Oxygen is the foundation everything else builds on. Hyperbaric sessions are a simple way to make more of it available to your body during rest. Used consistently as part of a balanced routine, time in the chamber complements the other foundations on this page.

Frequently asked
What is mild hyperbaric oxygen used for in a wellness routine?
Mild hyperbaric sessions involve resting inside a gently pressurized chamber — typically 1.3 to 1.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA) for home and wellness use — which allows more oxygen to dissolve into the body's fluids. People incorporate sessions into general recovery and everyday wellness routines. It is a wellness practice, not a medical treatment.
What is mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT)?
Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) refers to sessions in a soft-shell, lower-pressure chamber — typically 1.3 to 1.5 ATA — rather than the higher-pressure clinical HBOT used in hospital settings. The lower pressure and ambient-air-plus-concentrator setup makes mHBOT practical for home use as a general wellness routine. It is not a medical treatment and does not require a prescription.
How do I do hyperbaric oxygen therapy at home?
Home mild HBOT uses a soft-shell inflatable chamber paired with an oxygen concentrator. You set the chamber up in a spare room, connect the concentrator, and run sessions of 60–90 minutes at 1.3–1.5 ATA. Metisine includes onsite setup assistance, training, and protocol guidance with every home chamber purchase so you start with a safe, matched system.
What is a portable hyperbaric chamber?
A portable hyperbaric chamber is an inflatable, soft-shell chamber that can be set up and taken down without permanent installation. These chambers typically reach 1.3–1.5 ATA and are designed for home use, travel, or temporary clinic setups. They deflate for storage and can be moved between rooms or locations. Metisine carries portable soft-shell chambers matched with compatible oxygen concentrators.
How much does a home hyperbaric chamber cost?
Home soft-shell hyperbaric chambers (1.3–1.5 ATA) typically range from around $3,000 to $15,000 depending on size, pressure rating, and brand. Clinical hard-shell chambers start higher. The total cost of ownership also includes an oxygen concentrator, any install support, and ongoing maintenance. Metisine provides transparent, itemized pricing — contact our team or visit the shop for current model pricing.
Where can I buy a hyperbaric chamber?
Hyperbaric chambers are available through specialist distributors like Metisine Health, which offers consultation, model matching, and white-glove installation support. Purchasing through a specialist rather than a general marketplace ensures you get a chamber correctly sized for your space, matched with a compatible oxygen concentrator, and set up safely. Visit metisine.com/shop to browse available models.
How often should I use a hyperbaric chamber at home?
Consistency tends to matter more than intensity. Many people fold short, regular sessions into the same slot each day, alongside good sleep, hydration, and movement. Start with a comfortable cadence you can keep and follow the manufacturer's guidance.
What's the difference between a soft-shell and hard-shell chamber?
Soft-shell chambers are typically lighter, more affordable, and easier to set up at home, operating at lower pressures. Hard-shell chambers reach higher pressures and are common in clinical settings. What usually matters more than shell type is how much oxygen is available during a session and how often you'll realistically use it.
Can I install a hyperbaric chamber at home?
Yes. Many soft-shell chambers are designed for home use and plug into a standard outlet with minimal setup. Our team can help you match a model to your space and walk you through siting and safe operation for either a home or a clinic.
Is mild hyperbaric use safe?
Mild hyperbaric chambers designed for consumer wellness use are generally considered safe for healthy adults when used as directed. People who are pregnant, have ear or sinus conditions, or have specific health concerns should consult a healthcare professional before starting.
