Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Breathe deeper than the room allows.

HBOT treatment in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur: a private 60-minute hyperbaric oxygen session at 1.3 ATA.

Last reviewed:

The short answer

HBOT treatment, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, means breathing oxygen inside a sealed chamber at higher than ambient pressure, so more oxygen dissolves into your blood and reaches tissue. At CAIAN in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, a private 60-minute session runs at 1.3 ATA, the wellness pressure, for RM 298, or inside the RM 198 First Reset on a first visit.

What it is

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is breathing oxygen at slightly higher than ambient pressure inside a sealed chamber. The pressure helps your body absorb more oxygen per breath.

At CAIAN we operate at 1.3 ATA. This is wellness-grade, distinct from the 2.0+ ATA medical chambers used in hospitals for decompression sickness or severe wound care.

How it works

Under pressure, more oxygen dissolves into blood plasma and reaches tissue that ordinary breathing saturates slowly. A review of the mechanisms written for plastic surgeons describes the principal effect as cell signalling driven by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, with the strongest clinical evidence in refractory diabetic wounds and radiation injury, and animal studies plus a small number of trials for compromised flaps and grafts (see Sources below). The aesthetic-surgery review reports that its included protocols used 2.0 to 3.0 ATA (see Sources below); the other studies below do not state their pressure in their summaries. CAIAN's 1.3 ATA session is offered as a wellness service, and the cited clinical results do not establish effects for it.

What the evidence shows

Three studies stand behind the claims people make about HBOT and recovery, and each has limits worth stating. A 2025 systematic review of HBOT after aesthetic surgery pooled 11 studies and 734 patients, 416 of whom received HBOT, mostly after the operation; it reports reduced healing times with a pooled mean of 11.3 days and early satisfaction rates up to 88.2%, and its authors call for randomised trials because protocols varied (see Sources below). A randomised trial gave 41 athletes with exercise-related muscle injury 10 sessions of HBOT or placebo; by the tenth session the HBOT group had lower creatine kinase, transaminase and myoglobin, lasting two more weeks, and less pain, while the control group did not change (see Sources below). A three-month randomised trial in 63 healthy adults over 64 found improved global cognitive function, attention and processing speed with increased cerebral blood flow; six of its authors work for a hyperbaric company, AVIV Scientific, and one of them holds shares in it (see Sources below).

These are clinical studies of specific groups under supervised protocols, and none of them is a study of a wellness session. We cite them for the mechanism and its evidence, not as promises about what an hour at 1.3 ATA will do for you.

What a session feels like

You lie down in a private cabin. The chamber pressurizes slowly over a few minutes; you may feel mild pressure in your ears similar to a flight descent. Once at pressure, breathing is quiet and even.

Most people read, listen to music, or simply rest. Sixty minutes pass without conversation, without interruption.

A note

HBOT at 1.3 ATA is offered as a wellness service. We do not claim HBOT cures or treats specific medical conditions. If you are managing a medical condition or are post-surgery within the first weeks, please consult your doctor before booking. The studies linked under Sources are clinical studies of specific groups under supervised protocols; they are background, and they do not establish effects for our sessions.

Common questions

Is 1.3 ATA strong enough to do anything?
Yes, for wellness purposes. 1.3 ATA roughly doubles the oxygen your tissues can absorb compared to ambient air, which is enough to support cellular repair and reduce inflammation. The 2.0+ ATA pressures used in hospitals are for acute medical conditions like decompression sickness, a different category of intervention.
What does the pressurization feel like?
Like a slow flight descent. You may feel mild ear pressure as the chamber pressurizes over a few minutes. Equalizing is easy: swallowing or yawning is usually enough. Once at pressure, breathing is quiet and even.
How many sessions do I need to feel a difference?
Most guests notice improved sleep and reduced fatigue within 3 to 5 sessions. Visible recovery markers like reduced swelling or faster bruise resolution typically need 5 to 10 sessions over a few weeks. The effect compounds with consistency.
Are there days I shouldn't come?
If you have a cold, flu, sinus infection, or ear infection, please reschedule. The pressurization can be uncomfortable. Pregnancy, severe untreated cardiovascular conditions, and recent eye surgery are also reasons to postpone. We will go through this in your first intake.
