Surgical Recovery & Optimisation

The Standard for Wound Healing

The success of your recovery is determined in the first 48 hours after the procedure. Where traditional care stops upon discharge, we accelerate the process.

Our protocol respects the oxygen threshold of 250 mmHg required to eliminate bacteria and minimise scarring—something achievable only in our 2.4 ATA hard-shell chambers. Please note: We maintain a strict No-Heat Protocol (no sauna) during the acute phase to prevent dangerous swelling (oedema).

The Clinical Schedule

Pre-Op Phase (-7 Days): Preparation

Your body requires building blocks before the first incision.

• Home Protocol:
  • AzemKrêft (Nitrate): Daily shot to improve endothelial function. Better circulation means fewer complications during the procedure.
  • Nutrients: Daily Bromelain and Arnica to preventively minimise post-operative bruising. High-dose Arginine to activate collagen formation.

Post-Op Phase (Day 1-7): The Acceleration

A daily regimen focused on circulation without inflammation.

• 09:00 | Phase 1: Cellular Energy (PBM) 20 Minutes | Red Light Direct irradiation of the wound area (or systemic).

  • Mechanism: Red light (660nm) stimulates the mitochondria to produce ATP before we administer oxygen. The ‘engine’ is running, now comes the fuel.
  • Intake: FjoerGoud (Curcumin/Ginger) as a replacement for NSAIDs where possible, owing to its potent anti-inflammatory action without gastric burden.

• 09:30 | Phase 2: Stem Cell Mobilisation (HBOT) Daily 90 minutes at 2.0–2.4 ATA.

  • The Evidence: This triggers an 8-fold increase of your own stem cells (CD34+), which migrate directly to the primed wound area for repair.
  • Infection Prevention: Anaerobic bacteria are killed instantly at these oxygen pressures.

• Afternoon | Safe Lymph & Muscle Preservation

  • NO Hot Sauna: Heat dilates vessels and aggravates swelling where lymph vessels have been severed.
  • Yes: ReLounge (EMS Only): Because you must rest, muscle loss is a risk. We stimulate your muscles electrically without loading the joints. You maintain strength whilst lying down.
  • Yes: Optic Flow (Sanctuary): A calm moment outdoors in De Deelen. Visual stimulus processing without physical exertion.

• Evening | Tissue Repair Intake of Collagen Peptides + Vitamin C for the night, when synthesis of new tissue peaks.
