Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is an effective and safe treatment during which a patient relaxing in a pressurized chamber inhales 100% oxygen for short periods of time.
The air we usually breathe is 20% oxygen and 80% nitrogen. Breathing 100% pure oxygen increases the amount of oxygen available to your body’s tissues which helps the body to heal, fight off infection, decrease swelling, and aids in the growth of new blood vessels. Studies have shown that some physical issues respond incredibly well to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) treatments. As part of your wellness plan, HBOT can help treat various conditions. Benefits of HBOT include:
- Detoxification
- Reduced Inflammation
- Increased Cell Production
- Improved Circulation

FAQs
What is Hyperbaric oxygen therapy or HBOT?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. It is used for various treatments, usually as a part of an overall medical care plan.
With HBOT, oxygen is dissolved into the body’s fluids, including the plasma, the central nervous system fluids, the lymphatic system, and the bone. It can also be carried to areas where circulation is decreased or blocked. This way, extra oxygen can reach all the damaged tissues, and the body can support its healing process.
What are the benefits of HBOT?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has many aesthetic benefits for skin and body rejuvenation. HBOT increases collagen and elastin production, wakes up sleeping blood cells, reverses signs of aging, evens skin tone, minimizes the appearance of wrinkles, and detoxifies the body.
The benefits continue beyond there! HBOT promotes health from the inside out by boosting the immune system and increasing vitality. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be the “fountain of youth” because of its ability to promote cell repair, correct age spots, tighten saggy skin, repair poor collagen structure, and increases circulation.
How does HBOT improve athletic performance?
For athletes who undergo strenuous exercise, HBOT can flush out lactic acid that causes muscle fatigue and help you recover energy. HBOT’s elevated oxygen levels help athletes improve performance and recover quickly after a workout. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been demonstrated to reduce swelling and reduce the inflammatory response.
Many professional athletes routinely use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to shorten their recuperation period after soft tissue injuries. Soft tissue injury inevitably results in a disturbance of microcirculation with the release of chemicals known as inflammatory mediators, which cause swelling or edema and further soft tissue damage. HBOT soothes, repairs, and protects these tissues.
