Oxygen is just part of the air you breathe, and due to factors such as pollution, your body no longer receives the oxygen it needs to thrive. This is problematic because oxygen is a vital part of healing wounds, triggering collagen synthesis, and promoting new blood vessel formation.
Luckily, technology has evolved significantly to the point where you can breathe oxygen directly from a special chamber. This accelerates the healing process and reduces inflammation, promoting long-term wellness. At Allure Image, we offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to any patient looking for long-term wellness.
The hyperbaric chamber is a suitable environment for different patients. Providers at Allure recommend it for those who need faster healing and also want to improve their mental and physical condition. Each patient requires medical evaluation to determine if they are a good candidate for HBOT, but for the most part, the following individuals are considered ideal:
The procedure is most useful for patients who experienced a sports injury or are healing from a concussion or surgery. It’s also recommended for chronic fatigue and inflammation, driving the patient’s cognitive wellness. Our providers at Allure Image also recommend it for neurological recovery and cellular regeneration, especially after illness or oxidative damage.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by placing the patient in a sealed chamber, where the atmospheric pressure is two to three times higher than normal. There, they breathe pure oxygen. The oxygen amount from a hyperbaric chamber is 10 to 20 times the normal, so if normal air has roughly 21% oxygen, a hyperbaric chamber delivers up to 240% oxygen.
Oxygen therapy has numerous functions, including the following:
Sessions are relatively short and comfortable. Patients are asked to lie inside the chamber for about 60 to 90 minutes, where they breathe medical-grade oxygen while the pressure increases. During this time, patients can relax, listen to music, watch TV, or even meditate. The staff at Allure will regularly monitor patients to ensure their full comfort and safety.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-tolerated procedure that has little to no potential for downtime and comes with minimal discomfort. That said, you can expect some side effects, especially within the hours after the procedure. Ear pressure or fullness, similar to what you’d feel after a plane take-off, is perhaps the most common, but can be managed with techniques like swallowing, yawning, or blowing your nose gently.
You might also feel some mild fatigue and temporary lightheadedness after the session, as the body adapts to the new oxygen levels. You might also feel hungrier or thirstier than normal, but this doesn’t usually limit your normal activity. We recommend that you have some healthy snacks on hand, such as baby carrots or nuts, and drink enough water to hydrate yourself adequately.
Oxygen therapy offers cumulative healing effects that build steadily after each session. Most treatment plans involve around 20 to 40 HBOT sessions, depending on your condition and goals. Most patients start noticing early improvement after three to 10 sessions, with their energy levels going higher and the brain fog starting to fade.
However, final results appear in a month or more, or after you’ve undergone all sessions. You’ll notice that potential wounds have closed, blood circulation has improved, and your neurological issues have significantly lessened. The effects can be long-lasting and even permanent, depending on the issue you’re treating. However, for chronic or progressive conditions, maintenance treatments may be needed.
