A controlled, pressurized oxygen therapy with established medical uses—and separate elective uses where evidence is less certain.

A Clinically Supervised Pressurized Oxygen Therapy.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing medical-grade oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, increasing plasma oxygen levels far beyond what’s possible at normal atmospheric conditions.
Higher ambient pressure increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in plasma. That mechanism is clinically useful for selected conditions, including certain problem wounds and other recognized hyperbaric indications.
AlyneMD distinguishes established medical indications from elective or off-label wellness goals. Claims involving cognition, metabolic health, generalized inflammation, athletic performance, or routine post-procedure recovery should not be treated as equivalent to recognized HBOT indications.
During HBOT, chamber pressure and oxygen delivery are prescribed according to the device, indication, and treatment protocol. Increased pressure raises dissolved oxygen in plasma and can improve oxygen delivery to selected tissues. Whether that translates into clinical benefit depends on the condition being treated; HBOT should not be assumed to provide broad anti-inflammatory, cognitive, metabolic, or performance benefits for every patient.

Hyperbaric oxygen has recognized medical indications, but wellness and longevity uses have a different evidence base and should be discussed separately.

HBOT has recognized medical indications, including selected problem wounds and other specific conditions. Uses for generalized recovery, cognition, inflammation, metabolic health, athletic performance, or longevity have a different and often more limited evidence base and should not be described as established equivalents.
HBOT can be used safely in appropriately selected patients with trained staff and a properly maintained chamber, but it is not risk-free. Risks include ear or sinus barotrauma, temporary vision changes, oxygen toxicity, pulmonary injury in susceptible patients, and rare but serious fire-related events. FDA has specifically reminded facilities to follow device instructions, fire-prevention procedures, staff training, and continuous supervision.
Session number should be tied to the indication and treatment protocol. Recognized medical conditions can require defined treatment courses; there is no universal evidence-based 5–20-session wellness package for every recovery or longevity goal.
The chamber is comfortable, well-lit, and climate controlled. Most patients relax or nap during treatment.
Cost depends on the medical indication, chamber protocol, session length, and number of treatments. Insurance coverage is indication-specific; elective wellness use may be cash-pay. AlyneMD reviews the proposed course and expected cost before treatment begins.
HBOT requires medical screening. Untreated pneumothorax is an absolute contraindication, and pulmonary disease, ear or sinus problems, certain medications, seizure risk, fever, and other factors may require additional evaluation or modification of treatment.
