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.
