Ozone therapy is a medical procedure that has recently become more utilised in the medical field due to its therapeutic and restorative effects. It uses a controlled administration of ozone (a gas made up of 3 oxygen molecules) to promote health advantages by increasing oxygen in the body. This supports the immune system and wound healing due to the stimulation of cell regeneration, which replaces or repairs damaged cells. An important and interesting feature is the capability of ozone therapy in activating the body’s antioxidant system which increases the body’s ability to fend off oxidative stress and free radical damage. Ozone also possesses anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties, which can help in treating multiple chronic conditions.
The application of ozone therapy can be used for:
This type of therapy is used in many fields of medicine including aesthetics, vascular diseases, autoimmune diseases and much more.
Research has shown that when patients underwent ozone therapy, they experienced:
Ozone therapy is mostly innocuous and does not present many contraindications, however, always inform the doctor of any medical issues in order to discuss if this treatment can be applied to you.
Ozone therapy is used by health-conscious people to support their general well-being, boost immune system performance, and boost vitality. Ozone therapy can also be used to address hair loss by injecting ozone into the scalp to strengthen hair follicles as well as increasing the vascularization in the scalp to promote better hair growth. This procedure can also act as a preventive measure to reduce the chance of experiencing hair loss as well as improve the strength of dry and brittle hair in addition to tackling issues related to dandruff.
Another popular request amongst patients is the minimization of varicose veins- which can also be treated with ozone therapy. Ozone has shown positive results in contrasting circulation problems that cause discomfort, pain and cosmetic-related concerns such as varicose veins, as it aims to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation. Bad circulation can lead to serious health issues including cold hands and feet, swelling and the formation of said varicose veins in the legs and feet, which could increase the probability of blood clots. The method of administration of ozone to tackle varicose veins is through the use of autohemotherapy.
