Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Involves breathing 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber.

HBOT Treatment Process

Healthcare professionals provide instructions to ensure a safe and effective oxygen therapy.

Preparation

• Wear specialized clothing for the treatment.

• Ensure safety by leaving behind restricted items such as lighters and heat-producing electrical devices.

• Remove hair and skincare products containing oil-based substances due to fire risk.

Treatment

• Enter a sealed chamber, often with other patients.

• Air pressure is gradually increased above normal atmospheric pressure (1 to 1.8 bar).

• The pressurization process takes 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the condition being treated.

• Once the target pressure is reached, an oxygen mask is worn to breathe pure oxygen.

Total Treatment Time

• The session lasts approximately one and a half hours.

• Have breakfast before the treatment begins.

• Stay well-hydrated throughout the day.

• Hard contact lenses and hearing aids are prohibited in the chamber.
