Ozone therapy as a treatment for various diseases has been used for nearly a century. First, ozone was used as an antiseptic, but about forty years ago, have been actively conducted research on the effects of ozone on the human body, which revealed new properties of ozone, unknown until that time. Gradually the method of ozone therapy has been applied in the treatment of many diseases.

How does ozone on the human body

Ozone - is oxygen having a high reactivity. Ozone is toxic at high concentrations in air it affects man intoxicating and lowers resistance to bacterial infections, as antibacterial agent oxidizes the lysozyme contained in the mucus of the respiratory tract.

The natural concentration (for example, after a storm), ozone has a stimulating effect on the human body - increases the resistance to cold, to the action of toxic substances to a shortage of oxygen in tissues (hypoxia) causes an increase in hemoglobin and red blood cells increases the phagocyte activity of leukocytes ( the ability to absorb and dissolve infectious agents), improves immunity. Ozone has antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal properties, can kill also the simplest. Furthermore, it possesses anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effect.

Because of these properties, ozone is used to treat many diseases. In cosmetology Ozone came into use relatively recently, but almost immediately gained considerable popularity. The fact that, unlike a purely cosmetic treatments and medicines, ozone has a salutary effect not only on skin, but also on the entire body, enhancing its protective properties.

The positive influence of ozone on the skin is that it eliminates hypoxia - insufficient supply of oxygen to body tissues by their circulatory improvement and increasing the amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells (hemoglobin carries oxygen to the tissues). This hypoxia is an "enemy №1» for the skin, as it contributes to aging Internal and external aging: it is necessary to think in advance   and infection development.

Types of ozone therapy used in cosmetology

Ozone is used in cosmetics in the form of the introduction of ozonated solutions intravenously, in the form of subcutaneous injections of local ozone application to the skin of ozonized oil in the form of an enema with ozonated solutions in the form of autohemotherapy with ozone.

Intravenous drip of ozone is used, for example, lowered immunity and severe acne. This activates the body's protective properties and kills pathogens.

Subcutaneous administration of the local ozone activates the metabolism and increases the intensity of energy processes in the tissues, neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals, that is, to prevent the aging process. At the same time promotes the formation of ozone in the skin proteins, including collagen and elastin, activates the regenerative capabilities of the growth layer of the skin and its ability to retain liquid. Ozone is injected under the skin using a very fine needle to wrinkles and places with broken elastic fabric. As a result, after subcutaneous administration of local ozone wrinkles are smoothed, the skin becomes more elastic, improves the complexion. When acne such injections promote removal of infection and rapid healing of abscesses.

Ozonized oil (usually olive oil) applied to the skin before the facial massage. Massage promotes more active and uniform absorption of ozonated oil. Such procedures contribute to cleansing, moisturizing and softening the skin, protects it from various hazards.

Sometimes a mixture of ozone injected into the rectum after enema. This method of introducing ozone mixtures used in skin diseases associated with dysbiosis, for example, long and hard flowing acne. This is a hundred ozone mixture helps restore normal intestinal microflora and strengthens the immune system.

Autohemotherapy ozone - this mix ozone with the patient's blood taken from a vein, followed by introducing it back into the vein. The blood is saturated with ozone, it acquires special properties. It stimulates the immune system, treats inflammation, promotes wound healing and calming effect on the central nervous system.
