# Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at Macy’s Panofficial
## What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. This therapy is designed to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood, which can promote healing and fight infections. At Macy’s Panofficial, we offer state-of-the-art HBOT services to help patients with various medical conditions.
## How Does HBOT Work?
During a session at Macy’s Panofficial, patients enter a hyperbaric chamber where the air pressure is increased to up to three times higher than normal. Under these conditions, the lungs can gather more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. The increased oxygen levels in the blood can help:
– Stimulate the release of growth factors and stem cells
– Reduce inflammation
– Enhance the body’s natural healing processes
– Fight certain types of infections
