What To Expect: Before, During, and After
We ensure a seamless, supportive, and stress-free experience. Here is a step-by-step guide to what happens before you arrive, inside the chamber, and after your session.
Before Your Session
Safety First: Clothing Requirements
When you arrive, you’ll change into 100% cotton scrubs or 100% cotton clothing provided by our facility. This is required for safety in a high-oxygen environment.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
We’ll ask you to use the restroom before treatment, as you’ll be inside the chamber for an extended period of time.
Reviewing Your Procedure
Before you enter, our team will thoroughly review:
- How to breathe comfortably through the high-concentration oxygen mask.
- How to safely equalize your ears during the pressurization process.
We’ll also answer any questions you may have to ensure you feel confident and prepared. (A helpful instructional video is provided below.)

Comfort & Duration
Once inside, you’ll lie on a comfortable medical-grade mattress. Your session will last between 90 minutes and 2 hours and 30 minutes, depending on your customized protocol and the prescribed pressure.
Most patients choose to watch TV, read a book, relax, or simply take a nap.
Operator Monitoring
A trained chamber operator will remain next to you throughout your entire session. They will carefully build pressure, monitor your comfort, and ensure your ears are clearing properly.
If you need anything, you can communicate instantly through a built-in telephone system.
Safety & Visibility
The chamber’s clear acrylic shell provides full visibility so we can see you at all times—and so you can see us—offering both safety and peace of mind. For safety, you’ll also wear a grounding strap to help prevent static electricity.
After Your Session
When your treatment is complete, we will slowly and safely decompress the chamber back to normal atmospheric pressure. Once the door opens, we will help you exit the chamber.
Feeling Relaxed
Most patients feel relaxed and often slightly tired immediately after their session.
Next Steps
You can either go home and rest, or continue with your normal daily activities. There is no downtime required.
