A soft-chamber session lasts 60–90 minutes inside a pressurized inflatable tube (lying down), breathing oxygen through a mask. Pressure changes may cause temporary ear-popping — similar to airplane descent — which clears by swallowing or yawning. The experience is quiet and comfortable; most people read, rest, or listen to audio during the session.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure or high-concentration oxygen inside a pressurized chamber at atmospheric pressures above normal — typically 1.3–2.4 ATA (atmospheres absolute). Increased pressure dissolves significantly more oxygen into blood plasma than normal breathing allows, delivering oxygen to tissues at concentrations otherwise unachievable.
