FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure 100% oxygen in a pressurised chamber. Under the effect of pressure, oxygen dissolves in large quantities into the blood and reaches tissues in depth, stimulating the body’s natural processes of regeneration and healing.

What are the benefits of HBOT?

HBOT can promote physical recovery, improve cognitive performance, reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, relieve chronic pain and contribute to overall well-being. It is also used to improve concentration and daily energy levels.

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy painful?

No, the session is completely painless. You may feel a slight pressure in your ears during pressurisation (similar to what you feel on a plane). Our team will guide you to adjust your breathing and ensure optimal comfort throughout the session.

How long does a session last?

A hyperbaric oxygen therapy session generally lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, including pressurisation and depressurisation phases. The duration can be adapted according to your goals and health condition.

How many sessions are needed?

The number of recommended sessions varies according to your goals. For general well-being or sports recovery, a few sessions may be sufficient. For more specific issues, a programme of 10 to 20 sessions is often recommended. We offer a personalised assessment at your first visit.

Who can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

HBOT is accessible to a wide audience: athletes, professionals under stress, seniors wishing to preserve their vitality, people in convalescence, or anyone wishing to improve their well-being. Our teams assess your situation during an initial consultation.

Are there any contraindications?

Some contraindications exist, including untreated pneumothorax, certain pulmonary conditions, pregnancy (1st trimester), and severe claustrophobia. A health questionnaire will be provided before any session to ensure that HBOT is appropriate for your situation.
