What is the most effective way to live better for longer and to feel younger immediately? The answer is oxygen. Human cells need and thrive on oxygen. We know this from science and from our own practical experience.

Have you ever noticed how dewy and bright your skin looks and feels after a hike or walk in a forest? The fresh air (oxygen) in our bloodstream stimulates our blood circulation and is crucial to our skin’s ability to create new cells.Normally, we absorb 21% oxygen with each breath we take. Oxygen fuels our cells and is essential for our survival. Oxygen helps us transform food into energy which is particularly important for our brains, immune systems, cell regeneration and healing.

Imagine if we could supply the body with 100% oxygen? Increase the energy supply to the brain and speed up cell turnover in the skin thereby boosting the skin’s own ability to produce collagen? Imagine no longer – we can live better and feel younger through Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Initially discovered in 1662 and continually developed into the 1800’s, hyperbaric oxygen chambers became renowned for easing decompression sickness from scuba diving. This has enabled the medical profession to research and study the benefits for hundreds of years proving the indisputable benefits to cellular performance.

How does it work? Inside the chamber, the air pressure is increased 2 to 3 times higher than normal air pressure, which enables your lungs to gather much more pure oxygen. The additional oxygen helps fight bacteria and triggers the release of growth factors and stem cells which promote healing… and delay the aging process.

A recent study by researchers from Tel Aviv University in cooperation with the Sagol Centre for Hyperbaric Medicine concluded that “Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases telomere length (by more than 20%) and decreases immunosenescence in insolated blood cells (by 10-37%), thereby delaying the aging process”. Telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes and in short, humans are only as young as the length of their telomeres. With each cell division, they become shorter until at some point the cells no longer divide at all because they are simply too old. Unfortunately, they commence weakening at the age of 25 so it is never too early for cell fitness!

How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy work at LABO Spa? Our state-of-the-art chamber is specifically designed for the comfort of 2 people, so you can bring a friend, colleague, or impress your client with a seriously unique meeting spot!

There is no need to undress and you can take your phone, laptop, book inside with you.

Once we settle you comfortably inside the chamber, fit your oxygen mask and secure the chamber door; the chamber’s air pressure will build for a period of up to 15 minutes. The pressure will then remain stable at 1.5 bars for 60 minutes before gradually decreasing for up to 15 minutes. The oxygen content in your body will be increased by 14 times enabling your cells and body to enjoy the most important benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy:

• Acceleration of collagen formation in connective tissue.
• Activation of cell division stimulating the growth of telomeres and reversing deterioration.
• Reduction and elimination of inflammatory processes.
• Shortening the convalescence phase after injuries and operations.
• Increasing blood circulation and activating the formation of new cells.
• Improvement of long covid symptoms.
• Increase in energy and physical performance.
• Improving sleep quality and mental focus.
• Elimination of jet lag.

Studies & Research

For optimal effect, we recommend ten therapy sessions at intervals of three to five days. Individual sessions are primarily suitable for jet lag or acute states of exhaustion.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is not recommended for persons who have or have had lung disease, sinusitis, respiratory tract infections, pregnancy or people who have had ear surgery.

A brief consultation will be conducted before your first session and as always, we do recommend you consult your physician first if you have any concerns at all.
