At a cellular level, hallmarks of aging include shortening telomere length and accumulation of senescent cells. A new study shows that regular exposure to hyperbaric chambers may reverse these two processes and allow healthy cells to continue their operations for extended periods.
Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Shamir Medical Center discovered that hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly extended telomere length while decreasing senescent cells in 35 healthy aging adults, according to research published in Aging journal.
Boosts Immune System
Age can cause our immune systems to weaken over time. Hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy offers one way of strengthening them: providing high concentration oxygen to all the tissues and cells throughout your body directly through hyperbaric chamber therapy sessions. By increasing supply to three times more of it than would normally be available during an ordinary session, hyperbaric chamber sessions help strengthen natural defenses while strengthening white blood cell immunity against disease.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen for 90 to 120 minutes in a pressurized chamber, typically for 90 to 120 minutes. This treatment method has proven safe, noninvasive and medically effective against numerous health issues that result in poor circulation or tissue damage; furthermore it may even have anti-aging and wellness benefits.
Studies have demonstrated that regular HBOT sessions can effectively slow, stop, or reverse the normal aging process at a cellular level by reversing shortening of our telomeres (the ends of chromosomes). HBOT can also help reduce oxidative stress associated with aging that leads to brain damage and neurodegeneration.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can also significantly improve cardiovascular health by increasing the number of new blood vessels that form within your body. This effect occurs due to hyperbaric oxygen chamber’s increased oxygen availability in blood, stimulating your innate body repair mechanisms to regenerate and repair itself more easily – this has a tremendously positive impact on overall body health and wellbeing; with age comes reduced ability of our bodies to heal themselves, leading to fatigue, joint pain and other symptoms – but hyperbaric oxygen therapy can unlock this natural healing power to prevent and treat these symptoms to restore healthiness within yourself – leading back to youthful healthiness within.
Reduces Inflammation
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been utilized since the 1940s for treating wounds that won’t heal, gangrene, carbon monoxide poisoning, crush injuries and infections that lack oxygen. When treated in a hyperbaric chamber, you breathe medical-grade oxygen at air pressure up to three times higher than sea level which saturates your blood with pure oxygen allowing faster tissue healing. Furthermore, hyperbaric therapy increases collagen production which in turn reduces fine lines and wrinkles, increases skin elasticity and creates younger-looking skin!
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy not only improves beauty and slows biological aging, but it can also reduce inflammation by improving circulation and stimulating new blood vessel growth to feed cells in your body. Furthermore, this therapy decreases expression of pro-inflammatory genes while simultaneously encouraging healthy cells to reproduce faster resulting in decreased pain and stiffness, improved cognitive function and more energy.
Scientists have recently made the revolutionary discovery that hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) can reverse aging at the cellular level by lengthening telomeres and eliminating malfunctioning cells, especially for people suffering chronic illnesses such as heart disease, stroke or Alzheimer’s. A recent clinical trial with 35 healthy participants aged 64 or older receiving 60 sessions over 90 days revealed that HBOT significantly extended telomeres while eliminating senescent cells – both benefits having significant potential impact.
Researchers examined immune cells containing DNA obtained from participants’ blood before, during, and after hyperbaric oxygen treatment sessions to measure any possible changes to telomere length and reduce senescent cell counts by up to 38% and 37%, respectively. This research project formed part of an Israeli initiative exploring reverse aging at a cellular level.
Cerulean De-Aging and Anti-Aging programs focus on the reversal of telomere shortening and elimination of senescent cells as cornerstones for successful health, with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), diet, exercise, supplements, lifestyle modifications as key elements.

Reverses Age-Related Degeneration
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy not only relieves inflammation and boosts the body’s natural immune system, but it can also mitigate oxidative stress that accelerates aging by helping repair damaged cells while encouraging new ones to form quickly. What makes hyperbaric oxygen therapy even more appealing as an anti-aging solution is that all this happens without surgery, injections or chemicals being necessary. For this reason it has quickly become one of the most promising anti-ageing treatments ever seen within beauty industry – one which may very soon revolutionise beauty industry innovation!
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, more commonly referred to as HBOT, utilizes various levels of oxygen within an enclosed pressurized chamber in order to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and increase collagen production, increase stem cell circulation and decrease age-associated markers such as inflammation. All these positive results come about because HBOT allows your body to more efficiently utilize oxygen.
Tel Aviv University and Shamir Medical Center of Israel conducted a recent clinical trial, where regular HBOT sessions helped reverse cellular aging. Over 64 year-old study participants participated in these unique anti-aging treatments; their blood cells actually became younger as treatment progressed.
The study’s authors were able to attribute these results to a decrease in senescent cells – cells which form when DNA within your cells starts shortening over time – which have been linked to muscle weakness, hair thinning and memory loss as symptoms of aging.
To combat signs of aging, the team administered regular hyperbaric oxygen sessions with patients over 60 days, lasting 90 minutes each session and with oxygen concentration varying between medium, high and very high – with each session lasting from MH (medium), HH (high), and VHH (very high). As part of their research results, HBOT was found to increase telomere length while clearing away senescent cells from older individuals due to inducing expression of “senolytic pathway” genes responsible for eliminating damaged senescent cells and reverse age-related degeneration.
Reverses Senescent Cells
Studies have revealed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can effectively reverse the harmful effects of oxidative stress at a cellular level. This includes increasing the length of telomeres – protective ends of chromosomes which get shorter with each cell division – as well as helping clear away senescent cells that accumulate over time and contribute to age-related degeneration and illness.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been demonstrated to reverse senescent cells by encouraging them to break down and leave the body, clearing space for healthy new cells to thrive. Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Shamir Medical Center recently published in Aging that regular sessions in a hyperbaric chamber reduced aging blood cells among healthy older adults, in fact even making their blood cells younger over time.
Underlying this phenomenon appears to be that high concentrations of oxygen delivered via HBOT stimulate the body’s natural antioxidant system and lead to decreased production of free radicals which cause oxidative damage; for this reason it has long been recognized as an effective anti-aging treatment.
HBOT can help reverse the aging process in another way by targeting cells considered “senescent.” These damaged cells often trigger inflammation, block blood flow and increase cancer risks – by eliminating them from your body with HBOT treatment, they may help to decrease inflammatory response and speed healing time.
Although numerous cell types can become senescent, the researchers in this study specifically targeted immune cells containing CD28. As a result, they measured how many CD28-containing senescent cells there were before and after receiving HBOT treatments; their researchers noted a substantial decline after exposure to hyperbaric oxygen which corresponds with past research showing how hyperbaric oxygen exposure elongated telomeres within this particular cell type.
