RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: The use of facial fillers has increased over the years because they are less invasive and present lower risks and faster results, along with shorter recovery time. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a possible treatment for vascular complications resulting from facial fillers. METHODOLOGY: This is a retrospective study of a series of patients treated at with hyperbaric oxygen therapy at the Brazilian Institute for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (Instituto de Oxigenoterapia Hiperbárica do Brasil), after vascular complications from facial fillers. CONCLUSION: The association of oxygen therapy in a hyperbaric chamber with the conventional protocol for treating vascular occlusion from facial filler procedures was found to be effective.
