What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Every cell relies on oxygen to produce energy, support healing, and maintain healthy tissues. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics is designed to increase both the amount of oxygen you breathe and the amount your blood can deliver throughout the body, helping oxygen reach areas that may benefit from additional support. HBOT is commonly used to promote the healing of chronic or slow-healing wounds, support recovery after surgery, and aid certain conditions where healthy circulation and tissue repair are important. Whether you're trying to recover more quickly, prepare for an upcoming procedure, bounce back from intense physical activity, or simply give your body additional support as you age, we invite you to schedule a session in our hyperbaric oxygen chamber to discover the benefits of this therapy for yourself. Reach out to our experienced wellness providers in Frankfort, IL to get started.
How Does a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session Work?
Following your consultation, we'll show you to our hyperbaric oxygen chamber. You'll sit or lie back in the closed chamber as it gradually pressurizes, saturating your tissues with concentrated oxygen. You might notice a sense of fullness in your ears — if you've ever flown on an airplane, the sensation should be similar. As the chamber reaches full pressure, all you have to do is relax and breathe as one of our providers monitors your treatment. After your session, the chamber is slowly returned to normal pressure before you step out and continue with your day. Most patients are able to resume work, exercise, or other activities right away.
What Are the Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
One of the biggest advantages of HBOT is that it treats the entire body rather than focusing on just one area. Oxygen is involved in nearly every stage of healing and recovery, which means improving oxygen delivery may benefit multiple aspects of your health at the same time. The benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy provided at our Frankfort, IL practice include:
- Accelerating recovery after surgery or injury
- Reducing recovery time after strenuous exercise
- Helping relieve chronic fatigue
- Supporting healthy circulation throughout the body
- Encouraging healthy tissue repair
- Promoting healthy aging and long-term vitality
- Supporting cognitive wellness and mental clarity
- Enhancing overall health and well-being

Frequently Asked Questions about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
How does hyperbaric oxygen therapy work?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy allows your body to absorb more oxygen than it can under normal conditions. Inside a pressurized chamber, concentrated oxygen enters your bloodstream and is carried throughout the body, where it can support healing, tissue repair, and recovery.
What happens during a hyperbaric oxygen session?
You'll relax inside our hyperbaric chamber while breathing concentrated oxygen. During the session, you can rest, listen to music, watch a movie if available, or simply enjoy some quiet time while the treatment takes place. One of our providers will monitor you throughout your appointment to ensure you're safe and comfortable.
How long is a typical session?
Most hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions last 60 – 90 minutes. Our providers will determine the appropriate treatment time based on your individual needs.
How often are treatments scheduled?
Your treatment schedule depends on your goals and the reason you're receiving therapy. Some people benefit from a single session, while others complete a series of treatments over several days or weeks to achieve the desired results.
What makes hyperbaric therapy different from standard oxygen therapy?
Traditional oxygen therapy provides supplemental oxygen through a mask or nasal cannula at normal air pressure. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy combines concentrated oxygen with increased air pressure, allowing your body to absorb and deliver significantly more oxygen to tissues throughout the body.
