What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) allows patients to breathe concentrated oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. Increased atmospheric pressure enables oxygen to dissolve directly into blood plasma rather than relying only on red blood cells, which helps oxygen circulate more effectively throughout the body.

At Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute, treatments are performed in the LUXOS hyperbaric chamber system. This advanced chamber features automated pressure protocols, rapid yet controlled pressurization, precision pneumatic controls, and high air circulation to maintain a stable treatment environment. It is also designed with comfort in mind, with reclining seating, a quiet interior, and a more refined chamber experience than patients may expect from a traditional hyperbaric setting.

Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is studied for its role in supporting tissue oxygenation, circulation, and recovery.

Increased oxygen delivery: Pressurization allows oxygen to dissolve into plasma and circulate throughout the body.
Surgical recovery support: Increased oxygen availability can assist tissues during healing after procedures.
Inflammation management: Improved oxygenation may help calm inflammatory responses in stressed tissues.
Circulation support: Oxygen-rich plasma can travel more effectively to areas where oxygen delivery may be reduced.
Physical restoration: Many patients pursue HBOT as part of a broader recovery or wellness strategy.

Am I a Good Candidate for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Candidates may include patients recovering from surgery, individuals seeking enhanced recovery following intense physical activity, or those interested in therapies that support circulation and tissue oxygenation. During your consultation at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute, our team will review your medical history and treatment goals to determine whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be appropriate.

Your Consultation

During consultation, the NPSI team will review your health history, recovery goals, and overall treatment plan. If hyperbaric oxygen therapy is appropriate, we will explain the process and determine how sessions may integrate into your personalized care strategy.

What to Expect During Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

During treatment, you relax inside the LUXOS hyperbaric chamber while breathing oxygen in a pressurized environment. The chamber is designed with reclining seating, ventilation systems that continually refresh the air, and quiet pneumatic controls to maintain a calm environment. Sessions are typically about one hour, depending on the protocol selected for your treatment.

Pressure gradually increases at the start of the session so oxygen can dissolve efficiently into plasma. After the treatment cycle is completed, pressure slowly returns to normal before you exit the chamber and continue your day.

How Much Does It Cost?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy pricing depends on the number of sessions recommended and the goals of treatment. During consultation at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute, our team will review session pricing and outline the treatment approach that best fits your needs.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Recovery and Results

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is non-surgical and typically requires no downtime. Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

The number of sessions recommended depends on your goals and treatment plan. Some patients undergo HBOT as a stand-alone therapy, while others incorporate a series of sessions into post-surgical recovery or a broader wellness strategy.

Integrated Therapies Available With the LUXOS Chamber

The LUXOS system used at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute allows several additional comfort and support features to be incorporated into the chamber experience. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy remains the primary treatment, while these integrated technologies may enhance comfort, relaxation, and the overall treatment environment during a session.

Hypoxic conditioning therapy: Controlled pressure cycles alternate oxygen exposure levels inside the chamber, helping the body adapt to changes in oxygen availability.
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF): Electromagnetic field technology designed to support circulation and cellular activity during recovery.
Far infrared therapy (FIR): Infrared warmth that gently heats tissues, helping promote circulation and comfort during treatment sessions.
