Q: What does an HBOT session feel like?

A: Most people find HBOT sessions quite relaxing. You may feel slight pressure in your ears (similar to being on an airplane). Technicians will help you manage this with techniques like swallowing or yawning. You can read, listen to music, or even nap during your treatment.

Q: How many sessions are usually needed?

A: The number of sessions depends entirely on your specific condition and your body's response to treatment. Your HBOT provider will create a personalized plan and discuss the expected number of sessions with you.

Q: Are there any side effects?

A: HBOT is generally very safe when administered by a qualified center. The most common side effect is temporary ear discomfort due to the change in pressure. In rare cases, some individuals might experience temporary vision changes, or oxygen toxicity. This is why it's crucial to choose a reputable clinic with qualified staff.
