Hyperbarics for Anti-aging Treatments
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been proven clinically to not just slow, but actually reverse, the biological signs of aging. In fact, HBOT reverse aging therapy is perhaps the only medical treatment that can reverse aging by:
- helping your cells reproduce better
- stimulating stem cells, which repair tissues
- repairing the part of your cells that produce energy (mitochondria)
- helping your body process oxygen more efficiently in order to heal.

How HBOT Treatment Works as An Anti-Aging Therapy
Improves brain tissue oxygenation and regeneration
Regrows new blood vessels and improves blood flow
Reduces pain and swelling, including in the brain
Builds new collagen, skin and tissues
Increases the length of Telomeres, which enable cells to reproduce
Stimulates stem cells to reproduce and mobilize
Repairs mitochondria, which provide your cells with energy
Speeds recovery from injuries and surgery
We do not have to accept changes that cause physical and cognitive decline as we age
As we age, a number of triggers occur that cause both physical and cognitive decline:
- Our bodies become less efficient at processing oxygen. This leads to decreases in mental and physical performance
- Mitochondria, which are the part of our cells that generate energy, lose their effectiveness and decrease in numbers. We therefore have less energy
- To stay young, our cells need to divide, so new cells can replace dead cells. However, a key part of our DNA—Telomeres, which protect each strand of DNA in our bodies—becomes shorter. Telomeres eventually become so short that they prevent new cells from being produced.
- Stem cells, which repair our tissues, bones and nerves, decrease as we age. They also become less efficient, and thus less effective at repairing damaged tissue.
Fortunately, you do not have to accept these changes that cause us to decline as we age. Dozens of clinical studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reverse each of these causes of aging. It helps us:
- Process oxygen better
- Grow healthy, powerful mitochondria
- Lengthen Telomeres, which enables new cells to replace old, dead cells
- Stimulates the growth and proliferation of stem cells
HBOT actually reverses the biological signs of aging. At Bay Area Hyperbarics, we can restore the vitality of youth with our hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been shown to help patients think faster, feel more vital, and experience less pain.
Patient Experiences
Thousands of patients use hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to reverse aging each year. Here are a few examples.
-
Helen, 94
Helen claimed that hyperbaric oxygen anti-aging treatments made her feel 20 years younger and kept her healthy well past her siblings.
Helen was the mother of a dear friend of Lisa St John, the clinic founder and director, and in her mid-80s, started to decline precipitously. She barely left her bed and had significant cognitive decline. After a series of HBOT anti-aging therapy sessions, she returned to her active lifestyle, where she traveled and hiked for another 15 years. She continued HBOT anti-aging therapy until she was 99 years old and claimed it was her fountain of youth.
-
Walter, 69
Walter was experiencing physical and cognitive decline and couldn't maintain the activities he so loved until he found Bay Area Hyperbarics. Today, after consistent HBOT reverse aging treatment sessions, he is vibrant, healthy, and appreciating his newfound ability to travel and enjoy retirement!
Walter had spent his life working as a CPA and continued to work until he was 67. Only two years later, he and his wife started noticing that he could not maintain his balance, walk easily up steps, and that his word recall and memory of people and places were decreasing precipitously. After 60 HBOT treatments, Walter said he felt more than 20 years younger. His wife and he agreed that his cognition had returned, and he had grown healthy muscle mass, which is critical in older patients.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy treats medical conditions with 100% oxygen in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber. The patient lies or sits in the chamber. The oxygen then saturates the plasma in the blood, allowing oxygen to flow easily throughout the body and reach even areas that are injured or diseased, which typically receive less oxygen.
The mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy include stimulating and mobilizing stem cells, down-regulating inflammatory genes, up-regulating reproductive cells, and stimulating DNA. HBOT treatment also regrows tiny blood vessels, and stimulates the growth of new healthy cells in the brain, bones, skin, organs, and tissues. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help with a range of conditions, including healing physical damage and acting as a highly effective anti-aging treatment. -
Does HBOT kill cancer cells?
Current research indicates that hyperbaric oxygen does not kill cancer cells. However, there has been a small amount of research indicating that hyperbaric oxygen might reduce the size of certain tumors. Also, there has been a study on mice using hyperbaric oxygen, along with a ketogenic diet, to reduce tumors. Hyperbaric oxygen causes many different healing modalities to kick into gear. Could its effect on strengthening the immune system inhibit the growth of cancer cells? Nobody knows. There are numerous studies conclusively showing that hyperbaric oxygen does not encourage cancer cells or tumors to grow. Some patients claim that hyperbaric oxygen makes them feel a lot more comfortable and functional after chemotherapy and also during healing. Note that some chemotherapy drugs are not to be used with hyperbaric oxygen, as the chemotherapy drugs can be enhanced and thus become toxic. A good hyperbaric oxygen facility (such as Bay Area Hyperbarics) will always call the chemotherapy manufacturer to ensure that hyperbaric oxygen therapy will be helpful and not damaging to the patient.

What is the CPT code for HBOT?
The CPT code for HBOT is G0277.

Can HBOT help Neuropathy?
Hyperbaric treatments help heal neuropathy by regrowing small blood vessels and nerves that have died from disease, injuries from radiation, and aging. Patients often experience numbness and or pain when they start treatment. Hyperbaric treatments most often bring back sensation and make, for example, walking easier and more enjoyable.

Does Medicare cover HBOT?
Medicare covers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for approved conditions, and many insurance companies also cover approved conditions. If your condition is not approved by your insurance, we can discuss our special rates. Give us a call at (408) 356–7438. We are happy to discuss your options with you.

Why would a physician consider HBOT?
A physician would consider using hyperbaric chamber therapy in a variety of situations. Physicians most typically refer patients to hyperbarics when the patient is not healing with traditional medical interventions, and hyperbaric chamber therapy is approved by Medicare for this condition. Some patients experience significant unresolved pain, and unremitting disease states that the mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a hyperbaric chamber are known to affect, such as the downregulation of inflammatory genes. For example, some patients have experienced severe, unremitting hives with itching, which did not improve with any specialist interventions. Some physicians will consider hyperbaric chamber therapy if the patient has no other good avenues for improving their failing health, and they know the hyperbaric chamber therapy is safe and will not harm the patient.

How does HBOT Treatment work?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HB0T) is a medical treatment where you inhale 100% oxygen in a chamber with increased atmospheric pressure. HBOT injects 400x the oxygen into your tissues and bones and mobilizes stem cells. It regrows healthy tissues in the brain, blood vessels, skin, and bones. It also reduces pain and swelling and speeds recovery. It is simple, effective, and painless.
