Overview of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Perth

Overview

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), also known as oxygen therapy, involves the use of a pressurised hyperbaric oxygen chamber to deliver more oxygen to the body and brain. It supports the treatment of various conditions by saturating tissues with oxygen, promoting healing and recovery.

What happens during a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session?

Upon arriving and discussing your health goals and treatment plan, you’ll enter a pressurised hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, similar to a commercial aircraft cabin, and breathe pure oxygen at an increased pressure. This elevated atmospheric pressure in the chamber allows the body to absorb higher oxygen levels, enhancing oxygen delivery to cells and tissues. This increased oxygen intake stimulates the body’s natural healing processes.

How long does a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session last?

A typical HBOT session ranges from 60 to 90 minutes. Many people look forward to their regular hyperbaric oxygen therapy therapy sessions for the profoundly relaxing experience it provides, while supporting their individual performance, healing or longevity goals.

What conditions are commonly supported with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is commonly used to support patients undergoing treatment for conditions such as non-healing wounds, diabetic ulcers, radiation injuries, carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, and certain infections. HBOT can also be used for post-surgery recovery, diabetic foot ulcers, chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis, and as adjunctive therapy for certain cancers. Additionally, HBOT can aid in the recovery of sports injuries such as muscle strains and ligament sprains by promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

Treatment Benefits

1. Increased oxygenation to body tissue

Increased oxygenation to the body’s tissues enhances cellular metabolism, aiding in energy production and tissue repair. This improved oxygen supply also supports the immune system, aiding in the removal of toxins and boosting overall health, from improved cognitive function to faster muscle recovery.

2. Increased blood flow and circulation

Improved circulation optimises oxygen levels and nutrient delivery, aiding cell function and tissue repair while removing toxins. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhances blood oxygenation and circulation, promoting detoxification, reducing inflammation, and bolstering overall health.

3. Builds and repairs blood cells (angiogenesis)

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) stimulates the production of new red blood cells, aiding in tissue repair and regeneration. By enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues, HBOT promotes healing and supports the body’s natural mechanisms for building and repairing blood cells.

4. Boosts collagen production (synthesis)

HBOT enhances collagen synthesis, vital for skin and organ health as the body’s main protein. It fosters healing in compromised skin grafts and aids recovery from radiation injuries post-cancer treatment, facilitating overall tissue repair and regeneration.

5. Promotes wound healing (in damaged tissues)

HBOT aids wound healing by reducing swelling and increasing oxygen supply to damaged tissues. This promotes nutrient influx, stimulating repair processes and attracting endothelial cells crucial for tissue regeneration.

6. Reduces the effects of harmful bacteria and toxins

HBOT elevates blood oxygen levels, bolstering cell resilience against infections. It helps combat harmful bacteria and toxins by creating an inhospitable environment. Enhanced oxygenation enables white blood cells to better detect and eliminate pathogens.

7. Reduces pain and swelling

HBOT’s applications extend beyond decompression sickness treatment, offering relief for various conditions. It improves quality of life for those with musculoskeletal pain, enhancing pain thresholds and physical functionality. It also encourages the growth of new blood vessels and reduces swelling in wound injuries, promoting oxygen-rich plasma flow.

8. Enhances energy levels

Studies of individuals who underwent HBOT sessions point towards a noticeable improvement in their energy levels and overall wellness. This is suspected to be connected to the increase in oxygen saturation in body tissues, allowing for a better metabolism and consequently more energy production.

9. Enhanced Brain Function

The brain consumes 20% of the body’s entire oxygen supply. HBOT enhances brain function by improving cerebral blood flow, metabolism, and microstructure. This boosts cognitive function and physical abilities, enhances sleep quality, and improves gait, as evidenced by research findings.

How the Treatment Works

01

Pressurisation Phase: During this stage, the chamber is filled with air under pressure, a process lasting approx. 15 minutes, followed by sealing of the door to maintain the desired pressure level.

02

Oxygen Breathing Phase: Commencing when oxygen is supplied through the delivery system, this stage typically lasts 60-90 minutes in our standard treatment protocol.

03

Decompression Phase: During this stage, the pressure within the treatment compartment gradually decreases to reach room pressure, a process typically taking 7-10 minutes.

Hear From Our Customers

After been predominantly bed – and housebound for more than 3 years with severe ME/cfs, I tried Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and Red Light Therapy (RLT). The results are just amazing! I am able to do things I haven’t done in months and even years. Experiencing periods without any pain, illness and severe fatigued is almost like a miracle. I am beyond grateful to have these treatments close by. Maya and her wonderful team provide a caring, clean and safe space with high level of customer service and knowledge.

Emily Floyd

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and Red Light Therapy

I recently had a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Red Light Therapy session at Element and I am beyond impressed! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and took the time to explain the process and benefits of each treatment. Their personalised care and attention to detail really stood out.
Highly recommend this amazing place!

Karina Reid

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Red Light Therapy

This had to be one of the best experiences of my life, Maya and her team were very warm, welcoming, and attentive to my needs as I did the 3 therapies one after another. It was my first time doing whole body red light therapy, followed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy and then cryotherapy, which I was familiar with.

I found a massive difference in pain reduction immediately afterwards, felt more freedom within my body, and could move with ease. I also felt like I could breathe again, and more deeply, I felt lighter, clearer within the mind, and had higher energy levels. I also had the best sleep after a long time.

I highly recommend Elements! It’s definitely going to be my go-to place from now on, and I look forward to trialling more therapies that will continue to benefit my brain health and general well-being.

Thank you so much, Maya, for creating a sanctuary in Perth that feels safe to call home! The atmosphere of Elements Health Optimisation Centre is so beautiful and you can literally feel the aura as soon as you walk in.

It’s truly heaven on earth, and I am so grateful that the pricing is reasonable and affordable, which will change so many peoples lives.

I visited Element today for their HBOT chamber. An very positive experience. Lovely staff and state of the art equipment in elegant surroundings. I enjoyed my session and highly recommend anyone considering the therapies/services offered at Element Health Centre to go ahead and book!

P Parker

HBOT Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber

A few days ago I visit Element Health Centre at Claremont I had booked an hour in the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a warm welcoming smile by the staff. They took me for a guided tour and I found the staff to be so informative and felt the passion they have about their services. They were genuinely interested in my health and asked for the reason I visited. They took the time and explained how I could benefit by combing different treatments. I’m not sure but the last two nights I’ve slept through the whole night considering I have sleep apnea. So I’m going back tomorrow for another session of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Been a FIFO worker and when I’m back on R&R I’ll combine this treatment with one of the others.

FAQ's about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Learn more about the benefits of Hard Shell Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and how does it work?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) works by exposing the body to pure oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressures within a specialised chamber. This increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve more effectively in the bloodstream and reach areas of the body with low oxygen levels due to injury, infection, or disease. As a result, HBOT promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate damaged tissues.

Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy safe?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is generally considered safe when administered by trained professionals in an appropriate setting. However, like any treatment, it carries some risks and potential side effects, such as ear barotrauma (pressure-related ear discomfort), sinus discomfort, temporary nearsightedness (myopia), and oxygen toxicity in rare cases. It’s important to undergo HBOT under the guidance of wellness providers who can monitor and adjust treatment as needed to ensure safety and efficacy for each individual’s health condition.

What do I need to wear for a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session?

You can wear comfortable loose-fitting cotton clothing whilst attending your session.

Do not wear hairspray, perfumes, or hair gels.

What should I expect during treatment and how long does a session last?

Your session in our hard chamber will last 60 to 90 minutes at pressures ranging from 1.3 to 2 ATA. While inside, you can take the opportunity to read, meditate or just have a nap.

How many sessions of Hyperbaric Oxygen do I need?

HBOT is a cumulative therapy where consistency is crucial. As you undergo more sessions, blood oxygen saturation increases, enhancing benefits week by week. Each individual’s needs vary, so session frequency and duration depend on personal circumstances. Contact us to tailor a personalised protocol for you.

1-5 Sessions: Improves cellular energy and optimised tissue function. Those with residual carbon monoxide (i.e. smokers) or with mild anemia can show immediate benefits with cellular energy. Inflammatory markers can decrease considerably and begin a natural repair process.

5-10 Sessions: Typically used for acute injuries with soft tissue damage, especially if pain is involved.

10-20 Sessions: Use with more acute severe injuries or chronic injuries.

20-40 Sessions: Commonly used for significant tissue damage and when new tissue is required through HBOT’s regenerative stem cell properties.

Will I be monitored during the treatment session?

You will be closely monitored by the therapist who accompanies you to the chamber throughout your entire treatment. They will explain the treatment process and teach you different techniques for clearing your ears. Additionally, you can use the in-chamber phone to call the therapist, which includes an integrated alarm button for immediate assistance.

Can I bring a friend/partner/child?

Time in the chamber is dedicated to prioritising your self-care and is typically an individual experience, except for children who must be accompanied by their parents. If you prefer a shared experience, you have the option to book two chambers simultaneously. Please reach out to us directly to make arrangements for this.

I am undergoing chemotherapy, can I have Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Yes you can. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy (such as ‘chemo brain’) and radiation, and decrease the recovery time after surgical procedures. We do recommend consulting your physician beforehand.
