Hyperbaric chamber in Malaga – Blue Wellness
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy guided by a specialist physician.
In the hyperbaric chamber unit of Blue Wellness Malaga, you breathe high concentration oxygen in a pressurized environment, with the aim of promoting tissue oxygenation.
This technique belongs to hyperbaric medicine, a growing branch that has well-defined indications and scientific backing.
At our center, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is always applied under the evaluation of a specialized doctor, respecting the pressure, duration and number of sessions recommended for each case.
Our purpose is for you to understand what the camera actually does, when it makes sense to use it, and how it can be integrated into your care responsibly and safely.
What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy and how does it work in your body?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy consists of breathing oxygen at a high concentration inside a hyperbaric chamber, where the pressure is higher than atmospheric pressure.
By increasing this pressure, the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma increases, allowing it to reach tissues with poorer circulation or higher demand more effectively.
This phenomenon is explained by Henry's law, and in practice it translates into a state of hyperoxia that can support recovery, healing, and normalization of cellular metabolism.
At Blue Wellness we don't use the camera "just because": we assess your case, your previous pathologies, medication and objectives before recommending it.
Our approach is clear: HBOT is a useful tool, but with specific indications and limits that we always respect.
The hyperbaric chamber at Blue Wellness – Technology and comfort
Our single-person hyperbaric chamber is designed to offer you safety and comfort throughout the entire session.
You lie down in a spacious and bright individual compartment, while the system regulates the pressure and oxygen delivery according to the established protocol.
To make the time more enjoyable, you can watch a TV screen with online content, making the experience more bearable.
Before you enter, we explain what sensations you may notice (such as pressure in the ears) and how to compensate for them, just like on an airplane.
Our team accompanies you at all times, supervising the session and ensuring that you feel calm, informed and in good hands.
Indications and clinical uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy
The indications for hyperbaric medicine are defined by societies such as the UHMS and European committees of hyperbaric medicine.
These include cases such as carbon monoxide poisoning, some forms of decompression sickness, gas embolism, severe infections, complex wounds, or certain radiation injuries.
In other contexts, HBOT may be recommended as support, for example, in some diabetic foot lesions, compromised grafts, or ischemic ulcers.
At Blue Wellness we review your individual situation, medical reports and goals before proposing a treatment.
If we don't think the camera makes sense in your case, we'll tell you honestly: we prefer to build long-term trust rather than create unrealistic expectations.
Benefits and contraindications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Among the potential benefits of the hyperbaric chamber are increased tissue oxygenation, support for healing, a possible anti-inflammatory effect, and assistance in the recovery of damaged tissues.
However, there are also contraindications that we must respect, such as pneumothorax, certain recent thoracic surgeries, seizures, fever without a clear cause, significant ear problems, pregnancy, or the use of some specific drugs.
Therefore, before starting, our specialist doctor performs a clinical assessment and reviews your history and medication.
If we find any reason not to perform the treatment, we will explain it to you and look for alternatives.
Safety is always the priority, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy should be understood as a serious medical tool, not as an uncontrolled fad.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and general well-being
Beyond clinical indications, many people are interested in the hyperbaric chamber as support for their general well-being, daily energy, or recovery after intense exertion.
The increase in available oxygen can facilitate certain regeneration and repair processes, which some people perceive as an improvement in vitality, rest, or a feeling of recovery.
At Blue Wellness we always differentiate between medical use and wellness use, clearly explaining what is known and what is not known in each case.
If you want to use HBOT to support your performance, sports recovery or aesthetic care, we will assess it with you, reviewing your general condition and your expectations.
Our goal is that, if you decide to try hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Malaga, you do so with all the information and from a responsible and realistic approach.
