Oxygenate. Restore. Renew.
At TELOS Medical Aesthetics, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for clients looking to support recovery, wellness, and overall cellular health. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers concentrated oxygen while you relax in a pressurized environment, allowing the body to absorb more oxygen than it would under normal atmospheric conditions.
Oxygen plays an essential role in the body’s natural processes, including tissue repair, energy production, and recovery. By increasing oxygen availability, HBOT may help support the body’s natural healing and recovery processes.
Whether you’re focused on recovery, wellness, athletic performance, or optimizing your overall health, our team can help determine whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy is appropriate for you.
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:

- Helping reduce inflammation associated with certain conditions
- Supporting athletic recovery
- Promoting overall wellness
- Supporting energy and cellular function
- Complementing a healthy lifestyle and wellness routine
Results and benefits can vary depending on the individual, treatment protocol, and overall health.
How Does 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.
HBOT should not be considered a replacement for necessary medical treatment.
