Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HBOT)

HARNESS YOUR HEALING POTENTIAL WITH THE POWER OF PURE OXYGEN…

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive way to help your body restore itself after injury. This simple yet effective treatment involves the breathing in of pure oxygen at a greater than normal pressure to increase the level of oxygen in your blood. This leads to faster healing, reduced inflammation, and increased amounts of available oxygen to the tissues. HBOT has been reported to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. Schedule a consultation to discuss how HBOT may benefit you!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HBOT?

HBOT is a medical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing processes. The combination of increased atmospheric pressure and increased percentage of oxygen by breathing in 100% of oxygen in a total encapsulated chamber treats a wide variety of medical conditions.

What are the benefits of HBOT?

Healing cannot take place without appropriate oxygen levels in the tissue and cells. Many illnesses and injuries fail to heal because of inadequate oxygen levels due to poor circulation, swelling, and inflammation. Increased oxygen under pressure (HBOT) provides this extra oxygen to tissue and cells to promote healing with minimal side effects.

What can HBOT treat?

HBOT may be utilized for “off-label” indications. Beautiful You makes no claims as to the efficacy for any indications other than those approved by the FDA. Below is a list of some common “off-label” indications for HBOT.

  • Acute acoustic trauma
  • Acute/chronic anemia
  • Acute/chronic arterial insufficiency
  • Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS)
  • Autism
  • Brain njury
  • Bells palsy
  • Cerebral edema
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Chemical poisoning
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Closed head injury
  • Colitis
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Compartment syndrome
  • Cosmetic surgery (before & after)
  • Cluster headaches
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Heart attack
  • Inflammatory arthritis
  • Infections
  • Lupus
  • Lyme disease
  • Migraines
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Musculoskeletal injuries
  • Near drowning
  • Nerve injuries
  • Osteoporosis
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Rehabilitative care
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Sacroiliac syndrome
  • Shingles
  • Spider bite
  • Sports injury
  • Stroke
  • Surgery recovery
  • Tendon injuries
  • Venomous snake bites
  • Wound healing

How does HBOT work?

Providing oxygen in a pressurized chamber allows the delivery of 10-15 times more oxygen than if it was delivered at sea level or at normal atmospheric pressure. When increased oxygen enters the body under pressure, oxygen dissolves into all of the body’s fluids, including the plasma, the lymphatic fluids, and the cerebrospinal fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord. These fluids can carry the extra oxygen to areas where circulation is poor or blocked, either by trickling passed the blockages or by seeping into the affected area. This extra oxygen helps in the healing process by reducing swelling and inflammation, enhancing blood vessel growth, and enabling white blood cells to have enhanced killing of bacteria which results in a lower infection rate. 

Our Chamber

Beautiful You uses a medical grade mild hard-shell chamber designed for durability, comfort, and increased pressurization. Our 30″ diameter steel hyperbaric chamber is highly versatile and allows us to treat up to 1.5 atmospheres of pressure. The combination of our chamber and specially selected equipment allows breathing up to 95% oxygen levels and internal oxygen levels at a safe 40% oxygen.

What to expect

In order for HBOT to be effective, most conditions may require the cumulative effort of 20-40 treatments over a 1-2 month period. On treatment days, we recommend you wear comfortable cotton clothing to reduce the risk of static electricity in the chamber. Perfume, hair products, jewelry, synthetic material, wigs, cosmetics, deodorant, gels, ointments, patches, or drugs are not permitted inside the chamber. Patients are advised not to drink alcohol or carbonated drinks 4 hours prior to treatment.

Beautiful You uses a medical grade mild hard-shell chamber designed for durability, comfort, and increased pressurization. Our 30″ diameter steel hyperbaric chamber is highly versatile and allows us to treat up to 2.0 atmospheres of pressure. The combination of our chamber and specially selected equipment allows breathing up to 95% oxygen levels and internal oxygen levels at a safe 40% oxygen.

Patients are advised not to drink alcohol or carbonated drinks 4 hours prior to treatment. The use of tobacco products including smoking is strongly recommended to stop during the treatments as there can be adverse effects and they do not allow the body to transport oxygen as effectively.
