Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Healing and Recovery Begin
with Oxygen. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
100% pure oxygen energy that awakens damaged tissue deep within the cells

Vitality Reawakened
from the Cellular Level

Immediate Relief of Post-Treatment Pain and Inflammation

By delivering high-concentration oxygen into the body under pressure higher than atmospheric pressure, it quickly helps calm post-treatment swelling and inflammation while supporting skin regeneration.

Healing Power That Reaches Even the Invisible Areas

Oxygen delivered to the microvessels helps improve blood flow and support cellular regeneration, remarkably reducing bruising and swelling after procedures.

  • 1
    Increases dissolved oxygen in the blood under a high-pressure environment of 2 ATA or higher, maximizing the body’s natural healing ability
  • 2
    Helps shorten the recovery time of damaged tissue after surgery or intensive laser treatments by more than three times compared to normal conditions
  • 3
    Strengthens white blood cell function to help prevent infection at the treatment site and reduce secondary complications in wound areas
  • 4
    Helps break down accumulated lactic acid in the body and improve oxygen supply to the brain, relieving chronic fatigue and poor condition

Principle of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

  • Normal Blood Vessels
  • Blood Vessels Damaged by Wounds, Swelling, and More
    When blood vessels become blocked or damaged due to various diseases or trauma, blood circulation and oxygen supply are reduced, resulting in oxygen deficiency.
  • Blood Vessels During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
    Breathing hyperbaric oxygen increases the amount of oxygen that penetrates tissues outside the blood vessels, helping relieve oxygen deficiency.
  • Formation of New Blood Vessels and Recovery of Damaged Tissue
    Reactive oxygen species can increase stem cell activity and help form new blood vessels, supporting the healing of wounds that are difficult to recover from. They also help with wound infection through phagocyte activation and antibacterial action, promoting overall wound recovery.

Mechanism of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

  • Oxygen enters
    through breathing and skin
  • Oxygen concentration
    in the blood increases
  • Hemoglobin and
    red blood cells increase
  • Blood flow
    increases
  • Blood vessel walls
    are cleansed
  • Smooth blood circulation
    and oxygen supply
  • Cell activation
    and a healthy body
  • Improvement
    and recovery

Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

  • The Secret of Anti-Aging: “Telomeres”
    Telomeres gradually shorten through cell division

    Telomeres are structures at the ends of chromosomes that are involved in cell division. They act as a cellular clock and serve as protective buffers by covering the ends of chromosomes with genetic segments.
    However, as cell division repeats, telomeres gradually become shorter, which is closely related to aging.

    Maintaining or increasing telomere length can help slow aging, and continuous hyperbaric oxygen therapy may help extend chromosomal telomeres, supporting anti-aging treatment.

  • When blood vessels are damaged by trauma, burns, or other causes, oxygen supply to the tissues connected to those vessels becomes limited.
    Through hyperbaric oxygen therapy, oxygen concentration in the blood increases, delivering high-concentration oxygen to damaged tissue and helping form new blood vessels to support wound recovery.

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

  • Using hyperbaric oxygen therapy after treatments or surgery can help reduce swelling and support wound recovery, allowing you to return to daily life sooner.

    • Promotes wound healing after plastic surgery, helps relieve side effects after filler treatments, and improves skin conditions
    • Supports the formation of new blood vessels around wounds
    • Helps suppress inflammatory responses around wounds

    Why does swelling after plastic surgery sometimes become severe and last for a long time?

    • The location and size of the incision during plastic surgery
    • When the surgery takes a long time
    • Individual differences depending on constitution and health condition
    • Poor blood circulation
    • Areas with many blood vessels, and more
    Helps reduce blood flow by constricting dilated blood vessels that contribute to edema
    Even when blood flow is reduced, sufficient oxygen is supplied throughout the body to help relieve ischemic concerns
  • Our body supplies oxygen by binding oxygen to red blood cells in the blood.
    However, red blood cells cannot pass through very small capillaries, so some areas may not receive enough oxygen.
    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy dissolves oxygen into plasma, the main component of blood, allowing oxygen to move independently of red blood cells. This makes it possible to supply oxygen even to tiny capillaries and peripheral tissues that red blood cells cannot pass through.

    • Helps reduce side effects of anticancer treatment and radiation therapy
    • Helps reduce resistance to anticancer drugs
    • Helps protect normal cells and suppress cancer cells
    • Supports immunity to help enhance the effects of anticancer treatment
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a verified treatment method included in the Clinical Practice Guideline for Sudden Hearing Loss announced by the American Academy of Otolaryngology.

    • For patients with severe or profound sudden hearing loss who cannot hear sounds of 80 dB or higher, according to the standards of the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service
    • Performed during hospitalization for 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours per day, for a total of 14 days
    By improving microvascular blood circulation disorders, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has helped patients recover hearing even after receiving almost all other treatments at other hospitals without improvement.
    It is especially effective for diabetic patients who are at high risk of steroid side effects.
    Previous studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be beneficial for hearing recovery in patients with sudden hearing loss, especially when applied in the early stages of onset, in younger patients, and in cases of profound hearing loss
  • Infectious diseases that negatively affect the body are often caused by anaerobic bacteria.
    Since anaerobic bacteria cannot survive when exposed to oxygen, hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps induce the elimination of anaerobic bacteria, including asymptomatic bacterial infection, and supports reduced toxin secretion and inflammation relief.

  • Intense physical activity such as sports can damage soft tissue, leading to swelling and inflammation in the affected area.
    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps with swelling and inflammation recovery and is used by many athletes for injury recovery. It helps increase healing speed by reducing pain and swelling caused by microcirculation disorders and the secretion of various inflammatory cytokines.

  • The body’s energy is produced in the mitochondria inside cells, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps promote smooth mitochondrial function.

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps activate brain cell function by smoothly supplying oxygen to oxygen-depleted brain tissue.
    It may support brain cell function activation after cerebral infarction, cerebral palsy caused by childhood brain trauma, Alzheimer’s dementia, Parkinson’s disease, depression, and more.

Pressurization Begins for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
How to relieve ear fullness

When treatment begins, the air pressure inside the chamber increases.
To relieve or prevent ear fullness and pressure, please repeat the following three methods regularly.

  • ① Swallowing
  • ② Yawning
  • ③ Pinching your nose and closing your mouth while gently exhaling, also known as the Valsalva maneuver
Valsalva maneuver: A breathing technique in which you hold your breath after inhaling and apply pressure to increase pressure inside the abdomen
Pressure Maintenance During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Once the treatment pressure is reached, you breathe high-concentration oxygen.

Once the set pressure is reached, pressurization stops and the pressure is maintained for a certain period of time.
Breathe comfortably while inhaling high-concentration oxygen.
It is okay to sleep comfortably.

Decompression During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Decompression begins to complete the treatment.

Do not hold your breath; breathe comfortably.
The room temperature may drop by 1–2°C, so it may feel slightly cool.

Completion of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Exit the chamber according to the medical staff’s instructions.

When the notification sound indicates that treatment is complete, slowly exit the chamber according to the medical staff’s instructions.
