Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) FAQ Your Questions Answered by Elite Wellness Direct

  • What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
    HBOT is a wellness treatment where you breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, helping your body absorb more oxygen to accelerate healing and recovery.

  • What Conditions Can HBOT Treat?
    HBOT is used for chronic wounds, radiation injury recovery, decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, sports recovery, anti-aging support, and more.

  • Is HBOT Safe?
    Yes — HBOT is generally safe when conducted by trained professionals. Mild, temporary side effects may include ear pressure, fatigue, or dizziness.

  • How Long Does a Typical HBOT Session Last?
    Most sessions last 60–90 minutes, depending on your personal wellness goals.

  • What Does ATA Mean in the Context of HBOT?
    ATA (Atmospheres Absolute) measures the pressure inside the chamber. Mild hyperbaric therapy typically uses 1.3–1.5 ATA, while medical treatments use higher levels.

  • How Does HBOT Accelerate Healing?
    HBOT delivers higher oxygen levels to your tissues, reduces inflammation, promotes new blood vessel growth, supports immune function, and boosts natural healing.

  • How Is the Oxygen Dose Per Session Calculated?
    Your dose is based on chamber pressure (ATA), session duration, and treatment frequency — customized for your specific needs.

  • Who Needs HBOT?
    Athletes, individuals recovering from injury, those managing chronic fatigue, people seeking immune support, and anyone pursuing anti-aging wellness benefits.

  • What Should I Expect During an HBOT Session?
    You’ll relax inside the chamber, breathe pure oxygen, and may feel slight ear pressure as the chamber pressurizes. Sessions are calm, quiet, and comfortable.

  • Are There Any Side Effects?
    Possible effects are rare and mild — including ear pressure, brief fatigue, or lightheadedness.

  • Can Anyone Use HBOT?
    While safe for most, HBOT may not be suitable for people with untreated lung conditions, high fevers, certain medical histories, or during pregnancy without medical approval.

  • How Many HBOT Sessions Will I Need?
    Wellness and recovery plans typically involve 5–10 sessions, while chronic wound care or injury recovery may require 20–40 sessions. Personalized plans are available.
