OXYGEN THERAPY - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What to wear during treatment?
For treatments, it is recommended to wear loose, light clothing that can be easily removed. The therapy takes place in a hyperbaric chamber under pressure, and all jewellery, contact lenses and other objects that may be sensitive to pressure changes should be removed before treatment. It is important to keep the skin clean and avoid make-up, perfume and lotions.
What to avoid before treatment?
- Drinking alcohol and heavy foods: Changes in pressure may cause nausea or discomfort, so avoid alcohol and heavy, fatty foods immediately before treatment.
- Adequate hydration: Drink plenty of water before treatment and include a light meal to avoid dizziness.
- Taking medicines: Always follow your doctor's instructions for your medicines, as the dosage of some medicines may need to be adjusted during treatment.
Important things to do before treatment
- Wash your face and hands, to remove any cosmetics or creams.
- Use the toilet before treatment, as mHBOT may stimulate kidney function, which may cause more frequent urination.
- Stay calm! Deep and even breathing helps you relax and makes the experience more comfortable.
What can they expect during treatment?
In the chamber, you will breathe pure oxygen through a mask. Increased oxygen levels saturate the bloodstream, helping damaged tissue to heal. The pressure in the ventricle gradually increases, which can create a sensation similar to that of an airplane taking off. This can cause mild discomfort in the ears, but can be easily relieved by yawning, swallowing or using the Valsalva manoeuvre.
Possible symptoms to watch out for
- Dehydration: If you experience dry mouth, increased thirst or decreased urine output, drink more fluids.
- Discomfort: If you experience any unusual sensations or pain during or after treatment, contact your doctor.
- Ear problems: If an earache occurs, use the chamber's pressure-regulating valve to stop the pressure from increasing while the ear adjusts.
Feelings and things to do after treatment
After treatment, you may feel mildly dizzy or euphoric due to the increased oxygen levels, but this will pass quickly. A few minutes of rest may help you regain your normal feeling.
Mild oxygen therapy is usually safe, but in rare cases you may experience ear pressure, mild headache or temporary fatigue.
Yes, it is safe for children and may even be recommended for certain conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or certain neurological problems. Of course, it is always recommended to consult a doctor before your child uses the therapy.
Yes, mild oxygen therapy can speed wound healing, reduce inflammation and help minimise scarring. Some studies have shown that it improves collagen production and the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), thus aiding recovery from surgery and sports injuries.
Yes, oxygen therapy can be useful for conditions where low cellular oxygenation and inflammation are involved. Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia often experience improvements in energy levels, pain reduction and sleep quality as a result of oxygen therapy.
Most people find the treatment comfortable and relaxing. The most common sensation is a ringing in the ears, which can be caused by a change in pressure, similar to what you might experience when flying or deep diving. During treatment you can read, listen to music or even sleep.
During the treatment, you breathe in a higher concentration of oxygen at a pressure of 1.3-1.5 ATA in a special chamber, which increases the oxygen saturation of the blood and helps the cells to function.
Mild oxygen therapy takes place at lower pressures (1.3-1.5 ATA), while traditional hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is performed at higher pressures (2-3 ATA), which is more effective but requires closer medical supervision.
Yes, mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is a safe and non-invasive treatment. Because of the lower pressure used (1.3-1.5 ATA), it is less taxing on the body than high pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). It is well tolerated by most people and has minimal risks, such as mild ear congestion or temporary fatigue.
Cells depend on oxygen for energy. Oxygen therapy increases the amount of oxygen that can be taken up by the cells, which promotes the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which increases the energy levels in the cells. This improves cell function, stimulates tissue regeneration and reduces inflammation.
Increased oxygen levels can improve blood circulation to the brain, help nerve cell regeneration and support neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to adapt). Oxygen therapy is therefore being investigated as a potential adjunctive therapy for certain neurological conditions, such as brain trauma, stroke or cognitive decline.
For athletes, mild oxygen therapy can help improve performance, speed up muscle recovery and aid recovery from injury. Because oxygen improves cellular energy levels, muscles can work more efficiently and recover faster after training or competition.
QUESTIONS ON RED LIGHT THERAPY
Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-wavelength red and near-infrared light to stimulate cells. This light penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin and stimulates the mitochondria (the energy centres of the cells), helping to regenerate cells, reduce inflammation and increase collagen production.
Yes. Red light stimulates collagen production, which makes the skin firmer and reduces wrinkles. For acne, it can reduce the appearance of acne and redness due to its anti-inflammatory effects. It can be complemented with blue light therapy, which kills the bacteria that cause acne.
Yes, red light therapy stimulates circulation and reduces inflammation, which can help relieve muscle and joint pain. It can also be effective for arthritis, sports injuries and chronic pain.
Red light therapy is safe if you use the right quality equipment and stick to the recommended treatment time. In rare cases, mild redness or eye irritation may occur if you look directly into the light source for a long time. It is advisable to use protective goggles, especially for high power panels.
Yes, red light promotes cell regeneration and reduces inflammation, which can lead to faster healing after injury or surgery.
Red-light therapy uses visible red light (630-660 nm), while infrared therapy uses invisible near-infrared light (800-850 nm). Red light works on the surface layers of the skin, while infrared reaches deeper tissues to provide deeper regeneration.
It can be used safely at home with the right quality tools. Higher performance panels are available for professional use, but home versions can also be effective.
Red light boosts collagen production, which makes the skin firmer and more youthful. Unlike traditional tanning beds, however, it does not damage the skin but, on the contrary, promotes its regeneration.
Yes. The red light stimulates the blood circulation in the scalp, thus promoting hair follicle regeneration and hair growth. It can be used as a complementary treatment for baldness or hair loss.
A good quality LED bulb can last for up to 50 000 hours, which with 15 minutes of use per day can mean a lifetime of more than 50 years.
It depends on the individual, but in general:
Red light therapy is beneficial in many areas, including:
The optimal treatment time and frequency depends on the purpose of the application and the performance of the device. In general:
Excessive use is not an additional benefit, so it is advisable to stick to the recommended durations.
MASSAGE THERAPY - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Air compression massage is a therapy that uses inflatable cuffs or boots to gently squeeze and release the limbs. This wave-like movement helps lymphatic circulation, reduces swelling and improves venous return.
For people who do sedentary or standing work, athletes for regeneration, people with varicose vein problems, lymphoedema patients, and those who often experience leg swelling or fatigue.
Most devices have adjustable pressure, so you can personalise the experience. The right intensity does not cause pain, just a pleasant pressure and wave-like movement in the limbs.
Yes, it can help to reduce venous congestion and improve circulation, but it does not by itself eliminate varicose veins. It should be used as a complementary therapy alongside medical advice.
Yes, it is excellent for reducing leg swelling after travelling and stimulating circulation.
It can be used on almost the entire body: legs, back, shoulders, neck, arms and feet. For more sensitive areas (e.g. spine or joints), more careful use is recommended.
It can help to reduce swelling in the feet, stimulate blood and lymph circulation, relieve heavy feet, aid detoxification and contribute to faster muscle recovery.
Yes, not recommended for deep vein thrombosis, severe heart disease, infections, open wounds or pregnancy. If in doubt, consult a doctor before use.
You can use it up to 30-60 minutes a day, but the optimal frequency depends on your individual needs. For athletes, it is recommended daily after training and for vein problems.
It is not consumed by itself, but it can improve lymphatic circulation and help remove toxins, which can contribute to skin firmness and reduce cellulite.
The massage gun is a handheld tool that provides deep tissue massage with rapid percussive movements. It helps to relax muscles, reduce muscle tension and promote recovery.
Yes. It can help to activate and warm up muscles before exercise and reduce muscle fatigue and promote recovery after exercise.
CRYOTHERAPY - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cryotherapy is cold therapy in which the body or part of the body is exposed to extremely low temperatures. This can be a whole-body treatment (cryosauna) or local cooling (e.g. with cold air or liquid nitrogen). The aim is to speed up recovery, reduce inflammation and improve performance.
A cryosauna is a cabin in which the body (except the head) is exposed to extremely low temperatures for short periods. It usually operates at a temperature of between -110 and -160°C and treatments last 2-3 minutes.
Yes, it can help to reduce venous congestion and improve circulation, but it does not by itself eliminate varicose veins. It should be used as a complementary therapy alongside medical advice.
Cold therapy stimulates the metabolism as the body uses more energy to maintain heat. Some research suggests that regular cryotherapy can contribute to fat loss, particularly by activating brown fat.
Most people tolerate it well, but some may experience short periods of redness, numbness or sensitivity to cold. Very rarely, frostbite may occur if applied for too long or at too low a temperature.
During cryotherapy, the surface temperature of the skin is drastically reduced for a short time, causing the blood vessels to contract. After the treatment, blood circulation is increased and oxygen-rich blood flows to the muscles and tissues, helping regeneration and reducing inflammation.
Yes, if used in the right circumstances. The treatments are short (usually 2-3 minutes) and the body is not in direct contact with the freezing medium. However, there are contra-indications, such as cardiovascular disease or extreme sensitivity to cold.
There is a cool, stinging sensation on the skin, but the dry cold makes it not as unpleasant as freezing in water. Most people find it refreshing and energising.
They usually wear swimwear or underwear, as well as protective gloves, thick socks and special slippers to protect their limbs.
Local cryotherapy targets only a specific part of the body, such as a sore knee or muscle, while whole-body cryotherapy affects the whole body and the entire circulatory system.
Yes, many people use it to treat arthritis, fibromyalgia, sports injuries and other chronic pain. The cold reduces inflammation and the sensitivity of nerve endings.
