From the filmed session
What Dr. Emer did · RECODEX
Pressurized oxygen delivery in a spacious chamber, 60 to 90 minutes per session, designed for post-surgical recovery or wellness optimization with emergency shutoff valve accessible from inside.
“It does a great thing for recovery, healing, anything with, you know, just producing oxygen into the body.”

Why patients fly in
Dr. Emer operates dedicated hyperbaric oxygen chambers in West Hollywood and New York City, eliminating the need for patients to travel to third-party facilities and allowing recovery protocols to be managed entirely within the practice.
“We have another one in New York City. So, if you guys are either New York, Los Angeles, you guys are able to come in, get a hyperbaric session done.”
The chamber is engineered with enough interior space to accommodate patients who experience claustrophobia, with room to bring feet up and move comfortably during the session.
“Really big and spacious. So, for any patients that are claustrophobic, this hyper bear gets spacious. You're able to bring your feet up right there, guys.”
Patients can bring laptops and phones into the chamber, take calls and continue working during the 60 to 90 minute session, integrating recovery into their schedule rather than interrupting it.
“The other great thing is, guys, if you are somebody that's on the go, you can also work from here, take phone calls. So, it's a one-stop shop, my friends.”
An emergency shutoff valve is accessible from inside the chamber, giving patients immediate control over depressurization if needed.
“We have an emergency uh shut off valve where if you want to get out, you just open that up.”
THE THINKING BEHIND THE TREATMENT
Follow Dr. Emer’s approach through the stages described in this case.
Back to the video ↗The chamber increases oxygen concentration in the blood and tissues, which supports cellular repair and reduces inflammation.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy delivers pressurized oxygen to the body, saturating the blood and tissues at levels impossible to achieve by breathing room air. That increased oxygen supports faster resolution of swelling and bruising, better tissue integration after fat grafting or sculpting, and optimized healing at the cellular level.

Sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes. The chamber is spacious enough to work from, take calls, or rest. An emergency shutoff valve is accessible from inside, and the design accommodates patients who are claustrophobic.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is part of the aftercare protocol at Dr. Emer's practice, available in both West Hollywood and New York City. The chamber delivers pressurized oxygen to the body, which accelerates healing, reduces swelling, and supports tissue recovery after surgery.
It is also used for wellness, longevity and recovery outside of a surgical context: athletes, executives and patients managing chronic inflammation or seeking optimized healing.

Surgical recovery and wellness, built into the plan / How it works

The hyperbaric chamber increases oxygen concentration in the blood and tissues under pressure, which supports cellular repair and reduces inflammation. For surgical patients, that means faster resolution of swelling and bruising, and better tissue integration after procedures like liposculpture, fat grafting or facial sculpting.

How a session is built
Planned around your recovery or wellness goals: 60 to 90 minutes per session, scheduled at both locations.
The chamber is spacious and easy to enter. You can bring your phone, laptop, or simply rest.
The chamber pressurizes gradually, and oxygen concentration increases. Most patients feel nothing or a mild sensation similar to an airplane descent.
Sessions last 60 to 90 minutes. You can work, take calls, or rest during the session.
The chamber depressurizes gradually, and you exit. There is no downtime after a session.
The treatment, explained
Also called HBOT, pressurized oxygen therapy, hyperbaric chamber, oxygen therapy for surgical recovery, hyperbaric oxygen for healing.

Why Dr. Emer
Two decades of surgical outcomes, and a protocol that treats healing as seriously as the procedure itself.
Dr. Emer built his reputation on results that last, and recovery is where that outcome is protected. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one tool in a complete aftercare plan that includes compression, lymphatic support, nutrition and follow-up.
Patients come to him when the result has to be precise and the recovery has to be fast: athletes protecting a training schedule, executives managing a work calendar, and people who have been elsewhere and want it done right.
Patients use hyperbaric oxygen as part of their aftercare plan, starting within days of a procedure and continuing through the healing timeline. It accelerates resolution of swelling, supports tissue integration, and shortens the visible recovery window.
Non-surgical patients use hyperbaric oxygen for recovery from training, management of chronic inflammation, wound healing, or general optimization. Sessions are scheduled based on your goals and availability.
Asked plainly, answered plainly
Yes. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is FDA-cleared and widely used in medical settings for wound healing, tissue repair and recovery. The chamber has an emergency shutoff valve accessible from inside, giving you immediate control over depressurization if needed.
Most patients feel nothing or a mild sensation similar to an airplane descent during pressurization as the chamber reaches therapeutic pressure. The session itself is comfortable: you can work, take calls or rest for the 60 to 90 minute duration.
The number of hyperbaric oxygen sessions is decided at consultation based on your procedure, healing timeline and recovery goals. Surgical patients typically use it as part of their aftercare plan, starting within days of the procedure and continuing through the healing window.
The chamber is spacious and designed to accommodate patients who experience claustrophobia, with enough room to bring your feet up and move comfortably. An emergency shutoff valve is accessible from inside, giving you control over the session.
Yes. You can bring your phone and laptop into the chamber, take calls and continue working during the 60 to 90 minute session. Many patients integrate hyperbaric oxygen into their schedule rather than treating it as downtime.
No. Hyperbaric oxygen is used for both post-surgical recovery and wellness outside of surgery. Non-surgical patients schedule sessions for training recovery, inflammation management, wound healing or general optimization based on their goals.
Yes. Dr. Emer operates dedicated hyperbaric oxygen chambers in West Hollywood and New York City, allowing patients at either location to access the therapy as part of their recovery or wellness plan.
An emergency shutoff valve is accessible from inside the chamber. If you need to exit early, you open the valve and the chamber depressurizes gradually, allowing you to leave safely.
A consultation with Dr. Emer covers your recovery timeline, your goals, and whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy is part of your protocol.
