Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Advanced Oxygen Therapy for Recovery, Wellness & Longevity — Led by a Board-Certified Specialist in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medically supervised treatment in which patients breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. By increasing atmospheric pressure above normal levels, the body's tissues absorb significantly higher concentrations of oxygen than is possible under ordinary conditions.

This oxygen-rich environment activates the body's natural healing mechanisms — accelerating tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and supporting cellular regeneration from within.

At Urgent Clinic in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, HBOT is the cornerstone of our medical practice. Every treatment is personally overseen by Dr. Lee Eui-seon, a board-certified emergency medicine physician and certified hyperbaric medicine specialist with decades of clinical experience at leading university hospitals across Korea.

Why Choose Urgent Clinic for HBOT in Seoul?

Not all hyperbaric oxygen therapy is equal. The expertise of the physician, the quality of the equipment, and the clinical protocols used make all the difference in outcomes.

Urgent Clinic was established with a singular focus: to deliver evidence-based, physician-led HBOT to patients seeking superior recovery and wellness results. Unlike wellness centers offering soft-chamber oxygen sessions, Urgent Clinic operates medical-grade hyperbaric chambers under full physician supervision — ensuring safety, precision, and clinically meaningful results.

Dr. Lee Eui-seon's credentials speak for themselves. As a former clinical assistant professor at Korea University Guro Hospital and former director of the Metropolitan Medical Team at the Ministry of Health and Welfare's COVID-19 Central Disaster Management Headquarters, Dr. Lee brings both academic rigor and frontline clinical expertise to every patient at Urgent Clinic.

Who Can Benefit from HBOT?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at Urgent Clinic is designed for a wide range of patients — from those recovering from surgery to individuals seeking proactive anti-aging and wellness solutions.

Post-Surgical & Post-Procedure Recovery

HBOT is one of the most effective tools for accelerating recovery after cosmetic surgery, orthopedic procedures, or other medical interventions. Increased oxygen delivery to surgical sites helps:

Reduce swelling and bruising
Minimize post-operative inflammation
Lower the risk of infection
Promote faster wound healing and tissue regeneration

Many patients traveling to Seoul for cosmetic or medical procedures choose Urgent Clinic specifically to optimize their recovery before returning home.

Anti-Aging & Skin Regeneration

HBOT stimulates collagen production and promotes cellular renewal, making it a powerful tool in evidence-based anti-aging medicine. Patients report improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall radiance following a course of treatment.

For deeper results, HBOT can be combined with IV antioxidant infusion therapy and TMS as part of our signature Anti-Aging Triple Therapy — a comprehensive, multi-layered rejuvenation program unique to Urgent Clinic.

Fatigue Recovery & Energy Restoration

Chronic fatigue and burnout deplete the body at a cellular level. HBOT delivers a measurable boost to cellular energy production by flooding tissues with oxygen at the mitochondrial level — helping patients feel restored, mentally sharper, and more resilient.

Immune System Support & General Wellness

Regular HBOT sessions support enhanced immune function and improved physiological resilience. At Urgent Clinic, each patient receives a personalized treatment schedule aligned with their specific health goals.

Sports Recovery & Performance Conditioning

Athletes and active individuals benefit from HBOT's ability to accelerate muscle recovery, reduce exercise-induced inflammation, and shorten downtime between training sessions — helping you stay consistently at your best.

What to Expect During Your HBOT Session

Step 1 — Initial Consultation with Dr. Lee Eui-seon

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Lee Eui-seon. Your medical history, current health condition, treatment goals, and any contraindications are thoroughly reviewed to ensure HBOT is the right fit for you.

Step 2 — Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your consultation, Dr. Lee designs a tailored HBOT protocol specific to your needs — including session duration, pressure level, and the recommended number of sessions to achieve optimal results.

Step 3 — Pre-Treatment Preparation

Before entering the chamber, our nursing team will brief you on the procedure, answer any questions, and prepare you for the session. If you are enrolled in our Anti-Aging Triple Therapy program, your IV antioxidant infusion pre-treatment will be administered at this stage.

Step 4 — Inside the Hyperbaric Chamber

You will relax comfortably inside one of our medical-grade hyperbaric chambers while breathing 100% pure oxygen. The session typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. The experience is calm, painless, and non-invasive — many patients rest or sleep during treatment.

Step 5 — Continuous Monitoring by Clinical Staff

Throughout your entire session, our experienced registered nursing team monitors your comfort, safety, and physiological response. Urgent Clinic's staff are all trained with backgrounds from major university hospitals, ensuring the highest level of clinical oversight.

Step 6 — Post-Session Review

After each session, your response to treatment is assessed. Dr. Lee Eui-seon or a member of the clinical team will discuss your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure you are on track toward your recovery and wellness goals.
