Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): A Comprehensive Guide to Healing and Recovery
At NY 360 Wellness Medicine, we provide advanced longevity services to individuals who prioritize their well-being. We specialize in science-backed therapies designed to restore balance, accelerate healing, and optimize health. One of our most powerful offerings is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)—a non-invasive treatment that harnesses the healing power of oxygen under pressure.
If you’re considering HBOT for recovery, wellness, or chronic conditions, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand the process, benefits, and science behind it.
What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which patients breathe 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The pressure is typically 1.5 to 3 times greater than normal atmospheric pressure.
This increased pressure allows the lungs to absorb more oxygen, which dissolves into the blood plasma and delivers oxygen more effectively throughout the body. As a result, HBOT stimulates healing, reduces inflammation, and helps the body fight infections and repair damaged tissues.
How Does HBOT Work?
HBOT enhances oxygen delivery at a cellular level:
- Increased oxygen absorption: Oxygen dissolves directly into plasma, not just red blood cells
- Boosted tissue repair: Supports collagen production and vascular repair
- Infection control: Enhances white blood cell activity and antibiotic effectiveness
- Reduced swelling & inflammation: Improves circulation and reduces edema
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Patients choose HBOT for both medical treatment and wellness optimization. Documented benefits include:
⏱️ Faster wound healing (chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers) 💉 Improved post-surgery recovery 🩸 Angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) 🛡️ Enhanced immune defense 🔥 Infection control 🧠 Neurological support (stroke, concussion, TBI) 💨 Carbon monoxide clearance ⚡ Energy & vitality boost
What Does an HBOT Session Feel Like?
Patients often describe the session as similar to an airplane ride, with a brief change in ear pressure followed by a deeply relaxing experience. You simply breathe, rest, and leave feeling refreshed.
Session Length & Frequency
- Duration: 60–90 minutes (most commonly 60 minutes)
- Frequency: Typically once daily, 5 days per week
- Post-surgical recovery: ~10 sessions within the first 2 weeks
What Should I Wear?
Wear loose, cotton clothing. Avoid synthetic fabrics, lotions, perfumes, and accessories for safety.

- Post-surgical recovery
