What is the most effective way to live better for longer and to feel younger immediately?The answer is oxygen. Human cells need and thrive on oxygen. We know this from science and from our own practical experience.
Have you ever noticed how dewy and bright your skin looks and feels after a hike or walk in a forest?The fresh air (oxygen) in our bloodstream stimulates our blood circulation and is crucial to our skin’s ability to create new cells.Normally, we absorb 21% oxygen with each breath we take. Oxygen fuels our cells and is essential for our survival. Oxygen helps us transform food into energy which is particularly important for our brains, immune systems, cell regeneration and healing.
Imagine if we could supply the body with 100% oxygen? Increase the energy supply to the brain and speed up cell turnover in the skin thereby boosting the skin’s own ability to produce collagen?Imagine no longer – we can live better and feel younger through Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Initially discovered in 1662 and continually developed into the 1800’s, hyperbaric oxygen chambers became renowned for easing decompression sickness from scuba diving. This has enabled the medical profession to research and study the benefits for hundreds of years proving the indisputable benefits to cellular performance.

How does it work? Inside the chamber, the air pressure is increased 2 to 3 times higher than normal air pressure, which enables your lungs to gather much more pure oxygen. The additional oxygen helps fight bacteria and triggers the release of growth factors and stem cells which promote healing… and delay the aging process.

A recent study by researchers from Tel Aviv University in cooperation with the Sagol Centre for Hyperbaric Medicine concluded that “Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases telomere length (by more than 20%) and decreases immunosenescence in insolated blood cells (by 10-37%), thereby delaying the aging process”. Telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes and in short, humans are only as young as the length of their telomeres. With each cell division, they become shorter until at some point the cells no longer divide at all because they are simply too old. Unfortunately, they commence weakening at the age of 25 so it is never too early for cell fitness!

How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy work at LABO Spa? Our state-of-the-art chamber is specifically designed for the comfort of 2 people, so you can bring a friend, colleague, or impress your client with a seriously unique meeting spot!

There is no need to undress and you can take your phone, laptop, book inside with you.

Once we settle you comfortably inside the chamber, fit your oxygen mask and secure the chamber door; the chamber’s air pressure will build for a period of up to 15 minutes. The pressure will then remain stable at 1.5 bars for 60 minutes before gradually decreasing for up to 15 minutes. The oxygen content in your body will be increased by 14 times enabling your cells and body to enjoy the most important benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy:

• Acceleration of collagen formation in connective tissue.
• Activation of cell division stimulating the growth of telomeres and reversing deterioration.
• Reduction and elimination of inflammatory processes.
• Shortening the convalescence phase after injuries and operations.
• Increasing blood circulation and activating the formation of new cells.
• Improvement of long covid symptoms.
• Increase in energy and physical performance.
• Improving sleep quality and mental focus.
• Elimination of jet lag.

Studies & Research

For optimal effect, we recommend ten therapy sessions at intervals of three to five days. Individual sessions are primarily suitable for jet lag or acute states of exhaustion.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is not recommended for persons who have or have had lung disease, sinusitis, respiratory tract infections, pregnancy or people who have had ear surgery.

A brief consultation will be conducted before your first session and as always, we do recommend you consult your physician first if you have any concerns at all.

FAQ

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a method of delivering extra oxygen to the body under positive pressure.

Why with pressure?

The pressure has been shown to dissolve additional oxygen, including oxygen in the blood plasma, which, due to its liquid form, can also penetrate tissues with fewer or narrowed blood vessels.

Where does the oxygen come from?

The 100% oxygen is extracted directly on site from the ambient air using an innovative technology.

What are the advantages?

The body and all tissues are optimally supplied with oxygen, even where the tissue is less supplied with blood. New blood vessels are formed. The extra oxygen is used by the body where it is needed for repair, rebuilding and anti-inflammation. The fibroblasts, which are responsible for collagen production, are stimulated. HBOT also reduces swelling and inflammation and activates the body’s own oxidants, which works against ageing. Many people feel more energetic and a greater ability to concentrate in their daily lives as a result of HBOT.

Are the benefits of HBOT scientifically proven?

Yes, there are many studies on hyperbaric oxygen therapy. You can get a good overview at the following link https://hyperbaricexperts.com/.

Who is not allowed in the oxygen chamber?

• People with lung diseases and people who cannot equalize pressure
• Pregnant women
• People with claustrophobia
• People who have a cold or fever or sinus problems
• People with pacemakers
• People with asthma

Do I need to be prepared?

You should not come to your session stressed, should have eaten something recently and visit the toilet beforehand.

How long does a session last?

A session lasts 60 minutes plus 15 minutes at the beginning for the “descent” and 15 minutes at the end for the “emergence”.

What is the pressure in the chamber?

The maximum pressure is 1.5 bar, which corresponds to a water depth of 5 metres.

What does it feel like?

Basically it is comparable to a flight. Because of the increased pressure, you have to equalise the pressure through your ears. You can read, work, talk or relax in the oxygen chamber.

How big is the oxygen chamber?

The oxygen chamber has room for two people.

Is the oxygen chamber safe?

Yes, the oxygen chamber is safe to use. The 100% oxygen is only absorbed through a mask via the lungs.

What side effects can I expect?

If all instructions are followed, there are no side effects. There may be some temporary fatigue as the body’s processes are strongly stimulated.

How often do I go to the chamber?

We recommend that you use it 1 to 2 times a week to stimulate collagen production. For more energy in everyday life, we recommend sessions as needed.

What is the first session like?

During your first session we will guide you step by step and explain everything.

How do I book my session?

You can book your sessions by phone or email either from the comfort of your own home or on the go via our online reservation system.
