Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know 🧬

Q: Which one do I need—HBOT or IHHT?

A: It depends on your goal! HBOT is best for physical repair (injuries, skin, inflammation), while IHHT is like a workout for your cells (energy, metabolism, brain fog). Most clients use the Gold Pack to do a 70/30 split to cover both bases.

Q: Why do you recommend 10 sessions?

A: Science shows that physiological changes—like capillary growth or mitochondrial renewal—happen through consistency. A single session feels great, after the 10hs is where the health upgrades starts happening.

Q: Is it safe?

A: Yes. Both therapies are non-invasive. Our HBOT uses medical-grade oxygen and our IHHT mimics high-altitude training under strict sensor monitoring. You’ll be in a monitored private environment the whole time. As always though, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting, especially for those with pre-existing health conditions.

Q: How long is each session?

A: Expect to spend about 50-60 minutes with us. It’s the perfect time to catch up on a podcast, read, meditate or even ride a bike while your body does the hard work.

Q: Can I share my pack with a partner?

A: Yes! Our Diamond pack is transferable. Bring a friend or family member and use your credits together.

Q: Where are you located?

A: We are right in the heart of Limassol! Nexus Medical Hub. Address: 1, Marias Rousou Michaelidou, St, 3117

IHHT Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypoxic training?

Hypoxic training involves exercising in a low-oxygen environment to enhance physical performance and endurance. This method helps athletes adapt to high-altitude conditions, improving their overall fitness and recovery times.

How does altitude training work?

Altitude training works by exposing the body to lower oxygen levels, which stimulates physiological adaptations. These adaptations can lead to improved endurance, increased red blood cell production, and enhanced overall performance.

Who can benefit from hypoxic training?

Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking to improve their physical performance can benefit from hypoxic training. It is suitable for various sports and fitness levels, promoting better endurance and recovery.

Is hypoxic training safe for everyone?

Yes, hypoxic training is generally safe for most individuals. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new training regimen, especially for those with pre-existing health conditions.

How often should I train in a hypoxic environment?

The frequency of hypoxic training sessions can vary based on individual goals and fitness levels. For optimal results.is 2-3 sessions per week are recommended, but even one per week is enough to keep you on the right track.

HBOT Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear inside the chamber?

Comfort is key. We recommend 100% cotton clothing if possible. Loose-fitting gym wear, pajamas, or sweatpants are ideal.

  • Avoid: Underwired bras, tight belts, or restrictive jewelry.
  • Electronics: Most soft chambers allow for tablets or phones so you can watch a movie or listen to a podcast, but check with our staff first regarding specific device safety.

Is it claustrophobic?

While the chamber is an enclosed space, our 1.8 ATA soft chambers feature large viewing windows and internal lighting. Most users find the experience quite cozy—similar to being in a small tent or a sleeping bag. You can communicate with the staff at any time through the intercom or windows.

What does the pressure feel like?

The only sensation you will likely feel is a slight “fullness” in your ears, very similar to landing in an airplane or diving to the bottom of a swimming pool. Our staff will coach you on equalizing techniques (like yawning or swallowing) to ensure you are comfortable during the “descent” and “ascent.”

How long does a typical session last?

A standard session is 50-60 minutes.

  • Compression (5-10 mins): The chamber slowly reaches 1.8 ATA.
  • The “Dive” (40-50 mins): You relax, read, or sleep at full pressure.
  • Decompression (5-10 mins): The pressure is slowly released.

Can I use the chamber if I’m congested?

If you have a severe cold, sinus infection, or ear blockage, we recommend rescheduling. Congestion can make it difficult to equalize the pressure in your ears, which may cause discomfort.

    • Summary: This study discusses the importance of the “slow compression” method used in mild hyperbaric therapy to prevent ear discomfort, noting that lower pressures (like 1.8 ATA) have a much lower incidence of ear issues than high-pressure hospital units.
    • PMID: 25291410
  2. On the “Soft Chamber” Environment:
    • Reference: Feasibility and safety of mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
    • Summary: Research confirms that “mild” hyperbaric therapy (typically 1.3 to 1.8 ATA) provides a safer, more accessible alternative for long-term wellness protocols with a significantly reduced risk of oxygen toxicity compared to 2.5+ ATA environments.

  3. On Cognitive Comfort & Compliance:
    • Reference: Psychological aspects of hyperbaric medicine.
    • Summary: This paper highlights that patient compliance and “treatment success” are higher in environments where the patient feels in control and comfortable, supporting the use of windowed, soft-sided chambers for those with mild anxiety.
