At Renovo Health and Beauty in Tijuana, Mexico, we offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as part of our comprehensive regenerative medicine program — and patients from San Diego, Southern California, and across the United States are making the short 30-minute drive across the border to access it. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, seeking to accelerate wound healing, or exploring HBOT as part of an anti-aging or stem cell protocol, our clinic provides personalized sessions in a world-class medical environment at a fraction of US costs.

HBOT involves breathing pure, medical-grade oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. Under elevated atmospheric pressure — typically 1.5 to 3 times normal — oxygen dissolves into the bloodstream at significantly higher concentrations than under normal conditions. This oxygen-rich environment reaches tissues that are inflamed, oxygen-deprived, or slow to heal, triggering the body’s natural repair mechanisms and creating the conditions for accelerated recovery.

In our experience at Renovo, HBOT is one of the most versatile and well-tolerated therapies we offer. It is especially powerful when combined with other regenerative protocols — and Dr. Jiménez frequently recommends it as a complement to stem cell therapy, ozone therapy, PRP, and IV infusions as part of a comprehensive recovery or wellness plan.

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

The human body depends on oxygen for virtually every biological process — from cellular energy production to immune function, tissue repair, and inflammation regulation. When tissue is damaged, infected, or inflamed, the local blood supply is often compromised, limiting oxygen delivery exactly where it is needed most.

HBOT addresses this directly. By pressurizing the chamber above normal atmospheric levels, we force oxygen to dissolve into the plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, and lymphatic fluid — not just red blood cells — delivering oxygen to areas that standard circulation cannot adequately reach. The result is a systemic cascade of therapeutic effects:

  • Stimulation of new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), improving circulation to damaged tissue
  • Reduction of inflammation by modulating inflammatory cytokines
  • Enhanced white blood cell function and immune response
  • Activation of stem cells and growth factors that support tissue regeneration
  • Acceleration of wound closure and post-surgical healing
  • Reduction of swelling and edema following injury or procedure
  • Neurological support: improved oxygen delivery to the brain and nervous system

Dr. Jiménez recommends HBOT as both a standalone treatment and as a synergistic add-on to stem cell therapy, particularly for patients with neurological conditions, orthopedic injuries, or chronic inflammatory diseases. Oxygen saturation at the tissue level is a key determinant of how well regenerative cells engraft and perform — which is why HBOT and regenerative medicine are a natural clinical pairing.

Conditions We Treat With HBOT in Tijuana

Our healthcare marketing consultant team at Renovo treats a wide range of patients with HBOT. The following conditions are among those most commonly addressed in our HBOT program:

Post-Surgical Recovery

HBOT is highly effective in the days and weeks following surgical procedures, accelerating tissue repair, reducing post-operative inflammation, and lowering the risk of infection by creating a high-oxygen environment hostile to anaerobic bacteria. Many of our patients combine HBOT sessions with other Renovo procedures as part of a structured recovery protocol.

Chronic Wounds & Non-Healing Ulcers

Diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, and pressure wounds respond well to HBOT. By delivering high concentrations of oxygen to hypoxic wound tissue, HBOT promotes the growth of new blood vessels and granulation tissue essential for healing.

Neurological Conditions

In our experience at Renovo, patients with traumatic brain injury, stroke sequelae, post-COVID neurological symptoms, and neurodegenerative conditions have reported meaningful improvements with HBOT as part of a broader treatment plan. Research suggests HBOT may support neuroplasticity and reduce neuroinflammation — making it a compelling add-on to our stem cell therapy protocols for neurological disorders.

Anti-Aging & Cellular Rejuvenation

Growing evidence suggests HBOT can activate telomere-lengthening pathways and reduce senescent cell burden — two mechanisms directly linked to biological aging. Patients pursuing our anti-aging and precision medicine programs often include HBOT sessions as part of their longevity protocol.

Sports Injury Recovery & Performance

HBOT has long been used by professional athletes for accelerated muscle recovery, reduced soreness, and faster return to training following injury. Our sports medicine patients frequently combine HBOT with PRP therapy or shockwave therapy for musculoskeletal conditions.

COPD & Respiratory Conditions

For patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other respiratory conditions, systemic oxygen delivery via HBOT supplements the limited oxygen absorption capacity of compromised lungs, supporting energy production and quality of life.

HBOT pairs particularly well with our stem cell therapy program. Many patients combine HBOT sessions with a stem cell protocol to optimize tissue oxygenation before and after treatment — improving the conditions in which regenerative cells do their work.

What to Expect During Your HBOT Session at Renovo

HBOT at Renovo is a comfortable, non-invasive procedure. Here is what a typical session looks like at our Tijuana clinic:

  • You enter the hyperbaric chamber and recline comfortably for the duration of your session.
  • The chamber is slowly pressurized to the prescribed level — you may notice mild pressure in your ears, similar to the sensation during an airplane descent. Swallowing or yawning equalizes pressure easily.
  • You breathe 100% medical-grade oxygen through a mask or hood throughout the session.
  • Most sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes depending on your treatment protocol.
  • At the end of the session, the chamber depressurizes gradually and you exit feeling relaxed. Many patients report a sense of clarity and energy following HBOT.

Side effects are rare and typically mild. Some patients experience temporary ear fullness or slight lightheadedness during or after a session. Dr. Jiménez and our medical team review each patient’s health history prior to beginning an HBOT program to ensure suitability and establish the appropriate pressure and session parameters.

HBOT in Tijuana — Patient FAQs

The number of sessions depends entirely on your condition and treatment goals. For post-surgical recovery or adjunct regenerative therapy, Dr. Jiménez typically recommends 10 to 20 sessions. For chronic neurological conditions, protocols may range from 20 to 40 sessions. We discuss your specific protocol in detail during your initial consultation.

Many patients notice increased energy, reduced inflammation, or improved sleep quality within the first 3 to 5 sessions. More significant therapeutic outcomes — particularly in wound healing and neurological recovery — typically become apparent after 10 or more sessions, as the cumulative effects of oxygen-driven tissue repair build over time.

Most patients can return to normal daily activity 6 to 24 hours after a session. HBOT is non-invasive and does not require downtime. Some patients report mild fatigue immediately after a session, which typically resolves within a few hours.

HBOT is well-tolerated by most patients. Contraindications include untreated pneumothorax, certain lung conditions, and some ear or sinus pathology. If you are pregnant, taking certain chemotherapy agents, or have a pacemaker, please inform us before scheduling. Dr. Jiménez personally reviews each patient’s health history before beginning any HBOT protocol.

Yes — and this is one of the most common ways our patients use HBOT. It is frequently combined with stem cell therapy, ozone therapy, IV therapy with NAD+, and PRP as part of a comprehensive regenerative protocol. Dr. Jiménez will recommend the optimal combination and sequencing based on your health goals.

Our clinic is located at Av. Santa María 2750-int 605, 6th Floor, Tijuana — approximately 30 minutes from downtown San Diego via the San Ysidro border crossing.
