Safety & What to Bring

---

You should wear 100% cotton clothing, as synthetic materials can create static electricity and pose a fire risk in the oxygen-rich environment. Before treatment, you will need to remove all jewelry, makeup, lotions, hair products, contact lenses, perfume, and any electronic devices to ensure a safe session. 

You cannot bring anything that could create a spark or fuel a fire, including cigarettes, matches, lighters, books, magazines, paper products, electronics or battery-operated items, makeup, perfumes, lotions, or hairspray. These items are not allowed inside the chamber for safety reasons. 

No, you cannot bring or use your phone in a hyperbaric chamber. Electronics can produce sparks, and combined with the high oxygen environment, this creates a serious fire hazard. 

The time it takes to see results varies depending on the condition being treated, but many people begin noticing improvements within 10–20 sessions, while others see measurable progress after several weeks of consistent therapy. Conditions such as non-healing wounds may require 20–40  sessions, or more, to achieve optimal results. 

You will get the most benefit when your sessions are done close together (typically five days on and two days off), and many people reduce to three or four sessions per week after the first ten. Neurological conditions, such as concussion or TBI, may begin with only three weekly sessions depending on your situation. Doing just one or two sessions a week for extended periods usually isn’t effective and is not recommended. 

A standard HBOT session lasts one hour, although some physician-directed protocols may require a two-hour session when medically appropriate. 

Yes, doing HBOT before surgery can help prepare your tissues by increasing oxygen levels, which supports healing and may reduce the risk of reperfusion injury when blood flow is restored during a procedure. 

The cost of HBOT depends on how many sessions you complete and whether you choose a package, with most treatment plans ranging from 10–30 sessions. Package pricing can significantly reduce the per-session cost and help make your overall treatment more affordable.  To see all of the options available, check out our pricing packages here. 

At this time, insurance does not cover the services offered here, as insurance reimbursement is typically limited to hospital-based hyperbaric centers treating only FDA-approved conditions with strict pre-authorization. Hospital HBOT sessions can cost $600 to $2,500 each, whereas our sessions are a fraction of that and often cost less than many insurance copays would for those who qualify for hospital treatment. 

To schedule an appointment, you simply need to call 714-270-2615. Because availability can change quickly, all booking is handled by phone to ensure you get the most accurate scheduling options.  

Please contact us at 714-270-2615  as soon as you know you need to cancel or reschedule. We require a 24-hour notice for all cancellations so we can offer the appointment time to someone else. A credit card is required on file, and the session will be charged, or deducted from a package, if you no-show or cancel late. 

You should choose an HBOT facility that employs nationally certified hyperbaric technicians who have completed formal education, passed rigorous examinations, and completed a supervised clinical internship. Certified training standards do not exist for soft or mild chambers or the operators of those devices, making proper facility selection essential for your safety. 

Mild or soft chambers operate at much lower pressures—usually around 1.3 ATA or less—and are made of flexible, inflatable materials that deliver ambient air, not oxygen. They are FDA-cleared only for altitude sickness and provide limited physiological benefit compared to true HBOT. Medical-grade hard chambers, on the other hand, are built from rigid steel or acrylic and operate at higher therapeutic pressures of around 2.0 to 3.0 ATA. These chambers deliver oxygen at levels proven to support clinical outcomes such as deep tissue oxygenation, angiogenesis, immune modulation, and stem-cell mobilization. They are used in hospitals and medical facilities and operated by trained professionals following strict safety protocols.
