A superoxygenated composition for application to the external surface of a tissue, the composition being in a form selected from the group consisting of a solid, liquid, cream, paste, powder, ointment, lotion, gel and aerosol;
- and comprising a solvent selected from the group consisting of water, a perfluorocarbon, alcohol and glycol, containing oxygen at a concentration between 45 ppm and 220 ppm, the oxygen being in the form of microbubbles having a diameter between 0.6 and 8 microns, said oxygen being at a partial pressure effective to raise the subepithelial region of the tissue from about 30% to about 120% above baseline pO2.
