Hard Shell vs. Soft Shell Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
As we age, our bodies naturally begin to decline, leading to a number of changes that can impact our overall health and wellbeing. The good news is that recent research suggests Hyperbaric Therapy may have the ability to reverse the aging process and improve overall health and wellness.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which has a number of beneficial effects on the entire body. Hard Shell Hyperbaric Chambers help to improve the delivery of oxygen to the body's tissues and can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including: wound healing, autoimmune diseases, age-related cognitive decline, post-concussion syndrome, and more. Chambers like ours allow for the absorption of up to 1,500% more oxygen into the blood, which can help to improve oxygenation in tissues that are not getting enough oxygen due to certain medical conditions. This increased oxygenation from Hard Shell Hyperbaric Chambers can stimulate the production of collagen and other substances important for wound healing and help reduce tissue swelling and inflammation. Soft shell Hyperbaric Chambers can help with some light recovery; however, they lack the ability to reach therapeutic pressures that promote systemic healing and cellular regeneration.
In addition to the benefits of increased pressure, Hard Shell Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has also been shown to have a number of anti-aging effects. Studies have found that hyperbaric therapy can improve cognitive function, reverse skin aging, boost the immune system, and even promote the growth of new blood vessels and nerve tissue. These effects may be due, in part, to the ability of high-pressure hyperbaric therapy to stimulate the production of stem cells, which can repair and regenerate damaged tissue.
A recent study recently published study from scientists at Tel Aviv University (TAU) and Shamir Medical Center in Israel showed that high-pressure hyperbaric therapy was found to reverse two major cellular processes associated with aging and its diseases. It was able to increase the length of telomeres and reduce the number of senescent cells. This unique protocol cannot be done at the low pressures of soft chambers and can only be replicated in hard shell chambers.
So, the good news is that high-pressure hyperbaric therapy at Huemn in Houston, TX may have the ability to reverse the aging process and improve overall health and wellness. While both hard-shell and soft-shell hyperbaric chambers can be used for this purpose, hard-shell chambers offer a number of advantages that make them a more efficient and effective choice. Hard-shell chambers are more durable, have a longer lifespan, are more stable and secure, and are easier to clean and maintain. Overall, hard-shell hyperbaric chambers offer a number of benefits that make them the preferred choice for optimizing the time and resources invested in hyperbaric therapy.
