A hyperbaric oxygen chamber is a pressurized chamber where a person breathes 100% oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure. This process promotes healing by increasing oxygen delivery to tissues and organs.
HBOT works by increasing the oxygen levels in the bloodstream, which helps in healing damaged tissues, reducing inflammation, and enhancing recovery from injuries or medical conditions.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help with a range of conditions, including but not limited to: chronic wounds, decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, infections, and sports injuries. Always consult with a medical professional to see if HBOT is right for you.
Yes, HBOT is generally safe when conducted by proper guidelines. Mild side effects may include ear pressure or fatigue, but serious risks are rare when following proper guidelines.
Sessions usually last between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the specific treatment plan. Our healthcare provider will advise the best duration based on your individual needs.
While HBOT is beneficial for many, it is not suitable for everyone. Certain conditions, such as untreated pneumothorax or certain respiratory illnesses, may prevent use. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.
In many countries, a prescription is required for medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy. However, for wellness purposes, some people may use mild hyperbaric oxygen chambers without a prescription.
Yes, many users report benefits such as improved skin appearance, better sleep, increased energy levels, and overall enhanced well-being. However, these effects may vary from person to person.
You should wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing, avoid using perfumes or lotions, and remove any electronic devices or metal objects before entering the chamber.
Mild side effects may include ear discomfort or temporary fatigue. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as oxygen toxicity can occur, but these are usually preventable with proper treatment protocols.

A soft chamber is typically less pressurized and used for wellness purposes or mild conditions, while a hard chamber can reach higher pressures and is often used for more serious medical treatments. Soft chambers are portable and more affordable, whereas hard chambers offer medical-grade treatments.
