When is it effective, and when, conversely, is it contraindicated? We will analyze this in this article.
What is Ozone Therapy?
Medical ozone is a mixture of chemical elements, such as ozone (O3) and oxygen (O2), which have a number of beneficial health effects. Ozone therapy is a medical therapy that uses a mixture of medical oxygen combined with ozone. Its goal is to induce a controlled and harmless micro-oxidation (or micro-oxygenation) of tissues, activating the cellular antioxidant system as an organic and natural reaction of the body. That is, this technique allows the cells and organs to be "revitalized" by stimulating immune defense at the cellular level. When the body is saturated with oxygen, the tissue regeneration effect occurs immediately. This is why ozone is used to treat hard-to-heal injuries, as well as joint pain or in the aesthetic field. It also has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects and possesses bactericidal properties. Thus, it prevents oxidative stress, slowing down premature aging and chronic fatigue syndrome. In short, ozone therapy is a comprehensive therapy for regeneration, detoxification, and cleansing of cells and the body as a whole. The use of ozone can work very well as an adjunctive therapy to drug treatment.
Advantages of Ozone Therapy
Thanks to the action of the oxygen atoms present in ozone, an oxygenation effect occurs in the body, which allows for the restoration of cellular functions and improves overall blood circulation.
Ozone therapy has many benefits for the body:
• Improves the blood's ability to absorb and transport oxygen throughout the body, thereby improving blood circulation and all cellular functions. On the other hand, it stimulates the enzymes involved in oxygen metabolism and activates glycolysis for better utilization of glucose, which is the primary energy source.
• Helps the functional recovery of patients with degenerative diseases, such as senile dementia (vascular and Alzheimer's disease), vascular catastrophes (strokes/infarctions), heart diseases, optic neuritis, glaucoma, and others.
• Stimulates all antioxidant cellular enzymes to eliminate free radicals and other oxidants harmful to the body. This helps curb the rate of aging processes.
• Is capable of stimulating immune defense by activating immunosuppressive cytokines, such as IL10 and , and exerting an anti-inflammatory and reparative effect on tissues.
• Blocks the action of prostaglandins and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1, IL6, IL8, IL12, IL15, and ), as well as other molecules responsible for inflammation and pain, such as substance P, providing analgesic and anti-inflammatory action. In this regard, it helps regenerate tissues and heal injuries.
• The bactericidal effect of ozone allows for the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and other types of viruses.
Indications for Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy is a method used to treat various pathologies. Such therapy leads to a significant improvement in physiological processes in the body, enhancing the quality of life and working capacity of a person, as it compensates and slows down the aging process with a long-term effect.
According to SCIOOT — the Inter-American Scientific Society of Oxygen-Ozone Therapy, recognized by IMEOF (the International Medical Ozone Federation), ozone therapy helps combat infectious, parasitic, rheumatic, vascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, ophthalmological, metabolic, dermatological diseases, and is also applied in oncology and cardiology patients. This technique is also used in cosmetology and dentistry.
We highlight the most common indications for the use of medical ozone:
• Osteomyelitis, pleural emphysema, abscesses with fistulas, infected wounds, pressure ulcers, chronic ulcers, diabetic foot, and burns.
• Hypertension.
• Diabetes mellitus.
• Coronary artery disease (CAD).
• Macular degeneration of the eyes (atrophic form).
• Musculoskeletal diseases and joint calcifications.
• Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
• Chronic and recurrent infections and ulcers in the oral cavity.
• Acute and chronic infectious diseases (hepatitis, HIV-AIDS, herpes and shingles, papillomavirus infections, onychomycosis and candidiasis, giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis), especially those caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi resistant to antibiotics and chemical agents.
• Bartholinitis and vaginal candidiasis.
• Allergies and asthma.
• Autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease).
• Neurodegenerative diseases.
• Pulmonary diseases: pulmonary emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
• Skin diseases: psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
• Cancer-related fatigue.
• Early stage renal insufficiency.
For example, in the case of intervertebral disc herniation and osteoarthritis, ozone therapy can avoid surgical intervention and is a highly effective and inexpensive treatment compared to other methods.
Ozone Therapy Instead of Medication?
Many of the diseases listed above are typically treated with corticosteroids, but ozone has some important advantages:
• It does not weaken tendons, ligaments, and articular cartilage.
• It does not affect other medical pathologies, such as anxiety disorder, osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, gastropathies, renal or hepatic insufficiency.
• There are virtually no limitations to its use.
• It is an indicated treatment in the case of avascular necrosis.
Application of Ozone Therapy in Aesthetic Medicine
In the context of aesthetic medicine, ozone therapy is offered for several purposes. We highlight some of them:
• Treatment of cellulite: Ozone can help reduce "orange peel" skin by improving blood circulation and reducing inflammation in the affected areas.
• Stimulation of collagen production: Ozone therapy can stimulate the production of collagen, a protein essential for skin elasticity and firmness, which can have a rejuvenating effect.
• Correction of wrinkles and signs of aging: Ozone therapy can be effective in reducing wrinkles and other signs of aging by improving blood circulation and oxygenating the skin.
• Anti-aging effect: Regarding the ability of medical ozone to combat skin aging, as well as its potential as a biostimulant for the skin of the face, neck, décolleté, and hands, it is important to emphasize that this is a completely natural therapeutic approach that does not contain chemical compounds. This treatment opens up a promising perspective to reverse the oxidative processes affecting the skin by directly acting on free radicals, which are known to accelerate skin aging.
• Reduction of fat deposits: Regarding the reduction of fat deposits, ozone therapy acts as a lipolytic agent, meaning it helps to break down and eliminate localized fat accumulations, especially in areas prone to cellulite, as well as in the area of double chin formation.
It is important to note that ozone therapy must be performed by a properly trained and licensed medical professional, and that, as with most biological treatments, several sessions will be required to achieve the desired results.
Contraindications
Despite the high effectiveness and safety of ozone therapy, it should not be used in some cases. We highlight the main contraindications:
• Pregnancy.
• Myocardial infarction (MI).
• Hemorrhagic stroke.
• Favism ( deficiency), a type of hemolytic disease.
• Hyperthyroidism.
• Blood clotting disorders, intake of anticoagulants, recent bleeding.
• Seizure states, epilepsy.
• Period of exacerbation of chronic diseases (based on individual indications).
• Hypoglycemia.
How the Ozone Therapy Procedure is Performed
Ozone therapy is administered in various ways. Let's look at the main ones:
• Ozonated water: It is used for cleaning wounds and treating burns. It also serves to treat gastrointestinal problems.
• Ozonated oil: It is commonly used for the treatment of vaginal infections, athlete's foot, ulcers, gingivitis, and hemorrhoids.
• Local application: The area being treated is surrounded by a glass bell or a polyethylene bag into which the ozone-oxygen mixture is introduced.
• Subcutaneous application: This type of technique is intended for the treatment of cellulite, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, and some rheumatic diseases.
• Intramuscular or intra-articular application: First, blood is drawn from the patient, which is then ozonated and injected into the muscles or joints.
• Intravenous route: After extracting the patient's own blood and ozonating it, it is injected intravenously back into the same site from which it was taken. In general terms, this technique allows for the cleansing of the body. It is also applied for oncological diseases and metabolic problems, such as diabetes.
• Rectal insufflation: In this case, a probe is used to introduce ozone into the rectum. This method has a local anti-inflammatory effect and promotes rapid healing of the gastrointestinal mucous membranes. Furthermore, the systemic effect of ozone is beneficial for the entire body internally.
• Vaginal insufflation: A probe is used to introduce ozone into the vagina. This technique is usually applied for the treatment of candidiasis.
IMPORTANT: Ozone therapy must always be performed by professionals highly skilled in this technique.
How Often Should Ozone Therapy Sessions Be Conducted?
This depends on each patient and the technique to be used in a specific case. The physician will determine the application technique and, consequently, the number of necessary sessions. Typically, 5 to 15 sessions are required, with a frequency of once a week. Many feel better after the very first session, while others will have to wait until the fourth session at the latest.
