About Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves spending time inside a hyperbaric chamber—like our hard shell chambers—where you breathe 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure.
This forces much more oxygen into your bloodstream and cells, boosting your healing process, fortifying tissues, and supporting stem cells.
How it works, simply: Extra oxygen helps tissues heal, reduces swelling, fights infection, and can even jump-start new vessel formation. Think of it as giving your body an oxygen-rich reset.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The cost of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy depends on how many sessions you’ll need and the reason you’re receiving treatment. For cosmetic recovery or general wellness, most patients invest in a package of 5–20 sessions.
If you’re using HBOT to support healing after facial surgery, our team can include it as part of your post-op care plan. During your consultation, we’ll provide full transparency on pricing, expected session count, and whether your goals call for short-term or ongoing care.
Insurance may cover HBOT if you're treating an FDA-approved condition like diabetic foot ulcers or soft tissue infections. Cosmetic and wellness applications are generally considered elective and not reimbursable. We’ll walk you through what applies and what doesn’t.

Ideal Candidates for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The perfect candidate for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is:
With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, patients can experience a wide range of benefits, especially those recovering from surgery or dealing with chronic wound conditions. However, it's not suitable for everyone. Patients with untreated pneumothorax, upper respiratory infections without medical clearance, or active sinus infection are not a good fit.
Your medical history—including respiratory status and risk of fluid shifts—will guide eligibility.
