In this short video, Dr. Robert Whitfield MD explains his protocol for facial lifting performed under local anesthesia. He uses Pronox, a 50/50 oxygen‑nitrous oxide mixture, to comfortably sedate patients before numbing the entire face, creating a “soft pillow” of anesthesia. During the procedure, saline is gently inflated into the facial tissues to act as a protective barrier, preventing needles from contacting nerves. After the treatment—removing excess skin and cleansing—the patient is placed in a hyperbaric chamber located in the office. If the patient brings autologous stem cells, Dr. Whitfield incorporates them along with exosomes to boost therapeutic delivery during the hyperbaric session. The overall approach emphasizes minimal discomfort, safety, and enhanced recovery through adjunctive hyperbaric and cellular therapies.

what we like to use— we do this under local, like I do all, uh, facial treatments including face lifting. We use a little bit of Pronox, mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, or nitrous. And it's not the concentration you get at the dentist, it's 50/50. Most people get comfortable, and then I numb the whole face. I can do numbing of the whole face. You can't feel anything. I didn't feel anything at all.
It was pretty, pretty non— Uh, it was— it was pretty trivial. I felt it afterwards, just because you're, you're also inflating the face with some saline so that you don't— the needles don't go through into the nerves and stuff. So you don't look great that day. I mean, it's, it's—
yeah, we make a little soft pillow of anesthesia for it, and then we do the treatment process like we said. And then ultimately, once we get everything removed, including the cords of skin, and cleanse it, then we're going to put you in our hyperbaric chamber. If you brought your own stem cells like you have, we would do your treatment with those. We add exosomes, whatever we could do to enhance the delivery that day and treatment that day, and then put you in our hyperbaric chamber in my office.
Nice. And I didn't have to do that because I have— you have your OxyHealth hard chamber at home. I might drive a 10-year-old Jeep, but I have a hard hyperbaric chamber, so you know where my priorities are, right?
