Delivering Concentrated Oxygen for Maximum Benefit

Your body already relies on oxygen for every stage of healing, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy simply gives it more to work with. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer this treatment to patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena who are recovering from surgery or seeking a real boost in cellular repair and overall wellness.

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers concentrated oxygen to your body within a pressurized chamber, allowing your bloodstream to absorb significantly more oxygen than breathing normally allows. This increased oxygen saturation supports tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing at the cellular level, streamlining your recovery process. While every patient has their own motivations for seeking treatment, many come to us for the following benefits: 

  • Accelerated healing following surgical procedures
  • Reduced inflammation throughout the body
  • Support for cellular repair and overall recovery
  • A restorative addition to an ongoing wellness routine

The LRMD Difference 

When you choose Leif Rogers, MD, for your hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Beverly Hills and Pasadena, you choose an experience rooted in customized care and clinical excellence at every step. Here, oxygen therapy is always properly calibrated to your specific health status and goals, not applied as a one-size-fits-all protocol. Your nurse will set the pressure levels and session length to suit your needs before your session and adjust them accordingly throughout treatment. 

Our team, working under the clinical direction of Brendan Courneene, ND, integrates this therapy directly into your broader recovery or wellness plan rather than offering it as a stand-alone amenity disconnected from your overall care. At LRMD, every non-invasive treatment is delivered with the same level of precision and medical alignment as our surgical procedures. 

What to Expect From Your Hyperbaric Oxygen Sessions in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

How Pressurized Oxygen Reaches Your Tissues

Inside the hyperbaric chamber, increased atmospheric pressure allows oxygen to dissolve more efficiently into your blood plasma, reaching tissue that may otherwise receive a limited oxygen supply. This enhanced delivery drives the therapy's healing and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping you recover faster and get back to feeling like yourself.

Addressing Your Exact Concerns

Here, we typically include hyperbaric oxygen therapy as part of our patients’ post-surgical plans, taking a more strategic, medically-focused approach to recovery. Common reasons patients choose this treatment include the following:

  • Post-surgical healing support
  • Chronic inflammation management
  • General wellness and cellular repair
  • Recovery support alongside other longevity services

During your initial consultation, your technician will review your health history to confirm that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is right for you.

Designed For Your Comfort

To start your session, you’ll change into comfortable clothing and enter the hyperbaric chamber with your technician’s assistance. There, you’ll lie comfortably as pressure gradually increases and oxygen is delivered to your body, with most sessions lasting 60-90 minutes. Many patients read, rest, or listen to music throughout their session. 

Building Your Treatment Schedule

Post-surgical patients often benefit from sessions scheduled several times per week during early recovery. If you’re using this therapy for general wellness, we recommend sessions once or twice weekly, depending on your specific goals.

A Restful Recovery With Minimal Disruption

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves no incisions, needles, or physical strain, making post-treatment recovery straightforward for most patients. You may notice mild ear pressure, similar to that experienced during air travel, as the chamber pressurizes and depressurizes. Your technician will help you manage and post-treatment changes in ear pressure once you exit the chamber.

Most patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena return to normal activities immediately after treatment, with many reporting a noticeable sense of calm and clarity. If you’re receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy as part of a surgical recovery plan, you’ll need to follow your surgeon’s guidance regarding activity limitations as you heal.

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your hyperbaric oxygen session, we’ll provide targeted guidance to help you maintain your results between visits. This plan may include the following:

  • Hydration recommendations to support cellular repair
  • Signs of normal ear pressure adjustment versus concerns to report
  • Scheduling reminders for your next session

Over the course of your treatment plan, you’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena office for continued sessions with our team. There, your technician will track your progress and adjust your schedule as your needs evolve.

Healing That Builds With Consistency

Because hyperbaric oxygen therapy supports your body's natural healing and repair processes, benefits build with consistent use over time. Most patients notice improved energy and reduced inflammation within the first few sessions, with continued support for healing across a regular treatment schedule.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Frequently Asked Questions

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy only used after surgery?

No. While hyperbaric oxygen therapy is commonly used to support post-surgical healing, many patients also use it as part of an ongoing wellness or longevity program to promote recovery, reduce inflammation, and support overall health.

Will I feel claustrophobic inside the hyperbaric chamber?

Most patients feel comfortable in the spacious hyperbaric chamber and spend their session relaxing, reading, or resting. Your technician will explain the process before treatment begins and remain available throughout your session. If you feel claustrophobic or uncomfortable at any point, let your technician know immediately.

How soon after surgery can I begin hyperbaric oxygen sessions?

The appropriate timing depends on your specific procedure and healing progress. Your surgical team will determine when it is safe and beneficial to incorporate hyperbaric oxygen therapy into your personalized post-operative recovery plan.

Does hyperbaric oxygen therapy have any side effects?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is generally well tolerated. The most common sensation is mild ear pressure during pressurization and depressurization, similar to what you may experience during air travel. Your technician will gradually adjust the chamber pressure and monitor your comfort throughout the session.

How many sessions will I need to notice a benefit?

Many patients notice improvements in energy, recovery, and inflammation within the first several sessions. The total number of treatments depends on your individual health goals, recovery needs, and response to therapy. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment schedule based on your progress.
