Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) FAQ
Everything You Need to Know Before Buying an Airvida Hyperbaric Chamber
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. The increased pressure (typically 1.3 to 2.0 ATA) allows more oxygen to dissolve directly into the blood plasma, enhancing the body’s ability to heal, reduce inflammation, and regenerate cells.
How does HBOT work?
Under pressure, oxygen molecules become smaller and denser, allowing them to bypass red blood cells and dissolve directly into plasma. This super-saturated oxygen travels deeper into tissues—stimulating healing, fighting inflammation, and supporting immune function.
What are the benefits of HBOT?
Airvida hyperbaric chambers may support:
Faster injury recovery
Reduced swelling and inflammation
Enhanced mental clarity and energy
Post-surgical healing

💡 Results vary by individual and condition. Always consult your healthcare provider.

❗ People with certain medical conditions (e.g., untreated pneumothorax) should consult a doctor before use.
How long does a session last?
Typical HBOT sessions last 60 to 90 minutes, during which you can sit, recline, or lie down—depending on the model. Most users complete 3–5 sessions per week to begin, then adjust based on goals or provider recommendations.
What pressure level do I need?
1.3–1.4 ATA: Great for general wellness and home use
1.5–2.0 ATA: Ideal for deeper therapeutic use in clinics or for advanced conditions
Airvida chambers allow customizable pressure settings based on your needs.
What’s the difference between soft-shell and hard-shell chambers?

How do I maintain and clean the chamber?
Airvida chambers come with nano sterilizers, air purifiers, and humidity controls. Simply wipe down surfaces and follow the included maintenance guide for filter replacement and system care.
Do I need a prescription?
In many U.S. states, soft-shell hyperbaric chambers operating at ≤1.5 ATA can be purchased without a prescription for personal wellness use. For higher-pressure medical use, consult your provider regarding local regulations.
