What is ozone therapy (oxygen therapy). How is it useful?

Ozone therapy treatment is the use of appropriate gas for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. The reason for the popularity of medical services is simple. The fact is that the health of the inhabitants of the Earth from year to year is getting worse. Ecology is irrevocably spoiling. New drugs provoke new side effects. And pathogenic microbes, tirelessly multiplying, develop immunity to many antibiotic drugs. The search for alternatives has led doctors and cosmetologists to ozone. Gas treatment has several advantages over drug treatment.

• Complete rejection of medications. In some cases, a procedure using a combination of three oxygen atoms allows you to completely replace medication.
• A minimum of drugs. Where it is impossible to completely abandon the products of pharmaceutical companies, ozone therapy can minimize their use.
• The absence of complications. The procedure does not cause serious side effects and is not able to provoke complications.
• Beneficial effect on the whole body. One way or another, and saturating any part of the body with ozone, you benefit the whole body as a whole.

Administration Methods

Administration methods for ozone therapy can be local or systemic. It all depends on the goals set by the doctor and patient.

6 local methods ...

Local exposure is relevant when it is necessary to ozonize a specific organ or part of the body, heal the affected area of ​​the skin, and locally eliminate the fungus. Six types of such effects are distinguished.

1. Administration subcutaneously or intradermally. This method is relevant when ozone is introduced in minimal doses. The method involves the use of a syringe with a thin needle, which is especially popular in cosmetology. Relevant for treatment rosacea, demodicosis, and acneacne.
2. Bubbling. The second name of the method is aeration. In this way, ozone therapy is carried out on the limbs or head. For example, when psoriasis or to stimulate hair growth. The method involves fixing special plastic bags filled with the ozone mixture on the hands or feet.
3. Insufflation. The introduction of the ozone mixture intravaginally or rectally - that is, directly into the body cavity. In particular, in the vagina or through the rectum. The method is popular in proctology and gynecology. Often prescribed when uterine fibroids or to cauterize erosion.
4. Use of ozonated oil. With the help of oxidized oil, gastritis and other diseases of the digestive tract are often treated.
5. Intraarticularly. As an option - periarticular introduction. This therapeutic blockade allows you to relieve pain and is part of the treatment for osteochondrosis, arthrosis of the knee joint and other joint diseases.
6. Small autohemotherapy. The method consists in taking blood from a patient’s vein, saturating it with ozone and reintroducing it back into the vein. The method is used to treat herpes and furunculosis.

... and 3 system

These methods are systemic in nature. With their help, you can improve the whole body, improve mood, stabilize sleep and strengthen the body's defenses. Doctors often prescribe one of three systemic methods of ozone therapy during the rehabilitation period - to help the patient quickly get rid of the consequences of the disease and shorten the rehabilitation period.

1. Big autohemotherapy. This method is organized similarly to small autohemotherapy, however, its scope is more global.
2. Reception of ozonated water. In this case, water saturated with ozone is taken strictly according to the instructions drawn up by the doctor. This method is loved by dentists and gastroenterologists.
3. The introduction of ozone-containing drugs intramuscularly. Ozone is mixed with saline and with it through the droppers is introduced into the patient's body. The method is used for viral and bacterial ailments, as well as in the post-painful period - to accelerate rehabilitation.

Indications for the use of ozone therapy intravenously, as well as using other systemic and local methods, are not limited to one dozen. Their main list is presented in the table.

Table - Ozone Therapy Indications

... and in which not

Ozone treatment almost always gives a positive result. But this does not mean that the procedure has no contraindications. If you ignore the existing prohibitions, you can cause serious damage to the body. Refrain from the procedure should be in seven cases.

1. Diseases of the brain. Ozone therapy is strictly prohibited in convulsive syndrome, as well as other brain diseases.

Procedure Details

The reviews of those who regularly do ozone therapy and have already managed to feel the miraculous effect of three oxygen atoms are unambiguous. Everyone, as one, is sure: only a medical specialist can prescribe a procedure and determine its duration and frequency. A doctor or a cosmetologist (necessarily with a medical background) analyzes the patient’s medical history and condition, and only then clearly determines the duration of the course, frequency of sessions, and concentration of the ozone-containing drug.

• Frequency. On average, the number of procedures per course varies from 10 to 12 - depending on the problem and the individual characteristics of the patient.
• Interval. Between each session take a break. Minimum - a day. The maximum is four to five days.
• Session Duration It all depends on the chosen method of introducing ozone. For example, subcutaneous ozone therapy lasts only a couple of minutes. While intravenous administration of gas will take about 40-60 minutes.
• Bans. The ozone therapy session does not imply any particular restrictions. Immediately after the procedure, you can drive, go outside, drink coffee. The only thing that doctors do not recommend is a visit to the sauna or solarium. It is also worth to refrain from massage sessions during the treatment period.

Side effects

Ozone therapy is one of the few treatment and prophylactic procedures that has virtually no side effects. Only occasionally, at the site of the point of injection of a gas or gas-saturated preparation, the patient may experience mild swelling or a barely noticeable bruise. But this is subject to the fact that you turned to a professional cosmetologist or medical practitioner. If the specialist caught you so-so, then such complications are quite possible:

• poor eyesight;
• cramps
• decreased motor activity;
• depression;
• allergy;
• headache.

Beauty requires ozone

And not at all victims, as is commonly thought. Using ozone, you can get rid of cellulite, the second chin and rosacea. Gas is able to resume hair growth and reduce the appearance of rosacea.

• With cellulite. In the treatment of cellulite, a healing mixture saturated with gas is injected subcutaneously.After four sessions, the skin texture is noticeably smoothed, and the hated tubercles begin to disappear. Sometimes the ozone injection site is a little painful for patients, but the pain soon disappears. The maximum effect can be achieved by combining ozone therapy with anti-cellulite massage.
• To eliminate the second chin. To remove the second chin with gas is possible only in youth. Women of post-Balzac age who used this method rarely remain satisfied with the effect. In place of the second chin, an ugly fold appears in them. The reason is the lack of skin elasticity. An ozonized cocktail is injected directly into the chin area. The effect is achieved by systematic repetition of the procedure about eight times.
• In the treatment of rosacea and rosacea. The introduction of an ozonized cocktail allows you to eliminate small vascular asterisks. Larger “marks” will have to be removed with a laser. The maximum course for rosacea and rosacea lasts ten procedures, which, as a rule, are combined with the use of special cosmetics after each session.
• To stimulate hair growth. Four sessions once a week - and your hair will not only grow faster, but also become noticeably thicker. If you overdo it with a concentration of ozone shake, the hair will lose its elasticity and become more brittle.

With a lot of positive effects and amazing results, ozone therapy has several disadvantages. You will find them in the table below.

Table - Pros and Cons of the Procedure

Are there any analogues

The effect that ozone therapy can provide to the skin is achievable with the help of other beauty procedures. For example, using mesotherapy. And also by injecting Botox and dysport. All three methods are based on the activation of metabolic processes. Therefore, the result allows you to get young and toned skin. But pay attention to two warnings!

1. Mesortherapy This is a procedure that is strictly contraindicated for people prone to the formation of keloid scars. Refrain from its use and those patients who suffer from fibrosis.
2. Botox injections and dysport. Wrinkles are instantly smoothed. However, the affected areas of the skin remain motionless for a long time.

Procedures carried out with the help of an ozone cocktail do not allow you to get the result as quickly as injection techniques. However, this method allows you to save the "native" facial expressions. So, the end result will look much more natural and aesthetic.

Issue price

The cost of a course of ozone therapy depends on many factors. In particular, on the method of exposure, the concentration of the ozone-containing cocktail and the number of sessions. The table shows the approximate cost of the procedure in national currency per one session. Data is relevant for October 2017.

Table - Ozone Therapy Cost

Having carefully studied the contraindications of ozone therapy and making sure that the procedure does not pose any danger for you personally, it can be safely carried out at home. To do this, you need an ozonizer or a special hydromassage device equipped with an ozonation function. Of course, the effect after home ozone therapy will not manifest as quickly as after a professional clinical procedure. But in this case, quality can easily be compensated for by quantity. The severity of the anti-aging effect is directly proportional to the number of sessions.

Feedback and Results

I learned about ozone therapy from my cosmetologist, who recommended it to me subcutaneously for the face, as the only remedy for my problems, and these are: redness, rosacea, enlarged pores, tired appearance, black spots and periodic acne, facial wrinkles. She promised that her face would really be transformed, younger, and what else do we need for women. I immediately warned that I needed a course and frequency. Frightened by the price - 1000 rubles procedure. I then left promising to think and come back, because beauty and youth are more important than money. The Internet began to wool, to look for articles and real reviews of people. And to be honest - I didn’t find anything convincing that I would run and stab tomorrow. What scared, so - is stabbing in the face. I did not find a single review with the results BEFORE and AFTER. But I still decided to undergo this procedure - intravenously. The price of one procedure is 285 rubles. in the dispensary located within the city. Therapist consultation is free. Asked standard health questions. There are contraindications, so consultation is required. Have written out 10 procedures. I went a day after work. If I understood correctly - OZONE THERAPY is an ordinary physical solution, which is placed in a special device where it is ozonized for a certain time and then immediately administered by the drip method intravenously. Ozone is an antiseptic that kills various bacteria in the body. Increases immunity. Helps deal with stress and fatigue. Headaches pass. weight loss, the elimination of cellulite. I wrote only what I went for. More can be found in other sources. What can I confirm after one course. I began it in February when the forces were at the limit. She fell from her feet from fatigue, but from overstrain she could not fall asleep for a long time, she also woke up at night and again tossed and turned for a long time. In the morning I could not wake up. It was time for colds and flu. I didn't like myself at all in the mirror. When I first came, I was only happy that I could lie down for 30 minutes and do nothing. It does not hurt. There were no bruises after the procedures. What did I feel after each procedure ?! Despite the busy 8 hour day, after the procedure, I just flew home. There was a surge of strength. The dream became stronger and instant. Appearance also improved. I became calmer, more patient. Everyone around went to the sick-list one after another, my husband was ill, but I did NOT, and with my immunity ... I would have long gone and would have sniffed for a month. Perhaps this is a self-hypnosis. And as they say - this is the best medicine, but the colleague whom I advised this procedure felt the same way and myself.

Four years ago, I began to suffer terrible headaches. There are many reasons why there can be such a terrible headache, so I decided not to self-medicate, but to undergo a complete medical examination. After a long ordeal from one doctor to another, doctors came to the conclusion that it was more likely associated with blood vessels. Since I am not a supporter of taking medications, after consulting with a medical guru, I decided to take a course of ozone therapy consisting of 10 sessions, which, in my opinion, was almost harmless. The result was not long in coming, headaches became less frequent, overall health improved, the skin began to acquire a healthy color. In general, the effect of the procedure was “on the face”, therefore I was unspeakably satisfied.Nicotine addicted to the note, doctors immediately warn that if you smoke, then the money that was paid for the procedure will simply be thrown to the wind. I can’t say if there are any contraindications when using ozone therapy, but in any case, I think that any medical procedure should be taken in consultation with a doctor.

Not so long ago I discovered ozone therapy. She did it over the body to get rid of and eliminate body fat. The process is quite painstaking, but worthwhile, because I managed to remove a couple of centimeters. I have a course of procedures painted and ozone therapy is a preparatory procedure for conducting a course of grain. I think that in the end it will be possible to achieve the goal. In addition, I was very lucky with the doctor, because she took it on me thoroughly, she does not give a hack and scolds, if I allow myself a bun. And now for the first time I will do ozotherapy as a cosmetic procedure for the face, I still don’t know what the effect will be, but I assume that it’s positive and pleasant, the skin will receive the necessary oxygen, because after all the results on the body impress me.
