HBOT after a hair transplant: questions for your surgeon
Understand the options. Keep your aftercare plan at the centre.
If you are considering HBOT after a hair transplant, start with your surgeon’s aftercare instructions. Ask whether an additional service is appropriate for your recovery and whether any timing restrictions apply.
Research into hyperbaric oxygen and platelet preparations does not establish that My BioHealth’s mild-pressure sessions improve graft survival or make PRP or PRF more effective. HBOT and platelet treatments are separate services, with suitability, timing and costs discussed individually.
Your transplant team’s aftercare comes first
Share your surgeon’s written instructions with your treating clinician. The procedure, healing progress, medicines and any complications influence which appointments may be appropriate.
There is no universal date for starting PRP, PRF or an additional chamber session after a transplant. Ask your surgeon and treating clinician to confirm timing for your circumstances.
For a healing concern or possible surgical complication, contact your transplant team or an appropriate medical practitioner. A wellness session does not replace surgical aftercare.
HBOT after a transplant and HBOT before PRP are different questions
One question concerns recovery after surgery. Another concerns whether oxygen exposure before blood collection changes a platelet preparation. Evidence for one does not prove a benefit for the other.
A combined appointment is an option for individual discussion, not a requirement for platelet treatment or a proven way to improve transplant outcomes.
What the platelet-preconditioning study actually studied
The cited study involved rats and fracture healing. It examined PRP collected after repeated hyperbaric oxygen exposure, rather than human hair transplantation, human facial treatment or PRF.
Researchers used 100% oxygen at 3.0 ATA over a two-week course, collecting blood 24 hours after the final session. That protocol is different from a single mild-pressure appointment before a hair treatment.
Reported changes in the animal preparation and bone-healing measures do not establish better hair growth, graft survival or stronger PRP/PRF from My BioHealth’s protocol. Oxygen becoming dissolved in circulating plasma does not prove that it remains trapped in a collected and processed platelet preparation.

Discuss suitability, timing and separate costs
Ask your team why each service is being considered, what evidence supports it, what risks and alternatives apply, and how much each appointment costs. Tell them about recent surgery, medicines, wounds and ear or sinus problems. Clearance from your surgeon or medical practitioner may be required.

Book your consultation
Your first step is a 15-minute consultation, including for returning PRP, PRF, ACP and ACP MAX clients. Discuss your hair goals and whether HBOT should be included before your treatment.
The consultation is complimentary. A $50 booking deposit is refunded at the appointment to the same card or credited toward treatment that day if you choose to proceed. Same-day treatment depends on suitability and appointment availability.
At least 48 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellation or a no-show forfeits the deposit, which is not refundable or redeemable. See booking terms.
