Can HBOT help with poor sleep?
Research is currently exploring the relationship between HBOT, sleep quality, oxygenation and inflammation. Some studies have reported changes in sleep-related outcomes following HBOT, but evidence is still developing. HBOT should not replace investigation or treatment of an underlying sleep disorder.
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy painful?
HBOT is generally considered a non-invasive treatment. During pressurisation, you may experience pressure or fullness in your ears, similar to the sensation experienced during take-off or landing on an aeroplane. Your practitioner will guide you through techniques to equalise ear pressure.
What does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy feel like?
Most people remain awake and relaxed during a session. You may notice pressure in your ears as the chamber is pressurised. Once the desired pressure is reached, you can relax while breathing oxygen. Your experience will depend on the type of chamber and treatment protocol being used.
How long does an HBOT session take?
The length of an HBOT session depends on the chamber, pressure and treatment protocol. At C.J Aesthetics Clinic, we will explain what to expect before your session, including how long you will be in the chamber and what happens during treatment.
How many Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy sessions will I need?
There is no single number of sessions that is right for everyone. The appropriate frequency and number of sessions depends on your reason for using HBOT, your individual circumstances and the type of chamber being used. We can discuss your goals and recommend an appropriate approach.
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy safe?
HBOT is generally well tolerated when appropriately administered, but it is not suitable for everyone. Temporary ear or sinus pressure is one of the more common issues. There are also specific medical contraindications and precautions, so you should complete a health screening before treatment and tell us about any relevant medical conditions or medications.
Who should not have Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Certain medical conditions and circumstances may make HBOT unsuitable or require medical clearance. These can include certain lung conditions, some medications and other medical factors. Our pre-treatment screening is designed to identify potential contraindications, and you should always disclose your medical history and medications before treatment.
Can I have HBOT if I have an autoimmune condition?
Possibly, but this needs to be considered on an individual basis. HBOT is being researched in relation to inflammation and autoimmune conditions, but it is not a replacement for medical treatment. If you have an autoimmune condition, please discuss HBOT with your GP or specialist before booking.
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy suitable for athletes?
HBOT may be of interest to athletes and active people looking to support recovery following training or injury. However, suitability depends on your health, the nature of your injury and the treatment protocol. It should be used alongside appropriate sports medicine, physiotherapy or medical care where required.
