HBOT Treatment Process & What to Expect
Introducing HBOT Therapy
Hair growth is a complex biological process that depends on oxygen, nutrients, and proper blood circulation to sustain healthy follicles. The scalp’s microvascular system plays a crucial role in delivering oxygen-rich blood to hair follicles, supporting their function and ensuring they remain in the active growth phase (anagen phase).Â
However, hair loss conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, stress-related shedding, and post-surgical recovery can disrupt this process, leading to follicular miniaturization, slower regrowth, and weaker hair strands.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a breakthrough regenerative treatment that addresses these issues by saturating the blood and tissues with high levels of oxygen, promoting scalp health, accelerating healing, and stimulating dormant follicles.
At Age Back co., we have integrated HBOT into our comprehensive hair restoration protocols, ensuring that every patient receives scientifically backed therapies.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?
HBOT is a therapeutic technique where individuals breathe pure oxygen in a controlled, pressurized chamber. This process allows oxygen to dissolve into all of the body’s fluids, including plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. For hair restoration, this increased oxygen availability is crucial for strengthening hair follicles, reducing inflammation, and supporting the scalp’s natural ability to regrow hair.
How HBOT Works
Under normal conditions, oxygen is transported through the bloodstream by red blood cells, with limited amounts reaching tissues that need repair. But when you breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, the laws of physics take over.Â
The oxygen dissolves directly into the blood plasma, lymphatic system, and cerebrospinal fluid, traveling to even the most oxygen-starved areas—including dormant hair follicles that have stopped growing hair.
Think of it as supercharging your body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate, particularly in areas where poor circulation or inflammation has limited hair growth.
Here’s how it works:
1. Flooding the Blood with Oxygen to Revive Hair Follicles
When follicles stop receiving sufficient oxygen and nutrients, they shrink and become dormant. HBOT restores oxygen-rich blood flow to these follicles, reactivating their function and prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.
2. Stimulating New Blood Vessel Growth (Angiogenesis)
HBOT triggers angiogenesis, the formation of new capillaries and blood vessels around hair follicles. This process improves nutrient absorption, ensuring that follicles receive essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins needed for sustained hair growth.
3. Reducing Inflammation & Oxidative Stress That Contribute to Hair Loss
Inflammation is a silent killer when it comes to hair loss. Conditions like androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and post-transplant trauma often involve high levels of oxidative stress and inflammation that weaken hair follicles. HBOT helps by:
- Reducing pro-inflammatory markers, calming scalp irritation and redness.
- Neutralizing free radicals, protecting hair follicle stem cells from damage.
- Enhancing immune function, preventing autoimmune attacks on hair follicles.
4. Boosting Stem Cell Activity for Hair Regeneration
Hair follicles contain specialized stem cells that dictate whether hair continues to grow or enters a dormant state. HBOT activates these stem cells, encouraging them to produce new, healthy hair strands.
5. Accelerating Healing After a Hair Transplant
For those who have undergone a hair transplant, oxygen supply is the key to successful graft survival. Newly implanted follicles must quickly form connections with surrounding blood vessels to thrive. HBOT increases post-surgical oxygenation, reducing swelling, improving graft survival rates, and accelerating the return to natural hair growth.
How does HBOT compare to other hair restoration treatments?
HBOT is one of the few therapies that directly enhances scalp oxygenation, follicular regeneration, and post-surgical healing. Unlike traditional topical treatments or medications, HBOT works at a cellular level to stimulate natural repair mechanisms, making it a valuable addition to both surgical and non-surgical hair restoration plans.
For the best results, HBOT is often combined with PRP, exosomes, and other regenerative therapies to enhance follicular recovery and improve long-term hair density.
| Treatment Type | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) | Increases oxygen saturation in blood and scalp tissues, improving follicular health and hair growth. | Hair transplant recovery, early-stage hair thinning, non-surgical regrowth. |
| PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) | Injects growth factors derived from the patient’s blood into the scalp to rejuvenate follicles. | Mild to moderate hair loss, strengthening existing hair. |
| Exosome Therapy | Uses stem-cell-derived exosomes to stimulate follicle repair and regrowth. | Accelerating hair regeneration, reducing inflammation. |
| Minoxidil & Finasteride | Topical and oral medications that stimulate hair growth and block DHT (hair loss hormone). | Androgenetic alopecia, ongoing hair maintenance. |
HBOT Treatment Process & What to Expect
Pre-Treatment Consultation
Before starting HBOT, clients undergo a detailed consultation that includes a full assessment of hair loss patterns and scalp health. This initial step ensures that HBOT sessions are tailored to meet individual restoration goals.
Inside the HBOT Chamber
During each session, clients relax comfortably in the pressurized oxygen chamber. The environment is designed for maximum comfort, allowing for activities such as reading or listening to music. The process is non-invasive and pain-free, with a team available to ensure client safety throughout the session.
Treatment Schedule
Pre-Transplant: Two HBOT sessions before the hair transplant to prepare follicles and optimize the scalp environment.
Post-Transplant: Five HBOT sessions following the procedure to accelerate healing, minimize inflammation, and improve graft survival.
Non-Surgical Hair Restoration: For clients seeking non-surgical options, customized HBOT plans are available to stimulate hair growth and enhance scalp health.
Post-Treatment Sensations
Following each HBOT session, clients commonly experience mild ear pressure due to the change in atmospheric pressure. Feelings of relaxation and increased scalp circulation are also typical and indicate the therapy’s effectiveness.
Did you know?
Aesthetic Surgery Journal (2022) found that HBOT increases hair graft survival rates by 35%, improving the overall success of hair transplant procedures.

The timeline for results depends on the individual’s condition, treatment frequency, and whether HBOT is used in conjunction with a hair transplant.
- Immediate Effects: Patients typically experience reduced swelling, faster healing, and improved circulation within the first few sessions.
- Short-Term Improvements (1–2 months): Increased oxygen supply supports follicular health, strengthens existing hair, and reduces inflammation.
- Visible Hair Regrowth (3–6 months): For transplant patients, new hair growth becomes noticeable as grafts enter the active growth phase (anagen phase). Non-surgical patients see gradual thickening and strengthening of hair strands.
- Long-Term Benefits (6+ months): Consistent HBOT use helps sustain healthy hair follicles, reduces shedding, and prolongs hair density.
HBOT is not an overnight solution, but its effects compound over time, making it an excellent option for those looking for sustained follicular health and regrowth.
02
Yes, HBOT is highly effective for non-surgical hair restoration. While it is often used as a post-transplant recovery aid, it also benefits individuals experiencing hair thinning, early-stage hair loss, or scalp conditions affecting follicular function.
HBOT enhances blood circulation and nutrient absorption in the scalp, helping to:
- Stimulate dormant follicles to restart the hair growth cycle.
- Increase scalp oxygenation, which supports healthier and thicker hair.
- Reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, preventing follicular miniaturization.
For those not ready for a transplant, HBOT can be used as a standalone therapy or in combination with PRP, exosome therapy, or microneedling for stronger, more resilient hair growth.
03
HBOT is a non-invasive and generally well-tolerated therapy, but some individuals may experience minor, temporary side effects as their body adjusts to the increased oxygen levels.
Potential side effects include:
- Mild ear pressure during pressurization, similar to what is experienced during an airplane ascent.
- Temporary lightheadedness due to increased oxygen intake.
- A mild sense of energy boost or heightened alertness post-session.
These effects typically subside quickly after the session ends. The treatment is FDA-approved for multiple medical conditions, and the risk of serious side effects is extremely low when conducted under proper medical supervision.
Age beautifully!
