Imagine stepping into a pressurized chamber, breathing pure oxygen while air pressure inside stimulates your body’s natural healing processes. That’s Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, a modern twist on wellness now available at Athré Facial Plastics. Whether you’re recovering from cosmetic procedures or aiming to enhance overall skin health, our hyperbaric oxygen chamber delivers accelerated results.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves spending time inside a hyperbaric chamber—like our hard shell chambers—where you breathe 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. This forces much more oxygen into your bloodstream and cells, boosting your healing process, fortifying tissues, and supporting stem cells.
How it works, simply: Extra oxygen helps tissues heal, reduces swelling, fights infection, and can even jump-start new vessel formation. Think of it as giving your body an oxygen-rich reset.
For patients looking to recover quickly after a facelift, neck lift, or other procedures, HBOT is a game‑changer. By improving circulation and reducing fluid accumulation, patients often see less bruising and swelling and get back to their routines faster.
Why it works:
Beyond healing wounds, HBOT supports overall skin health, bolsters immune function, and might improve mental clarity. Ideal for folks facing various medical conditions or simply seeking a wellness boost.
Common uses include:
HBOT benefits a wide range of patients, especially those recovering from surgery or dealing with chronic wound conditions. However, it's not suitable for everyone. Your medical history—including respiratory status and risk of fluid shifts—will guide eligibility.
Your personalized treatment plan begins with a consultation. We’ll review your medical conditions, recovery goals, and identify potential contraindications.
Expectations:
Seated comfortably, you’ll hear a gentle hum as the air pressure inside the chamber rises. Guided breathing ensures maximum absorption of oxygen therapy. Our staff monitors you closely, adjusting pressure, ensuring comfort, and maximizing benefits.
The cost of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy depends on how many sessions you’ll need and the reason you’re receiving treatment. For cosmetic recovery or general wellness, most patients invest in a package of 5–20 sessions. Single-session pricing typically starts around $200 to $300, but discounted rates are often available for bundles.
If you’re using HBOT to support healing after facial surgery, our team can include it as part of your post-op care plan. During your consultation, we’ll provide full transparency on pricing, expected session count, and whether your goals call for short-term or ongoing care.
Insurance may cover HBOT if you're treating an FDA-approved condition like diabetic foot ulcers or soft tissue infections. Cosmetic and wellness applications are generally considered elective and not reimbursable. We’ll walk you through what applies and what doesn’t.

HBOT is painless. You might feel mild ear pressure during sessions, similar to descending in a plane.
Minor ear discomfort and temporary burping during pressurization are common. Rare risks include ear or sinus barotrauma under high pressure.
Our team will recommend a course of 5–15 sessions, depending on your goals—e.g., post-surgery vs. chronic wound support vs. wellness.
Yes. HBOT increases oxygen levels in the blood, reduces inflammation, and promotes new blood vessel growth, helping surgical incisions heal faster and minimizing bruising and swelling.
For healthy individuals seeking HBOT for skin health, recovery, or overall wellness, it’s generally considered safe when administered by trained providers. We screen each patient before treatment to ensure it’s appropriate.
Most sessions last 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your treatment plan. The time includes pressurization, oxygen therapy, and decompression within the hyperbaric chamber.
