Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Dallas
Pressurized, oxygen-rich therapy that supports your body's healing: from post-surgical recovery to sports injuries, performance, and chronic conditions. In-clinic sessions and in-home chamber rental available.
How It Works
More Oxygen, Delivered Under Pressure
Our mild hyperbaric program uses an FDA-cleared soft-shell chamber run at 1.3 ATA. The chamber is filled with compressed air, never oxygen, and you breathe concentrated oxygen from a prescription-grade concentrator through a non-rebreather mask. Sessions are overseen by Dr. Lovelace, who is certified through the International Board of Undersea Medicine (IBUM) in hyperbaric safety and protocol development. The added pressure and concentrated oxygen increase the oxygen dissolved in your blood plasma.
It's a controlled approach with clear safety protocols, not a guess, not a gimmick.
We chose our chamber for its safety features, and it has gone through FDA 510(k) clearance (K072757). FDA clearance applies to the chamber itself; using it for post-surgical, sports, concussion, or other recovery is off-label, meaning outside the specific indication FDA reviewed. Individual results vary. See how mild and hospital HBOT differ →

In Home Chamber Rental
Need ongoing sessions without the commute? We deliver, set up, and support a portable hyperbaric chamber rental for Dallas-area patients.
Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is linked to a wide range of joint and pain conditions. HBOT delivers oxygen-rich plasma throughout the body to help calm inflammation and ease related pain.
Chronic Fatigue
For patients dealing with persistent, unexplained fatigue, HBOT has been studied for its potential to improve sleep quality, mental clarity, and day-to-day energy.
Anti-Aging & Wellness
Many patients use HBOT as part of a broader wellness routine, supporting tissue and blood vessel regeneration, collagen activation, and overall cellular health.
Exploring Other Conditions?
Research on hyperbaric oxygen therapy spans far beyond these, including autoimmune support and more. See the full list of researched indications from the International Hyperbaric Association.
View Indications (opens in a new tab)Uses beyond FDA-cleared indications (including TBI, inflammation, chronic fatigue, and anti-aging) are supported by a growing body of research but are considered off-label. HBOT is offered as a complementary option, not a replacement for care from your physician or specialist.
Post-Surgical & Cosmetic Recovery
HBOT for Post-Surgical & Cosmetic Surgery Recovery in Dallas
Surgery and cosmetic procedures put real stress on tissue. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the oxygen available to healing tissue, which is why it is studied for swelling, tissue repair, and recovery after surgery. We use it off-label as a complement to your surgeon's plan, never a replacement.
Every protocol is overseen directly by Dr. Lovelace, certified through the International Board of Undersea Medicine (IBUM), not a technician following a generic checklist.
Dr. Lovelace works directly with patients, and when helpful, their surgical teams, to build a session schedule around the procedure, the surgeon's timeline, and the patient's healing progress. It's a dedicated protocol built for real partnership with Dallas plastic surgeons and their patients.

Your HBOT Process
What to Expect During Your HBOT Process
1. Consultation
We review your procedure, timeline, and health history to build a session plan around your recovery goals.
2. Chamber Session
70 minutes total, including a full 60 minutes at treatment pressure; we don't start the clock early like some clinics do.
3. Recovery Timeline
Many patients notice reduced swelling and improved comfort within the first few sessions, with cumulative benefit over your full protocol.
During Your Session
Most patients relax, rest, or nap while the chamber is at pressure. You're welcome to bring a book; you're comfortable and monitored by Dr. Lovelace the entire time.
After Your Session
There's no downtime. You can resume normal activity, including driving, right away. Many patients notice an increase in energy, especially after their first session.

The Research Behind HBOT
What the Research Says
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a growing body of published research behind it, spanning exactly the areas we treat most:
- Post-surgical & cosmetic recovery: early research on healing time, infection, and tissue survival in reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.
- Sports injury & performance: studies on accelerated recovery from sprains, tears, and fractures, plus effects on mitochondrial function and athletic performance.
- Concussion & brain injury recovery: research on reduced neuroinflammation, improved cognitive performance, and faster recovery from post-concussive symptoms.
This research is curated and regularly updated by the International Hyperbaric Association (IHA), a nonprofit dedicated to hyperbaric education. See the full body of research (opens in a new tab) →
Many of these studies reflect off-label use; results vary by individual, and HBOT is not a replacement for care from your surgeon or physician.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Patients Ask Before Their First Session
Patient safety is our top priority. Here is how we approach it:
- We use an FDA-cleared hyperbaric chamber that is filled with compressed air, never oxygen. Oxygen is delivered only through a mask.
- Every session is overseen by Dr. Lovelace, certified through the International Board of Undersea Medicine (IBUM) in hyperbaric safety and protocol development
We chose our chamber for its safety features, and it has gone through FDA 510(k) clearance (K072757). Our post-surgical and sports recovery uses are off-label.
Read our full guide on what to ask any HBOT clinic before booking →
No. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is well-tolerated, especially at our mild 1.3 ATA pressure. On occasion, a patient may notice slight ear or sinus pressure, similar to a flight taking off or landing, and Dr. Lovelace walks you through simple equalization techniques if that happens.
It depends on what you're treating. For acute conditions, patients can often start to see results within 5-10 sessions, the range typically recommended for post-surgical patients, depending on their procedure. Chronic or performance-focused patients may use a longer, lower-frequency protocol. Read more about post-surgical HBOT sessions →
Hard shell hospital chambers typically run at about 2.0 to 3.0 ATA and are the standard setting for the conditions with the strongest evidence. Our soft shell chamber runs at 1.3 ATA, and research on mild pressure is growing. We use it off-label as a complementary option and refer you out to a hospital chamber when a condition needs higher pressure. Read how chamber setups differ →
A single in-clinic HBOT session is $100. A 5-session package is $425 ($85 per session) and a 10-session package is $800 ($80 per session). In-home chamber rental is $2,000 for 30 days or $3,000 for 45 days. We're a cash-pay, direct-access practice with no insurance billing. See the full pricing above →
We're a cash-pay, direct-access practice, so we don't bill insurance. You can pay with an HSA or FSA card, and we'll give you a superbill, an itemized statement of your treatments, whenever you ask. Whether to use your HSA or FSA is up to you, and your plan administrator can tell you what your plan covers.
Timing depends on your procedure and your surgeon's guidance. Many patients begin within the first days after surgery once cleared. We coordinate directly with your surgical team when needed.
Yes. We offer in-home hyperbaric chamber rental servicing the DFW metroplex, ideal for patients on larger treatment protocols, post-surgical patients who benefit from daily sessions, or anyone with a busy schedule who can't commute to the clinic every time.
Dr. Lovelace delivers and sets up the portable chamber, walks you through how to use it safely, and stays available for support throughout your rental period, so you get the same effective HBOT treatment from the comfort of home.
In-home rental is $2,000 for 30 days or $3,000 for 45 days. Delivery and pickup are included, and you get the same chamber, concentrator, and mask we use in the clinic.
Before we schedule a delivery, every renter has a discovery call with Dr. Lovelace. He asks about your goals and why you want a rental, and he screens for contraindications and red flags, the same way he does for clinic patients. After delivery, you can call or text him with questions. He checks in after your first day and again several days later, once you've done a few sessions.
If you want to extend, give us advance notice and we'll do it as the schedule allows. You're responsible for any damage to the chamber or other rented equipment.
Research has reported improved scar appearance with hyperbaric oxygen, including its role in collagen production and tissue oxygenation. We use mild HBOT as a complement to your doctor's plan to support the healing process.
Many patients experience reduced swelling, bruising, and discomfort with HBOT, which can help you return to daily activities sooner. Changes in swelling and bruising often show up within several sessions, and some patients notice a difference from the start of their sessions to the end.
After surgery, 5 or 10 sessions are the most common protocols, but your surgeon or doctor weighs several variables when recommending one, so your exact timeline depends on your procedure and your surgeon's guidance. Results vary from person to person.
They do different jobs, and they can work together. A compression garment supports tissue and helps control swelling from the outside. Lymphatic massage is gentle, hands-on work that helps move fluid through the body. Hyperbaric oxygen does its work in your blood: the added pressure and concentrated oxygen raise the oxygen dissolved in your plasma, so healing tissue has more to work with.
We use it off-label, alongside your surgeon's plan, never in place of it. We don't do lymphatic massage here. We refer you to massage therapists we work with, and we plan your sessions around what your surgeon recommends for garments and massage.
Yes. Surgical procedures are often scheduled later in the week, so getting started right away matters. We build your schedule around your surgery date so the days in your protocol stay consecutive. Call (214) 536-2423 and we'll go over your options.
