We are one of the few providers in our region able to offer this advanced therapy outside of a hospital-based wound center. For many patients in Idaho Falls, this is also the fastest-access advanced wound therapy available outside a hospital wound clinic.
1. Mist Therapy Solves the Key Barriers That Prevent Healing
Many chronic wounds stall because the wound bed is unhealthy. Mist therapy helps by breaking up biofilm, reducing bacteria, improving circulation, lowering inflammation, and preparing the tissue so advanced dressings and grafts work more effectively.
2. Wounds That Respond Best to Mist Therapy
Mist therapy is especially helpful for diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries, arterial ulcers, post-surgical wounds, traumatic injuries, and any wound that hasn't improved in several weeks. It is gentle enough for older adults and patients with neuropathy or fragile skin.
Why Choose Elevated Healing Services
A Comfortable Alternative—Available in Our Idaho Falls Clinic
Mist therapy is painless and non-contact, making it ideal for patients who struggle with sharp debridement or painful wound cleaning. Our Idaho Falls clinic offers fast appointments, advanced modalities, and clinician-led care designed for faster, more predictable healing.
Visit Our Clinic3. How Mist Therapy Outperforms Traditional Approaches
Standard wound cleaning often relies on sharp instruments or abrasive scrubbing. Mist therapy avoids direct contact, offering significant advantages for comfort while still addressing deep biofilm and chronic inflammation in many chronic wounds.
Compared to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help certain wounds but requires hours-long sessions five days a week in a specialized chamber. Mist therapy offers a more convenient option for many chronic wounds, with shorter treatments available in-clinic or at home.
Flexible Care Options
Available in the Clinic or in Your Home
Elevated Healing Services offers mist therapy through a hybrid home × clinic model. You can begin in our Idaho Falls clinic for evaluation and advanced procedures, then receive ongoing treatments at home when appropriate. Because visits are brief and can be performed at home, mist therapy is especially helpful for patients with mobility limitations or difficulty traveling to frequent clinic appointments.
Learn About Our Hybrid Model4. What a Mist Therapy Appointment Looks Like
Each mist therapy visit includes a focused wound assessment, a brief non-contact ultrasound session, and application of advanced dressings, compression, or grafts as needed. Your clinician tracks healing at every visit and adjusts your care plan to ensure the wound continues progressing. Our rapid‑access scheduling model also means many patients are seen within 48 hours, avoiding the long wait times common in hospital wound clinics.
When to See a Wound Specialist
If your wound has not improved in two weeks, keeps reopening, or shows signs of infection, early intervention can prevent complications and reduce the need for hospitalization.
Clinic vs. In-Home: What to Expect
No special preparation is needed for most patients. In the clinic, your appointment takes place in a controlled environment equipped for advanced procedures. For in-home care, we simply ask that the wound area is accessible in a clean, well-lit space so your clinician can deliver treatment efficiently and comfortably.
Mist Therapy FAQ
Who provides my mist therapy?
At Elevated Healing Services, mist therapy is delivered by a clinician with advanced training in wound management, not a rotating technician. This ensures your treatment is closely monitored, documented, and adjusted as your wound heals.
How many mist therapy treatments will I need?
The number of mist therapy sessions depends on the size, depth, and response of your wound, but many patients are treated two to three times per week for several weeks as part of a comprehensive wound-care plan. Your clinician will monitor healing at each visit and adjust the frequency of mist therapy or combine it with other modalities as your wound improves.
Is mist therapy painful?
No. Mist therapy is a non-contact procedure, and most patients describe it as comfortable or only mildly cool on the skin.
How long does each treatment take?
While your full appointment may include assessment and dressing changes, the mist therapy portion itself typically takes only a few minutes.
Will I still need other wound treatments?
Yes. Mist therapy is one part of a comprehensive wound-care plan. You may also need specialized dressings, off-loading, compression, or other therapies based on your wound type.
Is mist therapy available at home?
For many patients in southeast Idaho, mist therapy can be delivered either in our Idaho Falls clinic or in the home, depending on your mobility, safety, and overall care plan.
Is this treatment covered by insurance?
For eligible patients, mist therapy is often covered under Medicare and most major insurance plans. Our team can review your benefits and help clarify coverage before treatment begins.
