What can I expect from my HBOT session?

HBOT is very safe and very comfortable. As with any change in pressure, you will feel a pressure differential in your ears—and will be coached on how to clear your ears prior to your session. This sensation is very mild and will be the only sensation that you feel.

What are the mechanisms of action behind HBOT?

Decreased bubble size, hyperoxygenation, reduced lipid peroxidation, vasoconstriction, reduced leukocyte adherence, toxin inhibition, antibiotic synergy, growth factor release, fibroblast proliferation/collagen synthesis, increased  stem cell proliferation, reverse transcriptase, reduced cytokine activity (reduced inflammation)

Can I bring my phone into the chamber?

Our chambers allow for electronic devices, such as cell phones, ear buds or a tablet.

What should I wear?

There are no restrictions on clothing, however, we request that there is no use of heavy perform, cologne or scented items. If you are a smoker, we request that you refrain from smoking the day of your session. Additionally, please be aware of body odor and hygiene.

What is the difference between the soft-shell and hard shell Hyperbaric chambers?

Aside from the material they are made of and the size of the chamber, the only real difference is the atmospheric pressure that one is exposed to while inside. The hard shell chambers are constructed in a way that allow for higher levels of pressure, which, in turn, equates to higher levels of oxygen absorption.

What about hyperbaric oxygen chamber safety?

At Healthspan, safety is our absolute priority.  We do not use 100% oxygen; instead, we utilize medical-grade oxygen concentrators, which significantly reduces risk. Our chambers are operated at 2.0 ATA or less, and all machines are properly grounded to prevent static electricity or sparks. In addition, our team follows a comprehensive set of strict safety protocols and training procedures designed to ensure the well-being of every client and staff member.

As one of Miami’s trusted leaders in hyperbaric oxygen therapy, we are deeply committed to excellence at every stage of the HBOT experience. Each client journey begins with a comprehensive and personalized intake process, ensuring care is tailored to individual needs and goals. Our team undergoes extensive training and certification to ensure a high level of expertise in hyperbaric science, safety, and best practices. We also maintain a strict equipment inspection and maintenance schedule to guarantee optimal performance and peace of mind. The chambers we use have been carefully selected for their proven safety standards, reliability, and comfort—so that every session supports recovery in the safest and most cautious environment possible.

We remain committed to transparency, education, and the safe, responsible application of all health technologies. If you have any questions about our safety practices or protocols, we are always available to provide reassurance and information.
