Oxygen Therapy Near Me in Chicago: What Add-On Actually Does

By Dr. Scott Yilk, M.D. | IVme Wellness + Aesthetics | Chicago Old Town | Last Update: June 2026

Quick Answer

Oxygen therapy at IVme Wellness + Aesthetics Chicago Old Town is a physician-supervised, 30-minute supplemental session delivered at 4L/min, as an add-on to most IV hydration services. It may help support relief from headaches and nausea, and may help give your energy a lift when you’re feeling off.

Why it’s worth knowing about:

  • It pairs seamlessly with any IV drip, no extra appointment, no extra time
  • Most guests experience it right in the same chair during their infusion
  • It works across a wide range of symptoms, headaches, fatigue, and nausea, in a single short session
  • Our Chicago Old Town team will always screen you first to make sure it’s the right fit for your visit that day

What Is Oxygen Therapy at IVme Chicago Old Town?

If you’ve ever scrolled through our service menu at IVme and spotted “Oxygen” listed as an add-on, you’re in good company; it’s one of the questions our team gets asked most often.

Here’s the short version, straight from Dr. Scott:

“It does help a lot of symptoms when people aren’t feeling the best. It can help your headache go away, make you feel less nauseous, give you a little more energy.”

The service is exactly what it sounds like: breathing in pure oxygen through a comfortable nasal cannula for 30 minutes at 4 liters per minute. It’s non-invasive, requires no needles, and is designed to support your body’s natural recovery process by increasing the oxygen available to your cells and tissues.

It’s also worth knowing what it isn’t. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) uses a pressurized chamber and is used in specific clinical settings; that’s a very different scope. What IVme offers is a wellness-focused, supplemental session, a simple, affordable way to support how you feel, right now.

Note: Individual results may vary. This service is intended to support general wellness and is not a treatment for any medical condition.

Who May Benefit from This Add-On in Chicago?

This isn’t just for one type of person; it tends to resonate with a wide range of guests who come through our Old Town door. It may be a good fit if you’re:

  • Recovering from a rough night out: Dehydration and a pounding head are one of the most common reasons guests request this add-on alongside their Hangover IV session
  • Dealing with fatigue or brain fog: If you’ve been running on empty, supplemental breathing support may help support your energy levels and mental clarity
  • Experiencing a headache: Whether it’s tension-related, sinus-related, or stress-induced, this is one of the first things our team reaches for
  • Feeling nauseous: Nausea from travel, stress, or a stomach bug can leave you wiped out; pairing this service with our IV hydration therapy may help support your comfort as your body rehydrates
  • Looking for a low-commitment wellness boost: At $20, it’s one of the easiest additions to any session for curious first-timers
  • Wellness-minded Chicagoans: Whether you’re a Loop professional squeezing in a visit on your lunch hour, a weekend warrior recovering after a long run along the Lakefront Trail, or a busy parent in Lincoln Park who finally carved out time for yourself, this one’s designed for you

That said, whether it’s the right choice for your visit depends on your individual health and goals. That’s exactly why our team takes the time to get to know you.
