Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
A Deeper Level of Wellness
ELEVATE’s walk-in hard-shell hyperbaric chamber delivers increased atmospheric pressure to help your body absorb more oxygen. This pressurized environment creates a natural wellness effect that supports energy, recovery, circulation, and overall vitality.
Who uses HBOT
Athletes – faster recovery, improved endurance, reduced downtime
Professionals & creatives – mental clarity, focus, productivity
Active aging population – energy, mobility, quality of life
Wellness seekers – overall vitality, relaxation, balance
During an HBOT session, you relax inside a comfortable pressurized executive pod. The increased pressure allows your body to dissolve more oxygen into the bloodstream and tissues — supporting natural rejuvenation processes.
Inside the pod, you breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized environment between 1.5 to 2.0 ATA. This combination creates a condition where:
Oxygen dissolves directly into the plasma, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid—not just red blood cells. This allows oxygen to reach damaged tissues and areas with poor circulation that normal blood flow can’t easily access as shown in the images below.Deep Dive:
HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY
The increased oxygen supply energizes cells, supporting:
Tissue repair
New capillary formation (angiogenesis)
Reduced inflammation
Collagen production
Infection-fighting white blood cell function
aka more oxygen = faster healing
As the body absorbs the high levels of oxygen, HBOT may:
Reduce swelling and inflammation
Promote faster wound healing
Boost stem cell activity and regeneration
Help clear toxins like carbon monoxide
Improve brain oxygenation for mental clarity and neurorepair
Because the brain uses about 20% of your body's oxygen, even mild increases in oxygen levels can:
Enhance mental performance
Improve focus and memory
Reduce "brain fog" from injury, illness, or fatigue
What to Expect
A calm, private session inside a spacious walk-in pod
Comfortable temperature and lighting
A session duration of approximately 60–90 minutes
You can relax, listen to music, stream TV or simply rest

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Improves System Function
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Improves System Function
Respiratory System
+ Boosts oxygen absorption
+ Reduces inflammation
+ Improves oxygen delivery
+ Accelerates recovery
Circulatory System
+ In the short term - Oxygenates blood plasma, providing oxygen to compromised tissue, reducing swelling and inflammation.
+ In the long term - Growth of new blood vessels, enhancing circulation
Digestive System
+ Reduces inflammation
+ Reduces GI stress
+ Better nutrient absorption
Nervous System
+ Improves neuroplasticity
+ Quicker nervous synapses
+ Repairs damage from brain
+ injury and illness
+ Helps sharpness and mental clarity
Muscular System
+ Enhances tissue performance
+ Faster recovery
+ Reduces inflammation and pain
+ Increases cellular energy
+ Increases collagen production for speedy tissue repair
Skeletal System
+ Enhances stimulation of the production of collagen - a tough, fibrous material that mends fractured bones.
+ Promotes the regeneration of new, healthier, and stronger bones.
How HBOT Activates Stem Cells
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is one of the only non-invasive treatments scientifically shown to rapidly increase your body’s circulating stem cells — the cells responsible for repair, regeneration, and anti-aging.
And all of this happens naturally, using your own stem cells — no injections, no medications, no invasive procedures.
-
Inside the Elevate Pods, you breathe 96%+ oxygen under pressure, allowing your plasma (not just red blood cells!) to dissolve up to 1,200% more oxygen.
This flood of oxygen signals to your body that “We have the resources to start repairing everything.” Then your body responds by activating your internal stem-cell factories — especially in your bone marrow. The Result is a major increase in stem cells available for healing.
-
HBOT creates hyper-oxygenation inside the pod, and a return to normal oxygen levels once you're out. This pressure/oxygen change triggers a powerful regenerative effect known as: The Hyperoxic–Hypoxic Paradox
It stimulates:
✔ Stem cell release
✔ New tissue growth
✔ Improved cellular repair
✔ Reduced inflammationThis is the same mechanism used in leading anti-aging and longevity clinics worldwide.
-
Research has shown that a series of HBOT sessions can increase circulating stem cells by: Up to 800% (with repeated exposures at 2.0 ATA — exactly the pressure Elevate Sonoma Pods offer! This means more “repair cells” floating through your bloodstream, ready to fix things that are damaged or aging.
-
Once released, stem cells migrate to areas of:
• Injury
• Inflammation
• Scar tissue
• Poor circulation
• Neurological dysfunction
• Aging tissueThey act like your body’s internal repair crew, replacing damaged cells with new, healthy ones.
This is why HBOT is known for helping:
✨ injuries heal faster
✨ scars soften
✨ brain recovery improve
✨ skin rejuvenate
✨ inflammation drop
✨ energy increase
✨ aging slow downIt’s the body doing the work — HBOT just amplifies your natural capabilities.
-
Because it means HBOT is not just “oxygen”… it’s regeneration therapy.
HBOT Helps Your Body:✔ Rebuild tissue
✔ Reverse cellular aging
✔ Repair inflammation-driven damage
✔ Restore brain and nerve health
✔ Recover from injuries faster
✔ Improve wellness, vitality & longevity

FAQ’s
-
HBOT sessions at ELEVATE SONOMA offer a calm, comfortable experience. The chamber’s sound-absorbing, diamond-quilted interior reduces echoes for peace and quiet. You may feel gentle pressure as oxygen levels rise, like airplane ascent. Clients often find it soothing, enhancing mental clarity and well-being during and after therapy.
-
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is generally considered safe when administered properly, but there are some potential risks and dangers to be aware of:
Barotrauma: Changes in pressure can cause discomfort or injury to the ears, sinuses, or lungs if equalization techniques are not used correctly.
Claustrophobia: Some individuals may experience anxiety or claustrophobia inside the chamber.
Underlying Health Conditions: People with certain conditions such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, seizures, or respiratory issues should consult a physician before HBOT.
At ELEVATE SONOMA Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, sessions are carefully monitored to minimize these risks and ensure a safe, comfortable experience.
-
No. Clinically, HBOT is studied and FDA-approved for conditions like:
Decompression sickness
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Non-healing diabetic wounds
Radiation injury
Severe anemia, gas embolism, thermal burns, etc.
These are medical-grade applications and require physician oversight.
If you are in need of these services please contact your primary physician or reach out to Advanced Hyperbaric Recovery in Marin, CA

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) promotes healing and recovery by increasing oxygen levels in the body’s tissues. While individual responses vary, common signs that HBOT is working include:
Enhanced energy and mental clarity
Reduced inflammation and swelling
Decreased pain and faster recovery from injuries
Improved sleep quality
Noticeable progress in wound healing or recovery from chronic conditions
Consistency with sessions is key for optimal results. Your body will gradually respond as oxygen supports natural repair processes. If you have any concerns during your treatment, our team at ELEVATE SONOMA is here to guide you.
-
Yes. We assess each child's individual health needs and conditions before beginning treatment. Parents are encouraged to consult with our team to determine if HBOT is appropriate for their child’s unique situation and to ensure a safe and effective therapy experience.
-
You are invited to use your time in the chamber in whatever way feels best. Some choose to read, meditate, journal, or rest. We strongly encourage disconnecting from technology to fully embrace this time for rest and rejuvenation. Each machine is equipped with a smart TV for your enjoyment, should you prefer.
-
Even if you are healthy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) offers several potential benefits. By increasing oxygen levels in the body, HBOT can enhance your overall energy, mental clarity, and immune function. It supports faster recovery from everyday physical stress and minor injuries, promotes better sleep, and may improve athletic performance.
