Under Pressure Hyperbarics - Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

I recently had the opportunity to experience hyperbaric oxygen therapy at Under Pressure Hyperbarics, and I cannot express enough how positive my experience was. Following a medical procedure, I was feeling quite anxious, especially because I have a fear of small spaces. However, my technician, Frank, was absolutely incredible. From the moment I arrived, he made it his mission to ensure I felt comfortable and secure throughout the entire process. Frank's calming demeanor and reassuring presence really helped me overcome my fears. He took the time to explain everything to me and answered all my questions, which put my mind at ease. The therapy itself was surprisingly enjoyable! I found myself immersed in a relaxing environment, complete with a TV to keep me entertained. The benefits I experienced were remarkable. Not only did I notice improvements in my hair, nails, and skin, but my sleep quality also greatly improved, and I felt a significant reduction in my depression. On top of that, my inflammation levels decreased, and my wound care was noticeably enhanced. I wholeheartedly recommend Under Pressure Hyperbarics and urge anyone considering hyperbaric oxygen therapy to give it a try—especially if you have any reservations. Trust me, you will be in great hands with Frank! He truly makes the experience not only bearable but enjoyable. Thank you, Under Pressure, for such a wonderful experience!

Under Pressure is a god send. My surgeon recommended HBOT after surgery, and I was unfamiliar and frankly skeptical of this treatment and the price. But after one treatment I was walking around and my swelling/bruising was minimal. After 5 treatments my incisions were completely closed and the wounds were quickly healing. The staff was really kind and helpful. I am only 1 week post op and am feeling great. I will definitely book additional sessions. Talk to Nicole, she is very knowledgable and honest about HBOT.

This is the go to place for hyperbarics treatment! Like real medical hyperbarics! My doctor recommended me to go to Under Pressure in Beverly Hills and I never looked back. After my 20 treatments I was like a new person! More alive and energetic. After my breast cancer, I was hoping for alternative healing and this was amazing. Thank you to the wonderful team. I will be sure to recommend you guys!

UPDATE: 6/19/24 3pm I was literally charged without my consent after explaining I needed to shift my appointment due to an emergency appointment with my surgeon. This is the worst, most unpleasant overall experience I’ve had with a “medical” provider in LA. I’ve called multiple times and no one knows what is going on. It’s like “who’s on first.” One star. If I could, I’d give zero. 6/19/24 1pm I’ve given this a shot. It’s really expensive and not the most pleasant experience. Being locked in a tube for 90 minutes is one thing — at times I’ve felt what I can only describe as “needles” on my skin. Apparently this is a reaction to oils (?) which can combust in the locked chamber. That entire idea is unsettling. Very unsettling. I tried this after a fat grafting hoping to greatly reduce the recovery period. To be honest — I don’t think it made a difference. At all. None. After two weeks, an employee commented that I’m moving around a lot better in his opinion, which is true. But I had the exact same operation last year without HBOT and was literally in the same place at the same 2 week post-operative place. I just went in yesterday and asked when I would see noticeable results. Angie and Frank — both incredibly nice— explained it’s a “the more frequently you do it the more you see results” kind of thing. I was strongly considering going for the 10 pack (roughly $6k) after speaking with Angie. To this point, I’ve found some staff — Kacey, Frank, Angie, Nicole — to be very pleasant. Others have been far more challenging (see below). I had my surgeon change plans on me today and due to being across town and in my Dr’s office, I cancelled an appointment I simply couldn’t get to on time. I was told I was going to be charged a $550. I called this morning to warn that I was going to be at my Dr’s and that I’d try to get there by 3pm, of course dependent upon my Dr’s schedule and traffic. No mention of a 24-hr cancellation policy or potential charge. Honestly, the person on the phone I just spoke with was combative and unpleasant. All and all, I don’t see the benefit and though I was really hoping to report differently, I ultimately side with my surgeon and see this as a complete waste of money and time. Take your chances and see if you encounter a pleasant employee. It’s a crab shoot. Good luck to you! If you have thousands of dollars to waste, it could be the right option for you. Three stars for the accommodating employees. UPDATE FROM ORIGINAL POST… Apparently I originally spoke to a new employee who was not familiar with the process. Co-owner Nicole just reached out personally to explain all about the benefits and risks of using the chamber. She took a ton of time to answer my questions. She was able to do the consult and approve me for treatments!! I’m so excited to have this opportunity and I feel 100% confident this will truncate my healing time, help heal my body and get me the absolute best results from surgery. Thank you to Nicole for being a passionate business owner and following up personally on your off hours. I beyond appreciate you and know I’ll be in exceptional hands! Really disappointed. I had a lengthy discussion with intake, provided all of my information & never heard back. I followed up after a long weekend & I was told there was no way to schedule an initial consult before my surgery. I already submitted to insurance, as I was told prior. Now I’m left looking for other options less than a week before surgery!

I had gone to 2 different doctors and promised myself I would go to 3 before choosing my plastic surgeon, I went to 3 and Dr. Som was just different! This was my first surgery and I wanted to make it right, it is something serious so I had to trust my surgeon and he has the best bedside manner and is very honest about what I need. My procedure for liposuction went really well and I am happy, really happy with the results! Thank you Dr. Som and team!!!
