Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT)

Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) in a pressurised chamber at 4–4.5 PSI above ambient, delivering 90%+ pure oxygen in a non-nitrogen atmosphere. Sessions last approximately 50 minutes. HBOT may support post-exercise recovery, cognitive function, wound healing, and general cellular health. Available at $350 per session at Next Health's West Hollywood Sunset Blvd location.

Next Health West Hollywood offers mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) as a core longevity protocol, administering sessions in a pressurised chamber at 4–4.5 PSI above ambient atmospheric pressure — equivalent to approximately 1.3 ATA (atmospheres absolute). At this pressure level, the partial pressure of oxygen breathed by the patient is significantly elevated compared to normal atmospheric conditions, as the chamber is flooded with 90%+ pure oxygen rather than the 21% oxygen in room air. Henry's Law governs the physiological basis: increased pressure causes greater quantities of oxygen to dissolve directly into the blood plasma (not just bound to haemoglobin), allowing oxygen-rich plasma to reach tissues in areas where red blood cell delivery may be limited by inflammation, poor circulation, or microvascular compromise. The 'non-nitrogen' atmosphere is a key feature of Next Health's system — conventional hyperbaric chambers can introduce nitrogen narcosis at pressure; a pure-oxygen or near-pure-oxygen environment eliminates this. Potential benefits associated with mHBOT protocols in the research literature include enhanced post-exercise recovery through accelerated lactate clearance and reduction of oxidative stress markers; support for neuroplasticity and cognitive function via increased cerebral oxygen delivery; angiogenesis stimulation (growth of new blood vessels in hypoxic tissue); support for wound healing, particularly in chronic or surgical wounds; and modulation of inflammatory pathways. Athletes and longevity-focused clients at Next Health typically use HBOT in a regular weekly protocol. Each session runs approximately 50 minutes inside the chamber. The mHBOT pressure level used at Next Health (1.3 ATA) is a soft-sided, consumer-accessible chamber class rather than the hard-shelled 2.0+ ATA medical chambers used in clinical hyperbaric settings for FDA-cleared indications such as diabetic foot wounds and decompression sickness.
