I have been seeing Jane for several years for various treatments, including microblading, microneedling, facials, and most recently HBOT therapy. Jane consistently demonstrates professionalism, thoroughness, and exceptional attention to detail. I always feel completely safe and well cared for. Highly recommend.
At the start of the treatment session, oxygen immediately begins to flow, and the pressure is gradually increased. You will generally start to feel a fullness sensation in the ears, similar to ascending or descending in an airplane.
This fullness should only last about 10 minutes and our experienced Oxygen Therapy technician will guide you to relieve any ear pressure, usually by yawning or swallowing.
Once treatment pressure is reached, patients relax and just breathe normally. Near the end of the treatment session, the hyperbaric technician will gradually decrease the pressure in the chamber, a process that lasts about 10 minutes.
During this decompression stage, it is common for patients to experience a slight popping sensation in the ears as a result of the change in pressure.
HBOT is a therapy with minimal side effects and is extremely safe. The most common side effect (in 10% of patients) is mild irritation to the ears due to changes in oxygen pressure (the same risks associated with flying).
The technicians at Oxygen Room will be with you every step of the way to help prevent this from occurring, but it is advised that you don’t have therapy if you are suffering from a cold or other condition affecting your sinuses.
Other side effects may include temporary vision changes, worsening of cataract, dizziness, or light-headedness. In very rare instances, oxygen toxicity may occur, however, risk of this is mitigated by our HBOT protocols and comprehensive client screening process. A full medical history will be taken at your consultation where we can advise on side effects associated to you.
Many clients sleep, watch a movie on their phones or tablets. Read a book, catch up with your emails or work. Our favourite thing is to listen to motivational podcasts
Each of our facilities uses state-of-the-art Mono and Duo hyperbaric chambers. All our chambers are built to high standards by industry professionals. These chambers are made of metal and acrylic which differ from the soft or mild variety.
Our chambers deliver 96% medical grade oxygen vs. room air (which is only about 20% oxygen) and are able to reach greater atmospheric pressure levels. This allows for the treatment of a wider variety of health conditions more efficiently and effectively. Every 6 months our equipment is serviced by our chamber engineers.
It is important to know that Portable/Canvas bag chambers are also known as low-pressure. Fabric hyperbaric chambers are authorized by the FDA only for treatment of acute mountain sickness. Fabric inflatable chambers cannot achieve internal pressures over 1.5 atmospheres and cannot be run on a BIBs breathing system.
We recommend that patients avoid eating or drinking (specifically carbonated beverages) directly prior to treatment, unless medically required, to avoid the need to use the restroom or cause an upset stomach during the session.
Some medications are incompatible with HBOT; a complete list of medications and supplements taken by the patient should be provided to the Oxygen Therapy team during the initial consult, and updates should always be provided.
To maximize the benefit of HBOT, smoking of any kind should be avoided during the course of a patient’s complete treatment protocol. Smoking causes vasoconstriction and accumulation of carbon monoxide and other wastes, all which are counterproductive to HBOT.
Lastly, alcohol consumption should be avoided at least 8 hours prior to treatment.
There are a few contraindications to HBOT such as an untreated pneumothorax, moderate to severe COPD, bullous lung disease, and individuals currently receiving certain chemotherapeutic agents.
It shouldn't be used by people who have had recent ear surgery or injury, a cold or a fever.
During the consultation with a member of our Oxygen Therapy Team, each client is evaluated to determine whether HBOT is a safe and appropriate course of treatment.
Yes. Electrolysis is the only method approved by both the FDA and BMA as truly permanent. It works by inserting a fine probe into each hair follicle and delivering a small electrical current to destroy the growth centre. This prevents the hair from returning. Unlike other methods that only reduce hair temporarily, electrolysis targets individual follicles for permanent results. With consistent sessions, treated hairs are gone for good.
Yes, electrolysis is effective on every hair colour and all skin tones. Because it doesn’t rely on pigment (unlike laser), it can successfully treat blonde, red, grey, and white hairs that laser cannot. This makes it ideal for anyone who has lighter hair or darker skin. It's also safe for treating hormonal hair growth and small, sensitive areas like the face, making it a versatile option for all clients.
Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are necessary to treat all follicles effectively. On average, clients need regular treatments over 3–12 months, though results vary based on the area, hair density, and individual factors like hormones. Facial hair, especially in transgender clients, can require 250–400 hours for permanent removal. With consistent appointments, hair becomes finer and eventually stops growing entirely.
Most clients describe electrolysis as a mild sting or warming sensation, similar to a quick pinch. Sensitivity varies by area and individual, but discomfort is usually very manageable. We use advanced equipment and can adjust settings to suit your comfort level. Topical numbing cream can also be applied beforehand if needed. Treatments are brief, and any discomfort fades quickly after your session.
Electrolysis can be used on virtually any area of the body. Common treatment zones include the face (chin, upper lip, cheeks), underarms, bikini line, chest, abdomen, back, and fingers or toes. It's especially effective for small, sensitive areas where precision matters. It’s also widely used for gender-affirming care, including intimate areas. Every treatment is tailored to your needs, ensuring safety and accuracy throughout.
Downtime is minimal. After treatment, it’s normal to see slight redness or swelling, which typically fades within a few hours. You should avoid touching the area, heat exposure, or applying makeup for 24 hours. Keep the area clean and apply a soothing gel if needed. Avoid sun exposure and heavy sweating for a day or two. With proper aftercare, the skin heals quickly and is ready for your next session.
Yes, electrolysis is widely used for transgender clients seeking permanent hair removal, especially for facial and pre-surgical genital areas. It’s the only BMA-approved method for permanent removal and is often required before gender-affirming surgery. Our practitioner has years of NHS experience providing transgender electrolysis and offers respectful, tailored care in a safe, discreet environment.
After treatment, avoid touching the area, applying makeup, or using harsh products for at least 24 hours. Skip saunas, sunbeds, red light therapy and heavy workouts, as heat and sweat can irritate the skin. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid exfoliating until any redness or sensitivity has settled. Following these steps helps reduce the risk of irritation and promotes smooth healing.
Gently cleanse the area with cool water and avoid using fragranced or active skincare products for 24–48 hours. Applying a soothing, non-comedogenic gel or cream, like aloe vera or witch hazel, can help calm redness or swelling. Don’t pick or scratch the treated area, as this can lead to irritation or scarring. Let the skin heal naturally between sessions for the best results.
Yes, mild redness or swelling is completely normal and usually fades within a few hours. It’s a sign your skin is healing. You may also feel slight sensitivity or warmth in the area. Applying a cool compress can help reduce these symptoms. If irritation lasts longer than expected or worsens, contact your practitioner for guidance. With proper aftercare, your skin will recover quickly.
Yes, most people return to normal activities right away. However, it’s best to avoid things that heat or irritate the skin—like intense workouts, sun exposure, or hot showers for 24–48 hours. Keep the area clean, avoid makeup or skincare with active ingredients, and skip waxing or tweezing between sessions. A little care goes a long way in helping your skin stay healthy and smooth.
It’s important not to tweeze, wax, or thread between sessions, as these methods remove the hair from the root and can disrupt the electrolysis process. Instead, you can trim the hair with small scissors or shave the area if needed. Shaving leaves the follicle intact, allowing your electrologist to treat it properly in your next session. Always follow your practitioner’s guidance for the best long-term results.
Hair should be long enough for your electrologist to see and isolate each strand usually about 1–2 mm, similar to stubble. If it’s too short, it may be difficult to treat; too long, and it can be uncomfortable. Avoid waxing or plucking before your session, as the follicle must be intact. Shaving is fine, but allow a few days of growth before treatment so the hair is visible and treatable.
