Supporting your recovery after surgery
Whether you are recovering from plastic surgery/reconstructive surgery or another significant operation, the weeks following surgery place new demands on the body.
At GLO, we support post-operative patients and the clinics caring for them with a carefully considered programme of recovery-focused therapies.
There is growing recognition and referral in the medical field for therapies that sit alongside post - operative recovery. Our approach offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy, red and near-infrared light therapy, and PEMF to support the body's natural recovery processes — alongside, the care and rehabilitation provided by your surgical team.
Recovery doesn't stop when surgery does
After an operation, the body has a lot to do.
Tissue needs to repair. Incisions need to heal. Swelling and inflammation need to settle. Mobility gradually returns. And the body needs time, energy and resources to rebuild.
Our post-operative programmes are designed to complement your existing recovery plan by supporting key processes involved in healing and recovery.
Depending on your surgery, stage of recovery and clinical advice, your programme may include:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
More oxygen, where your body needs it
After surgery, healing tissue needs oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the amount of oxygen available to the body's tissues by combining high-pressure air with concentrated oxygen.
Oxygen plays an important role in tissue repair, including collagen production, cellular repair and the formation of new blood vessels.
For some post-operative patients — particularly where tissue is compromised or oxygen supply is a concern — HBOT can be used as an adjunct to clinical care to support tissue recovery.
Why it may help after surgery:
Increases oxygen availability to tissues
Supports the processes involved in tissue repair
Supports collagen production and new blood-vessel formation
Can be particularly relevant where healing tissue is compromised
In simple terms: helping deliver more oxygen to the tissues working hardest to heal.
Oxydise Soft-Sitting 1.5 ATA Chamber
Designed for consistent, clinical-grade hyperbaric sessions.
Professional-grade, UKCA-compliant soft-shell system designed for safe, self-operable use at home, in clinics, or wellness spaces.
Delivers gentle 1.5 ATA pressure and 90–96 % oxygen purity, helping support energy, circulation, recovery, and overall wellbeing.
Includes a medical-grade oxygen concentrator (no external tanks required) and a quiet, air-conditioned compressor for optimal comfort.
Our Tech
Red & near-infrared light therapy
Supporting cells as they repair and recover
Red and near-infrared light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate biological activity within cells.
After surgery, this is being studied for its potential to support wound healing and manage post-operative pain. Recent research has found promising results, although evidence varies between procedures and treatment protocols.
At GLO, red and near-infrared light therapy is used as a non-invasive recovery treatment, supporting the body's natural cellular processes.
Why it may help after surgery:
Supports cellular activity involved in tissue repair
May support wound-healing processes
May help with post-operative discomfort
Supports collagen and tissue-repair processes
Provides a non-invasive treatment that can sit alongside your wider recovery plan
In simple terms: giving your cells an additional stimulus while they're busy repairing and rebuilding.
PEMF
Supporting comfort, circulation and tissue recovery
PEMF — pulsed electromagnetic field therapy — uses electromagnetic fields to interact with the body.
Research has explored PEMF as a supportive treatment during recovery from injury and surgery, including its potential effects on pain, inflammation, circulation and tissue healing.
For post-operative patients, the aim is to support the body's recovery while helping you feel more comfortable as you gradually return to normal movement and activity.
Why it may help after surgery:
May support post-operative comfort
May help manage inflammation and swelling
Supports the body's natural recovery processes
Has been studied in relation to soft-tissue healing
Can complement rehabilitation and a gradual return to movement
In simple terms: supporting the body's recovery while helping you move towards feeling like yourself again.
