How is Ozone Therapy Applied? Methods and Process

How ozone therapy is applied This question is the biggest barrier in the minds of our patients who have heard about the benefits of this treatment but are afraid that it is a “bloody procedure”. Concerns such as “Will my blood be taken and washed?”, “Will ozone gas burn the vein?” actually occur because the technical details of the procedure are not known. Whereas Istanbul Nisantasi Medlook Polyclinic‘s new generation closed systems, ozone therapy is a comfortable, sterile and painless process that you can have while drinking your coffee during your lunch break.

Yesterday we published What is Ozone Therapy? we talked about the miraculous effects of this molecule. Today, we open the doors of the laboratory and enter the kitchen of the procedure. We explain all methods from major (major) application to minor (vaccine) application, from local injections to ozone sauna, step by step from a patient's point of view.

Ozone Therapy Methods: There is No Single Way

Ozone can be administered to the body in different ways depending on whether a systemic (whole body) or local (regional) effect is desired. Medlook physicians determine the most appropriate route for your complaint.

1. Major Autohemotherapy (Gold Standard)

It is the most common method and has the strongest effect. It is popularly known as “Blood Washing” or “Youth Vaccine”.

• Process: Approximately 100 cc (about one teacup) of blood is collected from the patient into a sterile glass bottle with a special vacuum.
• Ozonation A prescribed dose (gamma) of medical ozone gas is introduced into the vial. As soon as the ozone comes into contact with the blood, the reaction starts and the color of the blood changes from dark red to a bright, vivid red.
• Back Yield: The ozonized blood is returned to the patient through the same vein.
• Feeling: The procedure is a completely closed system, the blood does not come into contact with the external environment. No pain or burning is felt. Total duration is 15-20 minutes.

2. Minor Autohemotherapy (Immunization)

It is used for more specific conditions (acne, allergies, asthma).

• Process: Only 2-5 cc (one syringe) of blood is taken from the patient.
• Implementation: This blood is mixed with ozone and injected into the muscle (usually in the buttock).
• Impact The body perceives this as a “stimulus” and specifically activates the immune system.

3. Local (Regional) Applications

The aching joint or problem area is targeted.

• Intra-articular In cases of knee arthritis (gonarthrosis) or meniscus tears, ozone gas is introduced directly into the joint cavity.
• Lipolysis (Slimming): Ozone is injected into the belly or hip area where stubborn fats are located to break down the fat walls.

4. Bagging and Ozone Sauna (Transdermal)

It is used in patients who cannot have intravenous access or in diabetic foot wounds (wounds that do not close). Ozone gas is brought into contact with the skin in a special bag or cabinet. Ozone absorbed through the skin pores accelerates healing.
