You can attend your session in comfortable clothing. Avoid using chemicals before the session like strong perfumes, deodorant and hair sprays. It’s best to refrain from caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and stimulants before and right after the session.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is an all-natural therapy with only temporary to no side effects. Clients may feel a mild popping sensation in their ears which usually resolves within 24 hours. This sensation should be relieved by equalising the ear by swallowing and yawning gestures. Because we prioritise safety, any potential side effects are mitigated.

As it is non-invasive therapy, HBOT has very few contraindications. Some of these include: Pregnancy, untreated pneumothorax, severe, unmanaged COPD, bullous lung disease and certain chemotherapies. During your first consultation at The Wellness Lab, one of our trained staff members will check your medical history for contraindications and answer any further questions.

At The Wellness Lab, we prioritise your safety. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is generally a very relaxing and safe therapy in the hands of an experienced clinician. There are very few contraindications.  We carefully evaluate each person for suitability prior to the session and tailor the sessions based on individual feedback and sensitivities. Some people may report pressure in the ear similar to the pressure in the airplane during take off or landing. We monitor and adjust the session to make it a pleasant and relaxing experience. We have had many children and elderly use our chambers very comfortably.

The exact amount of Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment sessions required varies from person to person. Some see the benefits after the first session, others require many more before they see visible changes based on their unique pathophysiology. Hyperbaric Oxygen works via its cumulative compounded effect, meaning exposing your body to Hyperbaric Oxygen for several sessions in a row to see the benefits. Our protocols are specifically tailored to each client during their initial consultation.

Some of our clients have had success in getting session covered by insurance. If you have an international health insurance such as BUPA international that is a conversation between you and your insurance provider. We are happy to provide you with a receipt for you to make a claim.
