent in efficacy.
ThatÔÇÖs why the type of chamber must always be selected and supervised by a certified hyperbaric medicine specialist.
Most Common Indications in Post-Surgical Settings
Based on our clinical experience, hyperbaric therapy provides notable benefits in patients recovering from:
- Aesthetic and reconstructive surgery
- Orthopedic or trauma-related procedures
- Abdominal or gynecologic surgeries with risk of wound dehiscence
- Graft or flap transplants
- Procedures with a risk of tissue ischemia
Beyond Surgery: A Comprehensive Approach to Healing
Outside of surgical recovery, at TIARA HEALTH we also treat conditions such as:
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
- Migraines
- Sports injuries
- Neurological disorders
- Wound healing complications
- Cellular aging prevention
