Frequently Asked Questions

HBOT increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood and delivered to tissues throughout the body. Depending on the condition being treated, HBOT may help:

• Increase oxygen delivery to tissues (Hyperoxygenation)
• Support the formation of new blood vessels in damaged tissues (Angiogenesis)
• Reduce swelling and inflammation
• Support the body's natural healing processes
• Enhance the ability of white blood cells to help fight certain infections

Benefits vary depending on the individual, medical condition, and treatment plan.

Medical-grade HBOT may benefit individuals with certain medical conditions, healing challenges, recovery needs, or physician-recommended treatment plans.

Established indications include selected cases of radiation injury, diabetic and slow-healing wounds, compromised grafts and flaps, and other recognized conditions. HBOT may also be considered as part of a broader recovery or wellness program when medically appropriate.

See our full list of indications →

HBOT may not be suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, medications, lung conditions, ear or sinus disorders, and other health factors may affect treatment eligibility.

All patients undergo physician screening prior to treatment to help ensure HBOT is safe and appropriate for their individual situation.

HBOT is generally well tolerated when administered under proper medical supervision.

The most common side effects include temporary ear pressure or ear discomfort, similar to the sensation experienced during air travel. Some individuals may also experience temporary changes in vision that typically resolve after treatment is completed.

More serious complications are rare. Your physician and hyperbaric team will review your medical history and discuss any potential risks before treatment.

All HBOT patients must undergo medical screening and physician clearance before beginning treatment.

You may either:

• Present a referral and medical clearance from your attending physician; or
• Schedule an evaluation with our in-house physician.

To facilitate assessment, we recommend bringing the following completed within the last three (3) months:

• Chest X-ray (PA View)
• Complete Blood Count (CBC)
• Blood Chemistry
• 12-Lead ECG

You may also bring any previous laboratory results, imaging studies, medical records, or physician referrals relevant to your condition.

Depending on your medical history, condition, or physician assessment, additional laboratory tests, imaging studies, specialist clearances, or medical evaluations may be required prior to treatment.

Most HBOT sessions last approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the treatment protocol prescribed by your physician.

Additional time is required before and after treatment for registration, preparation, chamber entry, pressurization, depressurization, and post-treatment procedures.

We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment.

Response to HBOT varies depending on the condition being treated, overall health status, and treatment plan.

Some individuals report improvements in energy, recovery, or symptom relief within the first few sessions, while others experience more gradual changes over time. For many conditions, the benefits of HBOT are cumulative and are best achieved through a consistent treatment program recommended by your physician.

We offer a range of single-session and multi-session HBOT programs designed to support different medical, recovery, and wellness goals. The recommended number of sessions varies depending on the individual and the condition being addressed.

To ensure that each patient receives the most appropriate treatment plan, package recommendations are discussed following consultation and medical assessment. Please contact our team for current package options and pricing.

PHRC provides physician-guided, medical-grade Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber operated by Certified Hyperbaric Technicians (CHTs).

From physician assessment to treatment delivery, every step of the HBOT process is conducted within a medically supervised environment focused on safety, comfort, and quality care.

Medical acupuncture is the modern, evidence-informed application of acupuncture performed by trained physicians or licensed acupuncturists. At PHRC, acupuncture is used to relieve pain, regulate the nervous system, and support whole-body healing.

Acupuncture has been shown to benefit a wide range of conditions, including:

• Chronic and acute pain (e.g. back pain, migraine, joint pain)
• Stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances
• Hormonal imbalances and fertility support
• Fatigue
• Post-surgical recovery

Each session is tailored to your individual health goals following a comprehensive consultation. Cosmetic acupuncture focuses on facial rejuvenation and skin vitality.

Cosmetic acupuncture is ideal for individuals seeking a natural approach to facial rejuvenation. It may support skin vitality, circulation, and overall facial appearance without surgery or injectables.

Yes, acupuncture at PHRC is safe as it is performed under proper clinical standards. Treatments are:

• Clinically guided — aligned with a structured, doctor-led care approach
• Performed by trained practitioners using sterile, single-use needles
• Delivered in a controlled medical setting with strict hygiene and safety protocols

As with any medical or therapeutic procedure, a proper assessment is done first to ensure acupuncture is appropriate for you.

Many people seek acupuncture for concerns such as stress, fatigue, poor sleep, tension, or general imbalance. Acupuncture may help support overall well-being and quality of life as part of a comprehensive care plan.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and sessions are generally well tolerated. Sensations may include a gentle tingling, warmth, or heaviness at the needle sites — often described as relaxing.

Acupuncture needles are extremely thin — much finer than hypodermic needles — and most clients feel minimal to no discomfort. Many describe sessions as relaxing.

Many first-time clients are surprised by how comfortable acupuncture feels. The needles used are extremely fine and significantly different from injection needles. Our practitioners take time to ensure you feel at ease throughout the session.

A typical medical acupuncture session is about 20 minutes, but treatment can last longer depending on your condition and goals. Cosmetic Acupuncture can last much longer — up to a few hours.

Results vary depending on your condition and the complaint being treated. Some clients notice improvement after just 1–2 sessions, while others benefit from a series of 6–10 sessions or longer for sustained results.

Results improve over a series. Treatment frequency depends on your condition and treatment plan, which will be discussed during your consultation.

Yes, many clients combine acupuncture with HBOT and other treatments. PHRC offers bespoke wellness packages that integrate medical-grade HBOT, Nutrition planning, and IV nutrient therapy.

Our dermatology services may assist in the assessment and management of concerns such as:

• Acne and acne scars
• Pigmentation and melasma
• Hair thinning and hair loss
• Sensitive skin
• Aging skin
• Uneven skin tone and enlarged pores

Depending on the type and severity of scarring, treatments such as microneedling, dermal stamping, PRP, and medical skincare programs may help improve skin texture and appearance.

Hair loss can result from genetics, hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, medical conditions, or aging. A proper assessment by a dermatology physician is important to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Yes. A consultation with a dermatology physician is essential to properly assess your condition and determine the most appropriate skin and hair management plan.

No. After a thorough assessment by a dermatology physician, treatment plans are individualized based on each patient's condition, skin type, and overall assessment.

A guided, personalized pathway to skin health and regeneration:

• Consultation — A comprehensive evaluation by a dermatology physician of your skin, hair, or scalp concerns, including medical history and current condition.
• Personalized Plan — A tailored program designed based on your condition, goals, and overall health, focused on safe, evidence-based care.

Some treatments provide gradual improvement over time, while others may show earlier visible effects. Expectations will be guided during consultation.

PHRC combines physician-guided dermatologic care with regenerative, nutritional, and wellness support to address both the surface and underlying factors affecting skin and hair health.

IV drip or Intravenous drip is a procedure used to administer nutrient-rich fluids, or medication, directly to the bloodstream, allowing for controlled dosing and rapid absorption. Nutrients bypass the digestive system for faster and better absorption than oral supplements.

IV Nutrient Therapy is commonly chosen by individuals seeking support for recovery, hydration, wellness, immune support, athletic recovery, travel fatigue, or beauty and skin wellness programs. Other cocktails available at PHRC:

• Myers' Cocktail — Energy & Wellness
• NAD+ — Longevity & Brain
• L-Carnitine — Performance & Fat Loss
• High-Dose Vitamin C — Immunity & Recovery

Yes, IV Nutrient Therapy at PHRC is safe as it is administered under proper clinical standards. Treatments are:

• Clinically guided — part of a structured, doctor-led approach to care
• Administered by trained medical professionals using sterile equipment
• Personalized based on your health profile, goals, and clinical assessment

Most patients tolerate IV therapy well, with sessions conducted in a monitored, medical environment. A pre-treatment assessment and physician clearance are done to ensure the therapy is appropriate for you.

No. IV therapy complements — not replaces — healthy nutrition, exercise, sleep, and other healthy lifestyle habits.

Our physician first assesses and recommends the best suitable IV Nutrient Drip treatment for you. The IV is administered into your arm and you will be regularly monitored throughout the session. Treatments are done in our cozy IV Drip space — take a nap, read, or watch a movie.

Depending on the IV cocktail therapy of choice, a session may take from 30 minutes to an hour. With certain IV Drips it can take a couple of hours longer.

Not always. However, depending on your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals, additional evaluation may be recommended by our physician before starting therapy.

Treatment frequency varies depending on the type of IV therapy, your goals, and your physician's recommendation. Some individuals benefit from weekly sessions, while others may have monthly maintenance treatments.

Many clients feel benefits within hours to a few sessions, especially in energy and recovery. Results improve with consistency and when integrated with a comprehensive care plan.

Depends on your goals. Single sessions help, but programs deliver better results.

Yes. IV therapy works best when combined with medical-grade HBOT, nutrition, and other regenerative therapies for maximum benefit.

The main difference is the method of delivery. Through IV Nutrient Therapy, the active ingredients are injected directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption. Food supplements are taken orally and must go through the digestive process before being absorbed.

• High-Dose Vitamin C — commonly used in physician-guided wellness and recovery programs; may support antioxidant activity, immune function, and recovery
• L-Carnitine — commonly included in programs focused on energy metabolism, active lifestyles, fitness goals, and performance
• Myers' Cocktail — one of the most common and sought-after IV therapies; can boost immunity, relieve stress and fatigue
• Revitalizing Drip — for glowing, healthy-looking skin with anti-aging effects
• NAD+ — a coenzyme present in every cell; serves a crucial role in energy metabolism and cellular health

NAD+ drip therapy is usually administered as a short-term treatment. It starts with weekly treatment with gradual increases in dose, then tapers to monthly maintenance sessions.

NAD+ drip is generally well-tolerated at the right dosage and protocol. Side effects may include nausea, headache, fatigue, gastrointestinal discomfort, and palpitation, but are usually mild and transient. Physician assessment is required before starting.

Yes. We offer IV Nutrient cocktail therapy for health, wellness, sports, and beauty as well as specialized IV therapies. Please contact us for current pricing and package details.

Not always. Many of our self-care services, such as facials and diode laser hair removal, can be booked directly if you are generally healthy and meet the treatment requirements.

For more advanced or technical procedures, a consultation may be recommended or required to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your needs and goals.

If you're unsure which service is right for you, our team will be happy to guide you.

The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment, your goals, and your individual response. Some treatments may show visible improvements after one session, while others typically require a series of treatments for optimal results.

Diode Laser Hair Removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated light energy to target hair follicles, helping reduce unwanted hair growth over time.

Common treatment areas include:

• Underarms
• Upper lip
• Chin
• Face
• Arms
• Legs
• Bikini area
• Brazilian area
• Back
• Chest

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. While many treated hairs may not grow back, some maintenance sessions may be needed over time.

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warming feeling. Our modern diode laser systems include cooling features to enhance comfort during treatment.

Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are usually recommended. Most clients require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to target hairs during their active growth phase.

• Avoid waxing, plucking, threading, or using depilatory creams for at least 2–4 weeks before treatment.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure on the treatment area.
• Inform our team of any medications, skin conditions, or recent treatments.
• No need to worry about shaving beforehand — our team can prepare the treatment area prior to your session if needed.

Our modern diode laser system can safely treat a wide range of skin types. Our team will assess your skin and hair characteristics to determine suitability.

Diode Laser is designed specifically for permanent hair reduction and does not directly treat chicken skin (keratosis pilaris). However, many clients notice smoother skin over time as ingrown hairs — which can cause bumps that look similar to chicken skin — are gradually eliminated.

For targeted treatment of rough, bumpy skin texture and open pores, we recommend our Pico Regen Laser. Our team will assess your skin during your consultation to recommend the best treatment plan for you.

Diode Laser is a hair removal treatment and is not designed to whiten the skin. However, our machine also features a whitening function that clients often notice their underarms appear gradually lighter over multiple sessions, as dark and coarse hair is progressively reduced.

For dedicated underarm whitening, we recommend our Pico Regen Laser Treatment, which targets uneven skin tone and discoloration. Many clients choose to combine both treatments for hair-free and brighter underarms.

Pico Regen Laser is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses ultra-short pulses of energy to target unwanted pigmentation and promote a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

Depending on individual assessment, Pico Laser treatments may help improve the appearance of:

• Uneven skin tone
• Sun spots
• Age spots
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation
• Acne marks
• Dull-looking skin
• Unwanted tattoos

Results vary from person to person.

When performed by trained professionals on appropriate candidates, Pico Laser treatments are generally considered safe and well tolerated.

Most patients experience mild discomfort, often described as a quick snapping sensation. The treatment is generally well tolerated.

The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns, skin type, and treatment goals. Some individuals notice improvements after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments.

Most patients experience minimal downtime. Temporary redness, mild swelling, or slight sensitivity may occur and usually resolve within a few days.

After treatment, it is important to:

• Wear sunscreen daily
• Avoid excessive sun exposure
• Keep the skin hydrated

Proper aftercare helps support the best possible results.

We offer Pico Regen Laser, a non-invasive laser treatment that brightens skin tone and addresses uneven complexion. A minimum of 6 sessions is recommended, with monthly maintenance sessions to sustain results.

Exi Lift is our non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) treatment for skin tightening and body contouring. By delivering controlled RF energy to targeted tissues, it is designed to support firmer, smoother-looking skin, improve the appearance of skin laxity, and promote natural collagen remodeling with minimal downtime. Exi Lift can be used for facial skin tightening as well as body contouring and skin tightening on various areas of the body.

Exi Lift may be used on areas such as the:

• Face
• Jawline
• Neck
• Abdomen
• Arms
• Thighs
• Other areas with mild to moderate skin laxity

Treatment suitability depends on individual assessment.

The treatment delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to targeted tissues, generating therapeutic heat that stimulates the body's natural collagen remodeling process. This may help improve skin firmness and elasticity over time.

Most clients find the treatment comfortable and describe it as a warm, relaxing sensation. The treatment is non-invasive and typically does not require anesthesia or downtime.

The number of sessions varies depending on your goals, the treatment area, and your body's response. Many clients benefit from a series of treatments for optimal results.

Some clients notice improvements shortly after treatment, while others see gradual changes over the following weeks and months as collagen remodeling occurs. Individual results vary.

Exi Lift generally requires little to no downtime. Most clients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Yes. Exi Lift is a non-invasive treatment performed using professional-grade equipment and established protocols by trained professionals. A consultation may be recommended to determine if the treatment is suitable for your needs.

Exi Lift may help improve the appearance of mild to moderate skin laxity associated with aging or weight changes. Results vary depending on factors such as skin quality, age, and treatment goals.

In many cases, yes. Exi Lift may be combined with other wellness or aesthetic treatments as part of a personalized treatment plan. Our team can recommend the most appropriate options based on your goals.

Facials help cleanse, exfoliate, and refresh the skin while supporting overall skin health and maintenance.

Many clients choose treatments every 3 to 4 weeks as part of their self-care routine.

Many facial treatments can be customized for sensitive skin. A consultation helps determine the most appropriate option for you.

Avoid washing your face after 8 hours, direct sun exposure, active exfoliants, makeup, and excessive heat (saunas or steam) for 24–48 hours. Our team will provide personalized aftercare.

In many cases, yes. Our team can recommend a treatment plan based on your goals, schedule, and suitability.

Walk-ins may be accommodated depending on availability, but appointments are highly recommended.

Our healthcare professionals can help assess your concerns and recommend the most appropriate treatment options during your consultation.

Absolutely! Many of our facials can be safely adjusted for expectant or breastfeeding mothers. We avoid contraindicated ingredients, UV light, laser, and ensure each session is both safe and restorative. Please inform your therapist during consultation.

Typically between 60 to 90 minutes depending on the treatment.
