Topical Steroid Withdrawral (TSW)

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can help with Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) by reducing inflammation, accelerating skin healing, and supporting the body’s detoxification process. TSW often leads to severe skin irritation, redness, burning, and hypersensitivity due to long-term steroid use suppressing the skin’s natural healing mechanisms.

HBOT increases oxygen delivery to damaged skin, promoting collagen production and tissue repair, which helps restore the skin barrier more quickly. Additionally, HBOT reduces systemic inflammation by modulating the immune response, decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and boosting anti-inflammatory molecules, which can alleviate the intense flare-ups associated with TSW.

It also enhances detoxification by improving circulation and flushing out residual toxins from the body, aiding in the removal of accumulated steroid byproducts. Many individuals suffering from TSW experience extreme fatigue and immune dysregulation, both of which HBOT can help address by increasing cellular energy production (ATP) and supporting immune function.

Overall, HBOT provides a natural, non-invasive approach to reducing symptoms and accelerating recovery from TSW.
