Two ways to Somara

In the lab, and at home

From the team behind Somara Labs, the red light brand already in Pakistani homes. Somara Labs brings light therapy home; the Lab adds what needs a clinic: a pressurised oxygen chamber, a full red light room, PEMF and compression recovery.

Treatments

Four treatments, one strand

Scroll through them. Each is bookable as a single intro session.

01 / 04

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Breathe concentrated oxygen in a pressurised chamber at up to 2.0 ATA. Raising the pressure lets your blood carry far more oxygen than breathing air at ground level. The trials below ran at 2.0 ATA, the same pressure as our chamber.

Red Light Therapy Room

A full room of red and near-infrared panels, head to toe in one session. Red and near-infrared light at room scale, for full-body coverage that a single home panel cannot give.

PEMF Recovery

Pulsed electromagnetic field sessions you lie back and rest through. Low-frequency magnetic pulses delivered through a mat while you rest. Book it on its own or add it after a red light session.

Coming soonBody, Skin and Metabolic Analysis

An extensive baseline of your body, skin and metabolism, so every protocol starts from your own numbers.

In numbers

The protocol, by the numbers

2.0ATA. The pressure our chamber reaches, and the pressure used in every study on this page.

Higher pressure lets your blood carry far more oxygen than breathing air at ground level.

What the trials measured

Every study below ran hyperbaric oxygen at 2.0 ATA, the pressure our chamber reaches. The full list of 98 human studies, good and bad, is on our evidence page.

0.79

effect size, processing speed

Sharper thinking in healthy older adults

63 healthy older adults were randomised to 60 sessions or no treatment. Global cognition improved, attention and processing speed most, and blood flow to the brain rose.

60 sessions at 2.0 ATA, 90 minutes each.Hadanny et al., 2020, Aging ↗

0.99

effect size, VO2max

Higher VO2max in masters athletes

Against a sham chamber, 40 sessions raised VO2max and anaerobic threshold in trained masters athletes, with matching gains in muscle mitochondria.

40 sessions at 2.0 ATA, 60 minutes each. 31 athletes analysed.Hadanny et al., 2022, Sports Medicine Open ↗

20%+

longer telomeres in selected immune cells

Longer telomeres, fewer senescent cells

After 60 sessions, telomere length grew by more than 20% in selected immune-cell populations and the share of some senescent T-cells fell.

Small uncontrolled study. These are ageing markers, not proof of a longer life.Hachmo et al., 2020, Aging ↗

skin markers improved in biopsies

Denser collagen and more blood vessels in skin

Skin biopsies from older men showed greater collagen density, longer elastic fibres, more blood vessels and fewer senescent cells after a 60-session course.

13 men, no sham group. Measured in tissue, not in photos.Hachmo et al., 2021, Aging ↗

How it works

The Somara method

Four steps from your first session to a protocol you can measure.

Intro

FAQ

Before your first session

What is a longevity clinic?

A clinic focused on how well you age: recovery, fitness, cognition and the markers behind them. Somara Longevity Lab offers hyperbaric oxygen, a red light therapy room, PEMF and compression recovery in Islamabad.

How is the Lab different from Somara Labs?

Somara Labs sells red light panels, masks and caps for use at home. Somara Longevity Lab is the clinic in Islamabad, with a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, a full red light room, PEMF and compression recovery that you book by the session.

How many hyperbaric oxygen sessions do I need?

The studies on our evidence page used 40 to 60 sessions at 2.0 ATA. One session lets you experience the chamber; lasting change in research came from a full course.

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy safe?

It is widely used in hospitals worldwide. Some people should not use it, for example with certain lung, ear or sinus conditions, so we ask about your health before your first session.

Can I combine treatments in one visit?

Yes. A common pairing is red light followed by PEMF. Choose the combination when you book.
