What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive treatment in which you relax inside a specialized chamber while breathing 100% oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure (Cleveland Clinic).

Under these conditions, your lungs absorb significantly more oxygen than they would under normal circumstances. This oxygen is then carried through your bloodstream to tissues throughout the body—especially areas that are injured, inflamed, or healing (Mayo Clinic).

The increased oxygen levels help:

Stimulate the formation of new blood vessels
Support collagen production and tissue repair
Enhance immune response and reduce infection risk

This process allows the body to heal more efficiently, making HBOT a powerful complement to both surgical recovery and non-surgical rejuvenation.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy FAQs

How many hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your goals and clinical needs. Some patients use HBOT short-term to support post-procedure recovery, while others benefit from a series of treatments spaced over several weeks. Your plan will be fully customized during the consultation.

How often should treatments be scheduled?

Treatment frequency varies, but many protocols involve sessions several times per week for a defined period. In aesthetic and recovery settings, spacing is tailored to your procedure timeline and how your body responds to treatment.

Can hyperbaric oxygen therapy be used before surgery?

Yes. In some cases, HBOT is used preoperatively to help optimize tissue quality and oxygenation. This may support more efficient healing after surgery, particularly for patients undergoing more extensive procedures.

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy comfortable?

Yes. Most patients find the experience relaxing. You’ll rest comfortably inside the chamber while pressure increases gradually. You may feel a sensation similar to changes in altitude, which is temporary and easily managed.

Can I use my phone or listen to music during treatment?

Because of the oxygen-rich environment, certain electronic devices are not permitted inside the chamber for safety reasons. However, the experience is designed to be calm and restful, and many patients use the time to relax or even nap.

How does HBOT support post-surgical results specifically?

HBOT enhances oxygen delivery to healing tissues, which can support more efficient recovery following surgery. In aesthetic procedures, this may help optimize tissue quality, support incision healing, and contribute to smoother, more refined results over time.

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy only for medical conditions?

While HBOT has well-established medical uses, it is also increasingly used in aesthetic and recovery-focused care. At Omaha Face and Body, it is incorporated as a supportive therapy to enhance healing, recovery, and overall tissue health.

Are there any risks or side effects with hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

HBOT is generally well tolerated when performed in a controlled medical setting. Some patients may experience mild ear pressure or temporary fullness, similar to what you might feel during air travel. Rare risks can include sinus discomfort or, in very uncommon cases, oxygen sensitivity. Proper screening and monitoring help ensure safety throughout treatment.

Who should not undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Certain conditions—such as untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung) or specific respiratory concerns—may make HBOT inappropriate. A thorough medical evaluation is performed beforehand to determine whether treatment is safe for you.

How soon will I notice results from hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Some patients report feeling subtle improvements in energy or recovery early on, but the most meaningful benefits typically develop over a series of sessions. Results are cumulative and often most noticeable as healing progresses.
