Oxyclair pioneers accessible hyperbaric oxygen therapy using the Revitalair 430 chamber to enhance wellness through cutting-edge methods tailored to diverse health needs.

Claire Colonna d’Istria, an osteopath with a passion for holistic care, founded Oxyclair in 2017 and later relocated the clinic to Olivet near Orléans in 2022. Since its inception, Oxyclair has been at the forefront of making hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) widely accessible, transforming it from a niche clinical treatment into a mainstream wellness solution.

While Claire Colonna d’Istria continues her osteopathy practice in Marseille, she relocated the HBOT clinic to Olivet to better accommodate her expanding patient base in the region, particularly families with children needing extended therapy.

“Many of my patients were coming from the Orléans area,” Claire Colonna d’Istria explained in an interview with MedicalExpo e-Magazine, over coffee at Cécile in Marseille. “It was expensive for families to stay in Marseille for the duration of their child’s treatment. Moving to Olivet was about making care more accessible and reducing the burden on these families.”

Rooted in advanced medical principles, HBOT uses oxygen under pressure to enhance cellular regeneration, optimize metabolic activity, and address a variety of health concerns. Seven years on, Oxyclair’s mission to establish HBOT as a cornerstone of modern wellness remains as relevant as ever.

“I wanted to create a space where people could heal, recover, and thrive naturally, using cutting-edge methods without sacrificing comfort.”

The Science Behind Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy operates on foundational physical laws that govern gas dynamics under pressure. These principles—Mariotte’s, Dalton’s, and Henry’s laws—explain how oxygen, when administered in a pressurized chamber, dissolves more efficiently into blood plasma. Unlike regular oxygen intake, HBOT ensures that even poorly vascularized tissues receive sufficient oxygenation, unlocking the body’s regenerative potential.

At the heart of the therapy is a pressurized chamber set at 1.4 ATM, where patients inhale concentrated oxygen. This hyperoxygenation fosters multiple physiological benefits. 

“By using pressure to saturate the body with oxygen, we can push oxygen into the cells, promoting regeneration and repair even in tissues that don’t normally receive adequate oxygen,” Claire Colonna d’Istria explained.

One key benefit of HBOT is its ability to reduce inflammation through vasoconstriction, which minimizes swelling and pain. Enhanced tissue repair occurs via angiogenesis, where the formation of new blood vessels accelerates healing. For skeletal health, osteogenesis stimulates bone repair by encouraging the activity of osteoblasts. Additionally, the synthesis of collagen, essential for skin and tissue integrity, is markedly increased. 

“The way oxygen helps create new blood vessels and boosts collagen production is particularly transformative for recovery and skin health,” Claire added.

HBOT also strengthens the immune system by energizing neutrophils, key white blood cells that combat infection. Beyond healing, the therapy’s neuroprotective effects redistribute blood flow to the brain, alleviating stress and supporting cognitive function. 

“We’ve seen incredible outcomes for clients dealing with chronic stress or cognitive challenges,” Claire noted. “The oxygen reaches areas of the brain that may have been undernourished, allowing for noticeable improvements in clarity and focus.”

With such a broad physiological impact, it’s clear why HBOT has transitioned from clinical exclusivity to a sought-after wellness tool.

The Revitalair 430: A Revolution in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

At the heart of Oxyclair’s oxygen therapy is the Revitalair 430 BIOBARICA Chambre hyperbare monoplace, a state-of-the-art hyperbaric chamber designed to deliver oxygen therapy in a safe, efficient, and comfortable manner. This device operates at 1.4 ATM pressure, significantly enhancing oxygen penetration into tissues to support cellular regeneration, injury recovery, and overall wellness.

“When I selected the Revitalair 430, my priority was safety and compliance with European medical norms. This device exceeded my expectations, offering both portability and medical-grade performance,” Claire Colonna d’Istria said.

The Revitalair 430 uses compressor-driven pressurization and advanced oxygen extraction technology to ensure consistent and precise oxygen delivery tailored to therapeutic needs. The chamber’s ergonomic interior design allows users to relax comfortably during sessions, with optional amenities such as soothing music or reading materials to enhance the experience. 

While searching for the ideal device, Claire consulted experts at a hospital in Marseille that specialized in hyperbaric treatments. There, she learned about the Revitalair 430, a newer chamber that had recently been validated by medical professionals for its efficacy and compliance with European norms. This fortuitous encounter led her to integrate the device into Oxyclair’s offerings, noting it as one of the very first purchases of the chamber in France.

“The chamber’s efficiency lies in its ability to push oxygen deep into tissues,” Claire explained. “This facilitates recovery for athletes, improves cognitive functions in those with neural injuries, and enhances general wellness for everyday users.”

The chamber’s therapeutic impact is evident across a variety of use cases. For athletes, it aids in faster recovery by minimizing lactic acid buildup and promoting muscular repair. For children with neural injuries or developmental challenges, it supports the creation of new neural connections. Beyond these applications, it also helps individuals combat stress and fatigue, offering a natural means of rejuvenation.

“The goal isn’t just short-term relief but long-term wellness. The body learns to maintain improved oxygenation even outside the chamber.”

With its innovative features and transformative potential, the Revitalair 430 has become a cornerstone of Oxyclair’s mission to make hyperbaric oxygen therapy accessible and impactful for diverse health needs.
