The Younique Approach
Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Less Downtime
“HBO” improves natural healing and recovery time along with the healing’s effectiveness.
Decreased Swelling
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can decrease swelling from surgery for better comfort during convalescence.
Pure Simplicity
You can relax—and even nap—while the hyperbaric chamber applies the pressurized oxygen.
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider.
- Review your medical history, concerns, and wellness goals
- Determine if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is right for you
- Schedule your customized treatment session if approved
Treatment
During treatment, you’ll relax inside a pressurized chamber that increases oxygen levels (typically 1.5–3x normal atmospheric pressure).
- Increased oxygen allows your lungs to absorb more oxygen efficiently.
- Oxygen-rich blood circulates throughout the body to support stem cell release and growth factors.
- Promotes faster healing, recovery, and overall cellular repair.
Recovery
Some patients may experience mild, temporary side effects such as ear pressure (similar to flying), lightheadedness, fatigue, or headache. Diabetic patients may notice lower blood sugar levels.
These effects are generally short-lived, and your Younique provider will review all details during your consultation.
READY TO BEGIN?
How do I prepare for my HBO therapy?
The preparations are fairly simple:
- Eat a nutritious meal a few hours before your treatment.
- Wear only 100% cotton clothing for your treatment.
- Don’t wear any perfume, deodorant, makeup, lotions, hair products, or body piercings.
- Don’t apply nail polish or acrylics within 24 hours before your treatment.
- Do not wear contact lenses or any jewelry.
- Stop smoking during your entire treatment/healing regimen.
- Make sure to inform your Younique provider if you’re feeling symptoms of cold or flu.
- Understand that no electronic devices are allowed in the chamber during treatment.
How long does a hyperbaric oxygen therapy session last?
HBO treatments can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 5 hours, though most take about 2 hours to complete. Most patients receive 1 treatment per day, Monday through Friday, for a prescribed number of weeks. Throughout the therapy, the doctor remains close to the machine to monitor the procedure and ensure everything is going right. Patients are free to leave the chamber after the time determined for the therapy has passed.
Before you leave, your Younique provider will do a quick check on your pulse and blood pressure, as the hyperbaric chamber can affect them. Also, the glucose level is evaluated in diabetic patients, as high pressure can lower blood sugar. Once your provider has ensured that you are stable, you may head back out into your day.
What does hyperbaric oxygen therapy feel like?
Most patients find HBOT relaxing. You may feel mild pressure in your ears similar to an airplane ascent, which typically resolves quickly. Many patients read, listen to music, or rest during their session.
Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe?
When administered under medical supervision, HBOT is considered safe and well-tolerated. Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as ear pressure (similar to flying) or slight fatigue.
