HYPERBARIC
OXYGEN
THERAPY
Pressurized healing at 1.3–2.0 ATA. Flood every cell with therapeutic oxygen, trigger deep repair, and compress recovery timelines that once took weeks into days. Available in both hard-shell and soft hyperbaric chambers.
Oxygen is the most
powerful tool
in wellness.
Inside a hyperbaric chamber, atmospheric pressure is raised above normal levels. At this pressure, oxygen dissolves directly into plasma and reaches tissues throughout the body — supporting recovery, cellular repair, and overall vitality in ways that are simply not possible at normal atmospheric pressure.
This oxygen-rich environment activates the body's natural healing responses: enhanced circulation, collagen support, reduced inflammation, and cellular regeneration. The result is accelerated recovery and a measurable boost in how you feel, think, and perform.
HackHaus LA offers both hard-shell chambers at clinical pressures and soft hyperbaric chambers — giving you options based on your goals and comfort level. Every session is supervised by our certified wellness specialists.
What to Expect
Wellness Consultation
Complete a brief health history with our wellness team. We review your goals, discuss the right chamber type (hard-shell or soft), and set up your personalized protocol.
Pressurization
The chamber gradually pressurizes over 10–15 minutes. You may feel mild ear pressure — similar to descending in an airplane. Swallowing or yawning equalizes it.
Treatment Phase
Breathe normally through the oxygen mask or hood. Many clients read, sleep, or listen to music during the 60–90 minute treatment phase.
Depressurization
The chamber slowly returns to normal pressure over 10–15 minutes. No decompression stops required at therapeutic pressures.
Post-Session
Most clients feel energized and clear-headed immediately. Drink water and avoid strenuous exercise for 2 hours. Effects accumulate with each session.
Four Wellness Protocols
Each protocol is calibrated to a specific wellness goal — pressure, duration, and session count are tailored to your needs. Our team will recommend the right protocol after your intake consultation.

BOOK THIS PROTOCOLOxygen Under Pressure.
The Science Explained.
At normal atmospheric pressure, your red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues — but they can only carry so much. HBOT changes the equation entirely by dissolving oxygen directly into your plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and lymphatic fluid under elevated pressure.
Pure Oxygen Delivery
Inside the chamber you breathe near-pure oxygen — 95–100% O₂ compared to the 21% found in normal air. This alone dramatically increases the oxygen available to your lungs and bloodstream with every breath.
Pressure Amplifies Absorption
At 1.3–2.0 ATA (atmospheres absolute), the increased pressure forces oxygen to dissolve directly into blood plasma — not just red blood cells. This allows oxygen to reach tissues, joints, and areas with compromised circulation that red blood cells cannot easily access.
Cellular Repair Cascade
Oxygen-saturated plasma triggers a cascade of powerful recovery responses: new blood vessel formation, enhanced circulation, collagen synthesis, reduced inflammation, and mitochondrial energy production — the foundation of every recovery and performance benefit.
Sea level. Red blood cells carry oxygen at normal capacity. Plasma oxygen is minimal. No therapeutic effect.
Oxygen begins dissolving into plasma. Ideal for general wellness, recovery maintenance, first-time users, and performance protocols. Available in our soft hyperbaric chambers.
Maximum therapeutic oxygen saturation. Plasma oxygen increases up to 10–15× above baseline. Used for accelerated healing, neurological support, serious injury recovery, and intensive performance protocols.
New Blood Vessel Formation
HBOT drives the formation of new blood vessels in oxygen-deprived tissues, permanently improving circulation to injured or recovering areas.
Accelerated Tissue Repair
Elevated oxygen levels supercharge the body's natural repair processes — used by elite sports programs to compress recovery timelines.
Cognitive Performance
Elevated oxygen supports brain function, promotes mental sharpness, and helps high-performers maintain their edge under pressure.
Mitochondrial Activation
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in cellular energy production. More oxygen = more ATP = more energy at the cellular level.
Collagen Synthesis
Oxygen is required for collagen cross-linking. HBOT accelerates wound healing, tissue repair, and skin regeneration.
Anti-Inflammatory Effect
HBOT reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) while upregulating anti-inflammatory pathways — reducing systemic inflammation.
Cellular Energy
Oxygen is the fuel for mitochondrial energy production — more oxygen means more ATP, faster recovery, and better performance output.
Microbiome Oxygenation
Dissolved plasma oxygen reaches the gut lining and supports aerobic microbiome balance, with downstream effects on immunity and mood.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing near-pure oxygen (95–100% O₂) inside a pressurized chamber at 1.3–2.0 atmospheres absolute (ATA). The elevated pressure forces oxygen to dissolve directly into blood plasma — not just red blood cells — allowing it to reach tissues, joints, and areas with compromised circulation. This triggers a cascade of powerful recovery processes including new blood vessel formation, collagen synthesis, reduced inflammation, and accelerated tissue repair.
What type of oxygen is used in the chamber?
Medical-grade oxygen — 95–100% pure O₂. This is dramatically different from the 21% oxygen in normal air. In our hard-shell chambers, you breathe through an oxygen mask or hood delivering near-pure O₂ at pressures up to 2.0 ATA. In soft chambers, the entire chamber is flooded with enriched oxygen at 1.3–1.5 ATA. Both methods significantly increase the oxygen available to your body compared to breathing normal air.
What is the difference between a hard-shell and soft chamber?
Hard-shell chambers (also called monoplace or multiplace chambers) are rigid acrylic or steel vessels that can reach 1.5–2.0 ATA or higher. They deliver the highest therapeutic oxygen concentrations and are used for intensive protocols — post-surgical healing, neurological support, and serious injury recovery. Soft chambers (mild HBOT) are inflatable chambers that operate at 1.3–1.5 ATA. They are more accessible, quieter, and ideal for general wellness, recovery maintenance, and first-time users. HackHaus LA offers both.
How many sessions do I need to see results?
Many clients notice improved energy, sleep quality, and reduced soreness after just 1–3 sessions. For acute athletic recovery, 5–10 sessions is a common protocol. For cognitive performance, injury healing, or intensive recovery, protocols of 20–40 sessions are standard. HBOT works cumulatively — the benefits build with repeated sessions. Our team will recommend a protocol based on your specific goals during your intake consultation.
Is HBOT safe? Are there side effects?
HBOT is considered very safe when administered at therapeutic pressures with proper supervision. The most common side effect is mild ear pressure during pressurization — similar to descending in an airplane — which resolves by swallowing or yawning. Rare side effects at higher pressures can include temporary vision changes or oxygen toxicity, which is why all sessions at HackHaus LA are supervised by certified wellness specialists. We recommend consulting your physician before beginning HBOT if you have a history of ear surgery, lung conditions, or are pregnant.
What conditions and goals is HBOT used for?
HBOT is used for a wide range of performance and recovery goals: athletic recovery and performance optimization, injury and post-procedure healing, cognitive performance, long COVID recovery, chronic fatigue, neurological support, wound healing, and general immune support. HackHaus LA offers four curated protocols: Athletic Recovery, Peak Performance & Vitality, Cognitive Performance, and Accelerated Healing.
Can I combine HBOT with other therapies?
Absolutely — and we strongly encourage it. HBOT stacks exceptionally well with red light therapy (which also supports mitochondrial function), PEMF therapy (which enhances cellular membrane potential), IV therapy (which delivers nutrients directly to oxygen-saturated tissues), and cryotherapy (contrast protocols). Many of our members combine 2–3 modalities per visit for compounding results. Our team can design a stacked protocol tailored to your goals.
What should I wear and bring to my HBOT session?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing — preferably 100% cotton (no synthetic fabrics inside the chamber). Remove all jewelry, watches, and electronics before entering. Avoid perfumes, lotions, and hair products on session day. We provide water and a post-session recovery area.
