How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Work?
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Work?
At Aalto Hyperbaric, you will receive treatment inside a single-person tube-like chamber. You lay down on a sliding tray that moves in and out of the tube. One of our technicians will help you feel completely relaxed and comfortable as you begin the treatment.
Our state-of-the-art chambers are made of clear acrylic, so you can always see outside of the chamber. During HBOT, you simply lie down and breathe the 100% pure oxygen inside the tube as the pressure is gradually increased.
While the treatment is progressing, you can relax and watch a movie on the TV above the chamber or listen to your favorite music. You can even take a nap if you like.
You may feel a slight pressure in your ears during the compression and decompression of the chamber, much like you would in an airplane as it takes off. This sensation is quick; once you reach the treatment pressure, you won’t feel anything else the rest of the time.
The session can last from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the condition we are treating.
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a proven way to treat a wide range of conditions and injuries, from traumatic brain injuries (TBI) to common sports injuries. It is an effective treatment because it supports the body’s healing processes, helps block harmful bacteria, strengthens the body’s immune system, and promotes the creation of collagen and skin cells.
When a wound is taking longer than usual to heal, the tissues are likely starved of the oxygen they need to repair themselves. HBOT brings oxygen-rich plasma to your tissues, reducing the damage and swelling from the wound. The pressure in the HBOT chamber also increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, combating inflammation.
HBOT helps block harmful bacteria and strengthens the body’s immune system. Increased oxygen concentration in the tissues helps the body resist infection. It also stimulates the growth of white blood cells in your body, which help fight off infections.
HBOT promotes the creation of collagen (connective tissue) and skin cells by supporting new blood vessel formation. It stimulates cells to produce certain compounds, such as vascular endothelial growth elements. These elements support the development of endothelial tissues, which are essential for recovery.
During HBOT, your blood carries the excess oxygen through the body, infusing the injured cells with oxygen in order to kickstart recovery. Once the session is done, you might feel lightheaded. Our staff will help you quickly recover from any such symptoms so you can return to your daily life and enjoy the health benefits of this powerful treatment!

TYPES OF HYPERBARIC CHAMBERS
Monoplace Chamber
A single-person HBOT chamber is designed for one patient. These chambers afford you the privacy and luxury of receiving HBOT treatment by yourself.
Multiplace Chamber
A multiplace chamber fits more than one person. A group of individuals sit in the same chamber and breathe oxygen through hoods or masks.
Our hyperbaric chambers are one of the few 100% oxygen monoplace chambers that are FDA-approved.
