Frequently asked questions

During the treatment you breathe oxygen at a higher concentration in an enclosed cabin at a pressure of 1.3-1.5 ATA, which may increase the oxygen saturation of the blood and may support cell function.

Mild oxygen therapy works at a lower pressure (1.3-1.5 ATA), while clinical hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) works at a higher pressure, typically 2-2.8 ATA. The latter may have a stronger effect, but it requires strict medical supervision and an institutional background - which is why mHBOT cabins are available for home and wellness use.

Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is a non-invasive method. Because of the lower pressure (1.3-1.5 ATA) it places less strain on the body than high-pressure HBOT. Most people tolerate it well; mild ear blockage or temporary tiredness may occur. The contraindications set out in the manufacturer documentation must be observed in every case.

Ear pressure, a mild headache or temporary tiredness may occur rarely.

Loose, light clothing that is easy to take off. Before the treatment all jewellery, contact lenses and any object that may be sensitive to changes in pressure must be removed. It is important that the skin is clean: make-up, perfume and body lotion should be avoided.

• Alcohol and heavy meals: because of the change in pressure, nausea or discomfort may occur, so it is worth avoiding them immediately before the treatment.
• Proper hydration: it is worth drinking enough water and having a light meal to avoid dizziness.
• Medication: always follow the instructions of your treating doctor, as the dosage of certain medicines may need to be adjusted.

• Washing the face and hands to remove cosmetics and creams.
• Using the toilet: mHBOT may stimulate kidney function, which may cause more frequent urination.
• Calm: deep, even breathing helps you relax and makes the treatment more comfortable.

In the cabin you breathe oxygen-rich air through a mask. The pressure rises gradually, which can feel similar to an aircraft taking off. This may cause slight discomfort in the ears, but it can usually be eased easily by yawning, swallowing or a pressure equalisation technique.

Most people find it comfortable and experience it as relaxation. The most common sensation is blocked ears because of the change in pressure. You can read, listen to music or even sleep during the treatment.

• Dehydration: in case of a dry mouth, increased thirst or reduced urine output, drink more fluids.
• Discomfort: in case of any unusual sensation or pain it is worth seeing a doctor.
• Ear problems: in case of ear pain the increase in pressure must be stopped until the ears adjust.

Slight dizziness or a feeling of alertness may occur because of the increased oxygen level, and this passes quickly. A few minutes of rest may help.

The energy supply of cells depends on oxygen. Oxygen therapy may increase the amount of oxygen the cells can take up, which may support ATP production. This may support cell function and tissue regeneration and may ease inflammatory processes.

An increased oxygen level may improve circulation in the brain and may support the regeneration of nerve cells and neuroplasticity. Oxygen therapy is therefore also being researched as a possible complementary method in certain neurological conditions - the results, however, are not yet conclusive.

In athletes, mild oxygen therapy may contribute to supporting muscle regeneration and recovery after injuries. As oxygen plays a role in the energy production of cells, the muscles may regenerate more effectively after training or competition.

Mild oxygen therapy may support wound healing, may ease inflammation and may contribute to reducing scarring. According to some studies it may have a favourable effect on collagen production and the formation of new blood vessels. After surgery, the opinion of the treating doctor is always decisive.

Oxygen therapy may be considered in conditions where low oxygen supply at cell level and inflammation may both play a role. According to some reports, energy levels may improve, pain may ease and sleep quality may improve - this, however, cannot be regarded as a proven therapeutic effect.

Only after consulting a doctor, on an individual basis. In certain conditions - autism spectrum disorder or ADHD, for example - it is being studied as a complementary option, but the results are mixed.

Air compression massage (IPC) uses inflatable cuffs or boots to squeeze and release the limbs rhythmically. The wave-like, sequential movement may support lymphatic circulation, may reduce swelling and may help venous return.

For people who work sitting or standing, for athletes as part of regeneration, for those with varicose vein problems, for people living with lymphoedema, and for anyone who often experiences swollen or tired legs. As a service provider, it is also a good addition to a wellness area or a physiotherapy practice.

It may help to reduce swelling in the legs, may stimulate blood and lymph circulation, may ease the feeling of heavy legs and may contribute to faster muscle regeneration.

The strength of the pressure is adjustable, so the treatment can be personalised. The right intensity causes no pain, only a pleasant pressure and a wave-like movement in the limbs.

It may ease venous congestion and may support circulation, but on its own it does not remove varicose veins. It is worth using as a complementary method, on medical advice.

Yes, it works well for easing swollen legs after travelling and for stimulating circulation.

The optimal frequency depends on individual needs. For athletes, use after training is recommended; for venous complaints, regular use. With your own device this regularity is easy to keep up.

On its own it does not cause weight loss, but it may support lymphatic circulation and the movement of fluid in the tissues, which may contribute to skin firmness and to reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Yes: it is not recommended in cases of deep vein thrombosis, serious heart disease, infection, an open wound or pregnancy. In case of doubt, a medical consultation is needed before use.
