The effect of ozone on problem areas of the skin
The penetration of ozone under the skin helps improve microcirculation in the subcutaneous fat, this process leads to increased metabolism in tissues. Under the influence of ozone, fats are broken down, toxins are removed, and free radicals are neutralized. In the cellulite area, fibrous capsules break down, which create the unaesthetic, bumpy appearance of the skin.
Ozone relieves inflammation in the injection area, which is why it is often used after plastic surgery.
The effectiveness of ozone therapy in losing belly fat
Ozone therapy is a low-impact method of removing local fat deposits. It consists of introducing an oxygen-ozone mixture into the human body through a vein or under the skin. The principle of action of this substance is based on its high oxidizing and reducing properties.
Intravenous or subcutaneous injections of ozone help improve the transport function of the blood and ensure immediate reaction with molecules of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition, injections lead to the destruction of fibrous fat cell membranes and provoke emulsification of lipids.
Thus, ozone therapy of the abdomen allows you to get rid of cellulite, stretch marks and local fat deposits. Depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, after the full course there is a decrease in body volume of up to 10 cm.
Operating principle
Ozone has specific properties, thanks to which it is effectively used by cosmetologists. Easily penetrating into the cells of organic tissues, the substance ensures the performance of transport functions, activation of metabolic processes, and restoration of nutrition. Already after the first sessions, resorption of the fat layer and an increase in skin elasticity are noted. Exposure to ozone ensures the transformation of dense fat cells into an emulsion, and oxygen accelerates metabolic processes.
Due to the uniform distribution of the oxygen-ozone mixture (95% oxygen and 5% ozone), massage of problem areas in the abdominal area is provided. Thanks to the stimulation of the ozone cocktail, the following processes occur in the body:
- stimulation of fat burning;
- further independent burning of fat using the body’s resources;
- elimination of stretch marks and cellulite;
- reduction in the volume of adipose tissue.
Carrying out ozone therapy
A mixture of ozone and oxygen is injected under the skin into the most problematic areas using thin needles (from 4 to 13 mm). When ozone penetrates the skin, the patient feels expansion of the tissue in the puncture area, sometimes a slight burning sensation and pain, but this more often occurs when high concentrations of ozone are administered. Discomfort goes away quite quickly, within 2 minutes after administration.
The number of sessions depends on the stage of cellulite and the woman’s body type. A course of ozone therapy generally includes 8-15 sessions. The most optimal number of procedures per week is 2. The skin needs time to adapt. After 2 weeks, you will be able to notice positive changes in your skin.
If you follow all the rules when carrying out procedures and properly care for problem areas, the effect of such therapy will last up to 3 years. To maintain good skin condition for as long as possible, you should lead a healthy lifestyle, eat right and exercise.
Three arguments to undergo ozone therapy for cellulite at NEARMEDIC
Highly qualified doctors
In the NEARMEDIC network, ozone therapy is carried out by certified certified specialists who are fluent in the necessary manipulation skills. When you undergo cellulite treatment with ozone therapy in clinics with a good reputation (NIARMEDIC - winner of the Moscow Quality, Consumer Recognition awards, first place in the rating of private clinics in Moscow in 2016), you can be sure of the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
A complex approach
NEARMEDIC offers its patients a wide range of cellulite treatments. In addition to ozone therapy, doctors have in their arsenal such modern effective methods of non-surgical correction as mesotherapy, microcurrent therapy, roller-vacuum massage, LPG, electromyostimulation and others.
Loyal cost of the procedure
From the point of view of the price-to-effect ratio, ozone therapy is one of the most budget-friendly and cost-effective ways to get rid of cellulite and shape your figure.
Contraindications
No foreign substances are introduced into the patient’s body, however, the influence of this method is quite large, and in some cases can cause negative consequences. Contraindications to ozone therapy include:
- poor blood clotting;
- neoplasms;
- problems with the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- endocrine diseases;
- mental illness;
- epilepsy;
- ozone intolerance.
Recommendations for increasing the effectiveness of the procedure
- The result of the procedure becomes noticeable after 4 sessions. Many people give up after this, because the injections are quite painful. You should not stop, you need to complete the course to the end to maintain the effect for a longer time.
- Ozone therapy may be the only way to combat “orange peel” if the disease is at stages 1–2. In other cases, additional techniques should be used aimed at enhancing and prolonging the effect of ozone therapy - for example, lymphatic drainage performed immediately after the procedure (this will improve the outflow of lymph in the problem area).
- Diet adherence is one of the main criteria for the effectiveness of the procedure. You should not eat fatty foods, smoked foods, sweets (cakes, rolls), white bread, or alcoholic drinks. For those who prefer instant coffee, it is recommended to switch to natural coffee and drink no more than 1 - 2 mugs per day. You should drink about 2.5 - 3 liters of water per day.
- Moderate physical exercise, performed regularly, helps improve mood and long-term preservation of the results of ozone therapy. Exercises should be selected in such a way as to increase blood circulation in the problem area.
After some time, which is determined by the cosmetologist, it is recommended to repeat the course of ozone therapy to prevent the development of cellulite.
The essence of the technique
During the procedure, ozone is injected under the skin. By its nature, it is an active, unstable element consisting of three oxygen molecules. Once it enters the body, the molecule breaks down into individual particles. They have a beneficial effect on the specific organ into which they were introduced (in cosmetology this is the skin of the face, but in medicine ozone is often used to treat hair, joints or other diseases).
Cosmetologists use two types of procedures, which differ little in essence:
● the gas mixture is administered in the form of injections;
● ozonated oil acts as a base for cosmetic products.
Injections work much faster than oils and are highly targeted. If you introduce a gas mixture through a needle, it instantly reaches the desired cells and tissues. They are saturated with oxygen and start all recovery processes.
Oils with added ozone act more slowly, because they are applied to the surface of the skin, and not to the desired depth. The effect of oils is much less, but this type of procedure has its advantages:
● can be used after completion of the course to support results;
● a specialist is not required for application to the skin;
● can be used at home;
● no side effects or contraindications.
The third type of ozone therapy procedure for the face for acne and age-related changes is an integrated approach, when several types of treatment alternate. First, gas injections or saline with ozone are administered intravenously, which affect the entire body. They activate the natural processes of cell and tissue renewal. After the process of internal rejuvenation starts, doctors use another portion of ozone - but for external use. Since only a small fraction of the oxygen from the injection reaches the facial tissues locally, ozonation oil is applied to the face for local use.
Complex procedures work effectively, but they can only be used with the permission of the attending physician. It is he who determines the number of required sessions and their duration:
● to combat acne, a dermatologist prescribes 4-6 procedures, but sometimes their number increases to 10 or 15;
● to combat age-related changes, the doctor advises taking a course of 10 procedures and repeating it after six months.
Cost of the procedure
The cost of one procedure for one zone ranges from 500 to 4500 rubles, on average 2000 rubles. Considering that a course of therapy requires about 12 procedures, its cost will be approximately 20,000 rubles. Of course, the cost depends on the status of the clinic offering ozone therapy services.

Comments
- Valentincha | 2015-12-09 15:25:23 I have tried a lot of methods to combat cellulite in my time. Sports and nutrition are great, but such measures prevent the development of new cellulite, but unfortunately they do not fight the old one. I went to all sorts of massages, and paid a lot of money for the sessions, because all this was done in courses of 10-15 procedures. I’m generally silent about creams and wraps; I myself understood that they wouldn’t help, but in a state of despair I tried all this on myself. When I found out about ozone therapy, I decided that this would be my last experiment, it wouldn’t help, and I wouldn’t do anything else. But I was specifically surprised when, after the fifth procedure, my scab began to smooth out on my thighs and butt! Now in a week I will go to take the second course, I think that after it I will get rid of the orange on my legs forever!
Preparing for the session
Preparing for your first ozone therapy session for the chin or entire face is not difficult. However, the recommendations should not be neglected. You should start preparing by visiting a specialized doctor so that he can assess the problem, identify its cause and propose a safe treatment plan. To get rid of some skin ailments, additional tests are required so that the doctor has a more complete picture of the patient’s health.
Immediately before the procedure, you should completely give up alcohol and smoking. Experts advise that during the course you completely switch to a healthy lifestyle, that is, you will have to change both the set of products and your leisure time.
If the patient takes any other medications, it is important to clarify whether the effect of the medication will lead to a weakening of the effectiveness. For example, all medications that cause blood clotting are automatically included in the prohibited list, since ozone therapy accelerates blood flow.
Cosmetological indications for ozone therapy
Inflammations on the skin.
Dermatitis and acne often become an external manifestation of “problems” in the body. The immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of ozone make it possible to influence both the effect (skin inflammation) and the cause.
Cuperosis.
Ozone causes overgrowth of dilated capillaries, and very quickly - within a few hours after administration. The vascular network on the face and neck turns pale and then disappears without a trace.
Stretch marks, scars.
Peeling the skin around scar formations improves the appearance of the scar, especially fresh ones.
Dark spots.
Ozone helps get rid of hyperpigmentation of various types and origins due to the rapid regeneration of healthy skin cells without excess melanin.
Age-related signs of skin aging.
Injections are performed using the mesotherapy technique, only instead of a meso cocktail, three-dimensional oxygen is introduced. The skin is saturated with oxygen, the process of forming a new collagen-elastin framework is launched - a lifting effect is ensured.
Alopecia.
Ozone subcutaneous injections activate the activity of hair follicles, bring them to the growth stage, normalize the condition of the scalp, and eliminate excess sebum secretion.
Cellulite.
Our experts note: when carrying out local ozone therapy, even complex areas with fibrosclerosis and edema can be corrected. O3 destroys the sclerotic capsules in which adipocytes are located and helps normalize fat, carbohydrate and protein metabolism.
In addition, ozone therapy can become relevant when it is necessary to accelerate wound healing, eliminate bags under the eyes, swelling, increase overall tone, and relieve chronic fatigue.
Possible complications
The procedure in some cases can lead to the development of problems in addition to cellulite:
- Pain and burning at the injection sites , which normally do not last longer than a couple of hours. They may linger for 2 - 3 days.
- Edema , which in most cases is present for a short time. It can bother you for several days, and if it doesn’t go away after 2 days, you need to go to the doctor.
- Hematomaslocalized in places where the skin is damaged by a needle. They go away in 5 - 6 days.
- Development of infection , which is possible due to insufficient sterility during the procedure. Additional measures will be needed here.
- Allergies to ozone . This is a rare case, manifested by swelling and rashes on the skin in the area where the substance was administered.
Advantages and disadvantages of the method
During its use, ozone therapy against cellulite has become known for several advantages:
- does not last long and does not cause much discomfort,
- after it there is no need for long-term rehabilitation,
- the possibility of complications from the procedure is minimal,
- the effect is pronounced and under certain conditions lasts a long time.
This method of eliminating “orange peel” also has disadvantages:
- some patients may experience pain that lasts quite a long time,
- the procedure involves damage to the skin, and therefore the possibility of infection and other complications,
- the result will be noticeable after several sessions, and not immediately,
- The method has been used recently, so its long-term consequences are unknown.
Features of treatment
The use of ozone to combat unsightly bumps on the abdomen, arms, thighs and buttocks is rightly called “non-surgical liposuction”. The technique is as follows: so-called medical ozone (a therapeutic mixture consisting of 95% oxygen, another 5% from ordinary ozone) is injected into the deep layers of the skin.
Injection can be carried out in different ways - using a dropper, a series of single injections, an injection is also done using a special nozzle equipped with many thin needles.
Important!
It is a known fact that a person who inhales pure ozone can easily burn the mucous membrane of the lungs, but a mixture of oxygen and ozone has a lot of healing properties.
Rehabilitation
After subcutaneous injections of an ozone-oxygen mixture, there is no rehabilitation as such. Sometimes papules remain on the skin (from injections), swelling and slight hyperemia may occur. All side effects go away quickly. Most patients continue with their planned activities immediately after the procedure.
Some people experience drowsiness, slight dizziness, and weakness. Remember the feeling when you breathe in fresh air filled with ozone after a thunderstorm. It's about the same here. Symptoms of ozone “oversaturation” disappear within a few hours.
