Pressure
2.0 ATA (desired target for deeper oxygenation without undue risk)

Oxygen Concentration
≥96 % oxygen while breathing

Duration Per Session: 60–90 minutes of effective oxygen breathing - Includes pressurization and decompression times

Standard Adjunct Program (Female)

20–30 sessions total
5 days/week for 4–6 weeks

Adjust based on cycle timing and reproductive plan

Best when coordinated with:

• Ovulation induction and COS (controlled ovarian stimulation)

• Endometrium preparation prior to embryo transfer
  (Some studies note improved outcomes with sessions concurrent with stimulation cycles.)

Alternative Shorter Course

• 15–20 sessions over 3–4 weeks for supportive benefit if scheduling or cost is constrained
  (Clinics sometimes adapt based on patient response and IVF timing.)

Frequency
Up to 25–30 sessions

Duration
60–90 minutes each

Timing
Start ~8–12 weeks before planned conception attempt or semen collection
(This aligns with a full spermatogenic cycle and evidence showing improvements in sperm quality.)

Red light therapy supports fertility by improving cellular energy, blood flow, and tissue health in the ovaries, uterus, and sperm-producing tissue. It does not replace medical fertility treatment, but it can optimize the body’s biological environment for conception.

Red Light Therapy (RLT) Protocol for Fertility Support

Goals For Women

• Improve mitochondrial function in ovaries and eggs

• Support endometrial blood flow & thickness

• Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress

• Improve cellular energy (ATP) in reproductive tissues

• Support hormonal signaling and tissue repair

Why It Works

Red and near-infrared light:

• Penetrates tissue

• Stimulates mitochondria

• Increases ATP (cell energy)

• Reduces inflammation & oxidative stress

• Improves microcirculation

Eggs and sperm are extremely sensitive to mitochondrial health, so this is one of the most logical uses of RLT in fertility.

Wavelengths

Use:

• Red: ~630–660 nm

• Near Infrared: ~810–880 nm

WOMEN’S FERTILITY RLT PROTOCOL

Frequency

• 3–5 sessions per week

Session Duration

• 10–15 minutes per treatment area

Treatment Areas

• Lower abdomen / pelvis (ovaries & uterus)

• Optional: Lower back / sacrum (supports pelvic circulation)

Program Length

• 8–12 weeks minimum

• Ideal to start:

  • 2–3 months before IVF/IUI

  • Or 2–3 cycles before trying to conceive

Cycle Timing

• Can be used:

  • Throughout the cycle

  • Including follicular phase and luteal phase

• Many clinics pause after confirmed pregnancy unless physician approves.

• For women:

  • Once pregnancy is confirmed → pause unless OB approves

Combination with HBOT at Elevate

Your best clinical results will come from:

HBOT → improves oxygen delivery & angiogenesis
RLT → improves mitochondrial function & cellular energy

Excellent combo protocol:

• HBOT 3–5x/week

• RLT immediately before or after HBOT or on alternate days

They are synergistic.

Goals For Men

• Improve sperm count, motility, and morphology

• Reduce testicular oxidative stress

• Improve mitochondrial activity in sperm cells

Why It Works

Red and near-infrared light:

• Penetrates tissue

• Stimulates mitochondria

• Increases ATP (cell energy)

• Reduces inflammation & oxidative stress

• Improves microcirculation

Eggs and sperm are extremely sensitive to mitochondrial health, so this is one of the most logical uses of RLT in fertility.

Wavelengths

Use:

• Red: ~630–660 nm

• Near Infrared: ~810–880 nm

MEN’S FERTILITY RLT PROTOCOL

Frequency

• 3–5 sessions per week

Session Duration

• 8–12 minutes

Treatment Area

• Groin / testicular area

  • Through thin clothing or towel

  • Not directly against skin

  • Maintain safe distance per device guidelines

Program Length

• 10–12 weeks minimum
  (Because sperm regenerate on ~74 day cycle)

Safety Notes

• Do NOT overheat tissue

• No burning or discomfort should ever occur

• Avoid direct eye exposure

Combination with HBOT at Elevate

Your best clinical results will come from:

HBOT → improves oxygen delivery & angiogenesis
RLT → improves mitochondrial function & cellular energy

Excellent combo protocol:

• HBOT 3–5x/week

• RLT immediately before or after HBOT or on alternate days

They are synergistic.

Women (IVF/IUI cycles):

• Begin HBOT before or at start of ovarian stimulation

• Continue up to trigger day for ovulation/egg retrieval

• Optionally continue through endometrial preparation until embryo transfer

Natural cycles or timed intercourse:

• Begin early follicular phase (e.g., day 3–5) and continue through ovulation (Timing should be individualized with fertility specialist input.)
