Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy — Detox (90 min)

The Detox protocol is the flagship hyperbaric session at EFI SPA Hotel, running for 90 minutes at 50 kPa — approximately 1.5 times normal atmospheric pressure, which is the upper range for soft-chamber mild hyperbaric therapy. At this pressure, significantly more oxygen dissolves into the blood plasma than at the shorter Refresh protocol, allowing deeper tissue penetration and a longer plateau window. The OXYLIFE chamber in EFI's Brno wellness centre is available to hotel guests and the public, with no referral required. The Detox session is favoured by athletes seeking accelerated recovery, individuals managing post-viral fatigue or post-COVID-19 symptoms, and those looking to support skin collagen production, hair condition and overall vitality. Senior Pass holders receive a 20% discount on this session.

The 90-minute Detox session at EFI SPA Hotel delivers hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 50 kPa — a pressure of approximately 1.5 ATA (atmospheres absolute) — which is the highest pressure available at this facility and represents the gold standard for soft-chamber mild hyperbaric therapy in Central European spa settings. At 1.5 ATA, the partial pressure of oxygen in the lungs is 50% higher than at sea level. This drives proportionally more oxygen into solution in blood plasma, allowing it to diffuse into tissues that haemoglobin-bound oxygen cannot easily reach: areas with compromised microcirculation, inflamed tissue, post-exercise micro-damaged muscle and skin layers. The 90-minute session provides a longer plateau phase than the Refresh protocol, giving additional time for this dissolved oxygen to exert its effects at the cellular level. The OXYLIFE unit at EFI SPA is a commercial mild hyperbaric chamber. After entering through the zippered closure and positioning yourself comfortably, you will feel the cabin gradually firm as pressure builds over roughly 10–15 minutes. At the 50 kPa plateau the chamber has a noticeably different feel from the Refresh protocol — slightly firmer and with a subtly different sensation when swallowing. The wellness team briefs first-timers on how to equalise pressure gently throughout the session. The plateau lasts approximately 60 minutes before a controlled depressurisation over the final 10–15 minutes returns the cabin to ambient. This session is particularly suitable for individuals recovering from intense physical training, endurance sport or competition; those managing post-COVID-19 fatigue, lingering respiratory symptoms or cognitive fog; people seeking accelerated wound or post-surgical tissue healing; and those interested in skin rejuvenation, as hyperbaric oxygenation may support collagen and elastin synthesis and improve skin tone and hydration over a course of sessions. The clinic's own guidance notes potential support for improved tissue oxygenation and blood flow (prokrvení tkání), enhanced breathing quality, harmonised sleep rhythm, mood stabilisation, skin condition and hair health. Post-plastic surgery recovery support is also mentioned for patients wanting accelerated tissue healing. For best results, a course of multiple sessions is typically recommended; the hotel offers an 8-session Vitality & Immunity pack at a discounted rate. For the Detox 90-minute session specifically, gift vouchers for an eight-session pack are available at 5,000 Kč via efishop.cz. Senior Pass holders receive a 20% discount on this session, bringing the per-session price to 640 Kč. Contraindications include active fever, acute ear or sinus infection, recent ear surgery, untreated pneumothorax, active malignancy, uncontrolled hypertension and severe claustrophobia. The wellness reception can advise before booking.
