Oxygenate. Restore. Renew.
At TELOS Medical Aesthetics, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as part of our commitment to advanced wellness and personalized care. This innovative therapy delivers concentrated oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing the body to absorb higher levels of oxygen than it would under normal atmospheric conditions.
Oxygen is essential to the body’s ability to heal and recover. By increasing oxygen availability under specific medical conditions, HBOT may help promote tissue repair and support recovery when used for appropriate indications and under medical supervision.
Oxygen plays a vital role in cellular function, tissue repair, and the body’s natural recovery processes. By enhancing oxygen availability, HBOT may help support recovery, promote tissue healing, and contribute to overall wellness.
Whether your focus is on recovery, athletic performance, or optimizing your overall well-being, our team at TELOS will guide you through your options with individualized attention and expert care. Discover a more comprehensive approach to wellness at TELOS, where advanced therapies are thoughtfully selected to support your health and personal goals.
What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive treatment that involves breathing concentrated oxygen inside a specially designed chamber where atmospheric pressure is increased. Under increased pressure, oxygen dissolves more readily into the blood plasma. This allows oxygen to reach tissues throughout the body and may support processes involved in healing and recovery. At TELOS Medical Aesthetics, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is incorporated into a personalized wellness approach designed around your individual goals.
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may provide a variety of wellness and recovery benefits. Potential benefits include:
-
Supports healing, tissue repair, and recovery
-
Enhances tissue oxygenation and circulation
-
Helps manage inflammation
-
Supports cellular energy and athletic recovery
How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Work?
During a hyperbaric oxygen therapy session, you relax comfortably inside the chamber while breathing oxygen in a pressurized environment. The increased pressure allows your body to absorb a greater amount of oxygen. Oxygen is transported throughout the body through the bloodstream, where it can support tissues and biological processes that require oxygen.
Your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session
Your TELOS experience begins with an evaluation of your goals and medical history to determine whether HBOT is appropriate for you. Once your treatment begins, you will relax comfortably while the chamber gradually increases pressure. You may notice a sensation of pressure in your ears, similar to what you experience during an airplane flight.
A typical session may last approximately 60–90 minutes, depending on the treatment protocol. After your session, you can generally return to your normal activities unless your provider gives you different instructions.
Who May Benefit From Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be an excellent addition to a personalized wellness and recovery plan for individuals interested in:
Recovery: Support your body’s natural recovery processes after physical activity or certain procedures.
Wellness: Incorporate oxygen therapy into a broader approach to optimizing health and wellness.
Athletic Recovery: Oxygen therapy may help support recovery following strenuous exercise.
Tissue Support: Increased oxygen availability can support tissues and processes involved in repair.
Post-Procedure Support: HBOT may be incorporated into certain post-procedure wellness protocols when medically appropriate.
Because HBOT is not appropriate for everyone, a consultation is recommended before beginning treatment.
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Safe?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is generally considered safe when performed using appropriate protocols and under qualified medical supervision. However, as with any medical treatment, there are potential risks and contraindications. Some people may experience temporary ear or sinus pressure, changes in vision, fatigue, or other effects. Rare but more serious complications can occur.
Before treatment, our team will review your medical history, medications, and individual circumstances to determine whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy is appropriate for you.
