Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment
Increasing your blood oxygen levels with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) speeds up your recovery from sports competition, training and injuries. Greater training potential and supercharged recovery boosts your sporting performance so you can go harder, faster, stronger towards your ultimate goal.
You can use HBOT before training to allow you to train longer and harder – giving you the edge and getting you closer to your performance goals.
Using HBOT after training aids your cell recovery, so you can train harder and more frequently with less downtime.
Whatever your sport, competition pushes your mind and body to the limit. HBOT can deliver the most effective post-competition recovery and get you ready for your next challenge.
- Pressures of 1.3 ATA, up to 1.5 ATA inside the hyperbaric chamber can stimulate the growth of new blood vessels to increase blood flow to areas of poor circulation.
- Oxygenated plasma is circulated to reach all injured tissues such as bruised muscles, sprained tendons, surgical wounds, strokes, areas of injury aggravated by damaged circulation.
- The oxygen in the plasma will dissolve further into the damaged area than the oxygen attached to the red blood cell in the normal oxygen delivery system.
- Red blood cells become oxygen saturated and the oxygen is distributed into all body fluids like the blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, the lymph, all the organs, including the brain.
O2Heaven do not recommend that HBOT be used as a replacement for conventional medicine, however it has proved to be a valuable form of complementary medicine for existing health conditions.
Boyle's Law
Decreasing bubble volume
If the temperature remains constant, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the absolute pressure.
Boyle’s Law (named after Robert Boyle) is fundamental to hyperbaric and undersea medicine because it explains the pathophysiology of barotrauma.
Divers can develop bubbles in their bodies during a fast surface ascension or when they stay in the deep too long, a condition called decompression sickness, in which nitrogen dissolved in the blood and tissues by high-pressure forms bubbles as pressure decreases.
Bubbles that have been formed in the body can be reduced in size with hyperbaric chamber pressure. Decreasing bubble size is a primary therapy for decompression sickness.
The effects of Boyle’s law can be felt during chamber pressurization and depressurization. During pressurization, a patient’s ears will feel full, similar to the feeling experienced when traveling in an airplane. The pressure in the ears must be relieved during pressurization using recommended methods.
Amazing results of hyperbaric oxygen treatment are:
Henry's Law
Increasing the oxygen delivered to cells
The amount of gas that will dissolve in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid.
Breathing oxygen inside the pressure chamber increases the total amount of oxygen delivered to the cells by the bloodstream (Henry’s law). In addition, the increases in pressure result in a decrease in the size of bubbles (Boyle’s Law).
An increase in ambient pressure (and thus partial pressure) results in more gas dissolving into the liquid portion of blood and tissues.
The definition of Henry’s Law (named after William Henry) explains that pressure is necessary for a gas (oxygen) to dissolve effectively in a liquid (blood plasma).
Gas will go from a higher density (lungs) to a lower density (tissues) to achieve equilibrium.
The Healing Power of Oxygen
Oxygen is 65% of the human body and acts as an energy source for cells. Many factors such as stress, lifestyle and some unavoidable medical conditions can create low saturation of oxygen and it can turn into hypoxia. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a proven remedy for meeting the deficiency of the human body. A higher amount of oxygen dose in a sophisticated environment can help in treating several health issues such as
- Air bubble in blood vessels
- Anemia
- Neurological issues
- Radiation damage recovery
- Faster burns healing
Health Treatments
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can be used in the treatment of a wide range of health concerns. By boosting your oxygen levels, HBOT boosts the white blood cells that fight infection and gives your body the ability to heal itself more effectively.

Post-Operative recovery
HBOT is widely used to;
- Shorten recovery time by up to half for patients recovering from surgery
- Reduce bruising, inflammation and pain
- Heal wounds and scars quicker
- Clear infections faster by boosting white blood cells’ ability to fight them
The increased levels of oxygenation speed up the production and release of nutrients, amino acids, stem cells and new blood vessels to repair damaged body tissues, fight infection and improve circulation. The knock-on effect of this for general and plastic surgery patients is faster and more effective post-operative healing and better aesthetic results.
Studies and everyday cases are demonstrating the capacity of HBOT to cut surgery recuperation periods in half. Wounds heal quicker and scars heal better; post-operative bruising and swelling are dramatically reduced; and increased oxygen also helps prevent the rejection of implants and skin grafts.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Skin Care
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been dubbed as one of Hollywood’s best kept beauty secrets and it is rapidly becoming the first choice for skincare and anti-aging by many celebrities, actors and top models whose skin is constantly in the limelight. Wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars and age spots are all forms of skin damage. By increasing the circulation to the skin, HBOT stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity, naturally improving the damage to your skin, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and repairing scar tissue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the standard price for O2Heaven hyperbaric oxygen chamber include?
Price includes chamber capsule/cabin, oxygen concentrator, air Compressor, air cooler, and all system components. You DO NOT need to buy/prepare anything else.
While using this hyperbaric chamber, is it necessary to have any technician or doctor to control?
No. Our chambers are easy safe to operate alone, with no need for other’s assistance. Anyone with average studies can install and operate the chamber as long as reads the user manual and operation video. We provide customers with online training. Also, face-to-face talk is available.
What should I do to prepare for a treatment?
People can go into the chamber fully clothed. It is recommended to wear loose comfortable. Shoes, jewellery, or any sharp objects should be removed before getting into the chamber. It is recommended that women not wear stockings in the chamber, because it may cause feelings of claustrophobia.
How do you feel inside a hyperbaric oxygen chamber?
While the chamber is pressurizing, your ears will feel the change in pressure inside the chamber. Otherwise, it should be unnoticeable. To equalize the pressure and avoid the feeling of fullness in your ears, you will need to clear your ears by chewing(gum of food), swallowing, yawning. During the pressurization of the chamber, your mouth may become dry. Once the chamber is fully pressurized, your salivation will return to normal. Other than this ear pressure there are no unusual or different sensations.
After using the oxygen chamber, one of the most intuitive feelings is refreshing, and you will feel full of vitality.
How long for the session or treatment?
Usually for personal use, 60-90 min one time, one time one day, 5 days one week. What you will be able to notice is whether you are continuing to get improvements. A clinical study on 1730 subjects shows the need for around 15 sessions for acute injuries and 40 for chronic ones. If you saw results during the first 40 sessions, do another 40. If improvements continue, do another 40. Etc. You are a better judge of the number of sessions needed than any Doctor.
Are there any contraindications for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
People who catch a cold or flu symptoms, people who have rhinitis or otitis media and people who are pregnant should follow the doctor’s advice to use the oxygen chamber.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effect is discomfort to the ears caused by pressure changes. To minimize the risk, patients learn to promote the adequate clearing of their ears during pressurization. Some patients may feel tired and dizzy after using a hyperbaric chamber for the first time. It’s a good signal as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy will speed up the metabolism of our body. Just like people feel tired after a long-running. They are usually good signs of indicating detoxification.
What about Oxygen Toxicity?
Oxygen Toxicity is not a problem at pressures below 1.5 ATA. Many times stress is mistaken for oxygen toxicity. Occasionally, there may be a patient who is more sensitive to Oxygen than others and pressures may need to be adjusted to meet the needs of the patient.
Who is not recommended to use the oxygen chamber?
Pregnant women, people with infectious diseases and severe illnesses.
Drunk. People with severe colds.
Patients with pacemakers.
Rhinitis, otitis media patients.
People with high blood pressure exceeding 160/110 mmHg.
Patients with severe emphysema.
How to clean the oxygen chamber?
For the soft type chamber, diluted alcohol can be used to wipe the capsule body. Turn on the machine to run for 20 minutes to keep the internal air circulating. For a hard type chamber, You can often take out the mattress and put it in the sun. Maintenance and cleaning of aerodynamic equipment, it is recommended to replace the filter cotton every 10-12 months.
