Interval hypoxia-hyperoxia training (IHHT) is an innovative method for increasing physical and mental performance, for faster regeneration and for promoting cell health. Targeted oxygen impulses optimize the mitochondria – the energy centers of the cells – providing more energy.

Who is IHHT suitable for?

IHHT is ideal for:

  • athletes & performance-oriented people who want to improve their endurance, strength and recovery
  • people who want to strengthen their mitochondrial health and actively do something for their quality of life (longevity)
  • people with symptoms of exhaustion such as burnout or post-Covid who want to improve their energy production and cell regeneration

How does IHHT work?

With increasing age, stress or illness, mitochondrial function can decline, leading to a lack of energy, fatigue and premature ageing. This is exactly where IHHT comes in. Through treatment with different oxygen concentrations, IHHT affects the energy supply to the cells. Hypoxia and normoxia phases alternate.

  • Hypoxia phase (low oxygen): Weak mitochondria die, healthy ones are strengthened.
  • Normoxia phase (oxygen-rich): The remaining mitochondria become more efficient and powerful, and the body recovers at a cellular level during this process.

This targeted change improves cell energy production and oxygen uptake, which leads to more energy, performance and better stress resistance.

IHHT – advantages at a glance

  • increase in physical and mental performance
  • optimization of the mitochondria and improvement of cell health
  • faster regeneration and stress reduction
  • support for burnout, exhaustion and post-Covid syndrome
  • promotion of quality of life and anti-ageing through cellular rejuvenation
  • significant improvement in brain performance with better concentration, memory, prevention and treatment of dementia such as Alzheimer's disease

How the treatment is carried out

The IHHT session takes place in a lying position, is comfortable and completely relaxing – without physical exertion. The treatment lasts 40-60 minutes. Many people report more energy, better concentration and improved recovery after just a few sessions.

FAQs on the topic IHHT

What happens during an IHHT session?

You relax while lying down and breathe alternately low-oxygen and oxygen-rich air through a special mask. One session lasts 40–60 minutes and is completely pain-free.

How many sessions are needed?

For noticeable and lasting improvements, 6–10 sessions are recommended. Athletes or individuals with chronic fatigue often benefit from regular maintenance sessions.

When will I notice the first effects?

Many people feel increased energy, faster recovery, and improved mental clarity after just a few sessions. Long-term improvements develop over several weeks.

Is IHHT safe?

Yes, IHHT is a scientifically supported and safe method with decades of use in altitude medicine and cellular therapy. Various scientific studies confirm its effectiveness.

Who should not undergo IHHT?

IHHT is not recommended for individuals with severe cardiovascular conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or acute lung diseases.

Can IHHT be combined with other treatments?

Yes, IHHT can be combined with infusion therapies, micronutrients, and regenerative treatments to further optimise cellular health. This is precisely our approach at BEAUTYCLINIC Engadin.
