Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) is a medical treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total body chamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled.
Breathing 100% oxygen at an increased pressure greatly enhances the supply of life-giving oxygen to the tissues. To understand how mHBOT works, one must first realize that under normal conditions (one atmosphere absolute or ATA), we are subjected to approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch of pressure. The air we breathe is composed of 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen. During mHBOT, those conditions are altered. The pressures can be increased while 100% oxygen is breathed by the patient by mask or oxygen hood.

At Aspen Aesthetics + Wellness we are committed to helping you look and feel your best.
To achieve the best results from mHBOT, adhere to the following guidelines.
Wear clean cotton clothing; jewelry and wigs are not allowed in the chamber. Refrain from wearing perfumes and heavily scented lotions. Do not drink alcohol or carbonated beverages for four hours before treatment. Stop smoking before mHBOT treatment (this interferes with your body’s ability to transport oxygen effectively). mHBOT therapy is administered by allowing 100% pure oxygen to flow into a pressurized chamber for a specified amount of time. These chambers are designed for one client at a time and have a clean pad, pillow, and sheet to make your experience more comfortable. If you are claustrophobic, don’t worry! Each chamber has a clear window at the top that allows for communication between you and the technician. You’re always welcome to stop by Aspen Aesthetics + Wellness to take a tour and get all your questions answered before treatment.
mHBOT treatments range from 60-90 minutes. For this treatment to be effective, this amount of time is necessary for allowing the pure oxygen to get into your system and start working on a cellular level. While you’re in the chamber, reading a book, meditating, or taking a restorative nap are great ways to pass the time. Treatment plans can range from 5 to 50 sessions and can vary from treatments daily or once a week. Each plan is customized to your body's needs. When you reach a maintenance phase of treatment, weekly treatments are recommended. Results from mHBOT therapy will vary based on conditions, their severity, and the treatment plan you and your provider discuss. Some people may feel relief quickly while others may see slower ongoing improvement over longer treatment plans.
The mechanism of mHBOT delivers much needed oxygen to different parts of the body, which is a great foundation for getting your health on track to get you feeling better. Although there are minor risks like all medical treatments, Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is generally considered extremely safe. The risks will be discussed with you before you sign your consent form for therapy. Most people do not experience side effects from mHBOT therapy. Occasionally some clients + members may experience vision changes during treatment – this is temporary and resolves within minutes after treatment.
The most common side effect is barotrauma to the ears and sinuses caused by the change in pressure. This risk can be minimized by adequate clearing of the ears during compression; your technician can coach you in this technique before treatment. You should notify your Elevated Wellness Technician prior to your mHBOT treatment if you: have any cold or flu symptoms, fever, sinus or nasal congestion, chest congestion, may be pregnant, had changes to your medications, have skipped a meal before your HBO treatment, are diabetic and did not take your insulin before your treatment, or have any concerns or anxiety.
