How is ozone body slimming therapy done?
Before the procedure, the patient is sent for examination, during which it is recommended to donate blood for clotting, a general blood test to clarify the current state of the body and make an ECG (if necessary). The volume of the zones into which the drug will be injected is determined during the preliminary consultation.
The duration of the session is from 15 to 30 minutes. The usual course of weight loss is 8-15 procedures. Directly in the beauty parlor:
- The patient is placed on a couch.
- Problem areas are treated with antiseptics. Anesthesia is usually not required, but oversensitive patients may ask for an exception and apply anesthetic cream to the skin.
- An ozone-oxygen mixture is introduced into the selected zone at regular intervals. The length of the needles can be from 4 to 13 mm, it depends on the thickness of the skin and the depth of the fat layer. The syringe is held parallel to the skin, as with conventional subcutaneous injections.
- If the treated area is large or the fatty layer is dense and wide, then hardware injection is used. Several syringes-nozzles are introduced into the problem area at once, installing them at regular intervals. The direction of the needles depends on the problem. Then the compressor is turned on and the medicine is pumped in at the same time.
- After injections, the problem area is again treated with an antiseptic.
Sensations immediately after the injection - burning, bursting from the inside, acute soreness. All this should go through 1, 5-2 minutes after the introduction of the mixture. Because of this sensation, preference should be given to hardware injection: the pain is more pronounced, but subsides faster - all injections were done at the same time. With the gradual introduction of the ozone-oxygen cocktail, discomfort is felt during the entire procedure.
When the painful sensations subside, massage the problem areas, distributing the ozone-oxygen mixture evenly.
Result and side effects of body ozone therapy
After cosmetic procedures in the salon, the visual effect can be seen after 2-3 sessions, it all depends on the individual perception of the medicinal substance and the properties of the skin. If you take pictures before and after the procedure, then it is very difficult to recognize yourself. The skin becomes smooth, stretch marks disappear on it, including white, old ones, the surface is leveled, pustules, if any, peel off.
Let's find out how many times you can do body ozone therapy. To eliminate the fat layer and cellulite, injection courses are done 2 times a year. For preventive purposes, to maintain "shape" - 3 times every 2 years. If this is done more often, then in the future natural collagen and elastin will not be produced, and age-related changes will quickly develop - the elasticity of the skin will decrease, folds will appear. The most problematic is the waist area.
Advertising brochures indicate that there is no rehabilitation period after ozone therapy. This is not entirely true information. Within 2-3 days after the procedure, side effects may appear, which can be mistaken for allergies:
- Skin reaction during ozone therapy - soreness when injected, in the place of pressure, skin resistance during massage (squeak);
- Soreness in the treated areas, persisting for several days - 2-3 days;
- Pinpoint hematomas at the injection site of the needle look like small red spots under the skin.
Side effects of treatment do not require and disappear within 2-3 days after the session.
To avoid disappointment after the procedure, the following guidelines should be followed:
- Until the course of procedures is over, give up tanning and visiting the solarium. You can return to the sun baths only a week after completing the course.
- During the same time, you cannot visit the sauna or bath.
- You should try to avoid drafts, do not sit under the air conditioner until the course of losing weight is over. Temperature changes negatively affect the condition of the skin, cooling slows down the blood supply in the treated area.
Real reviews about the ozone therapy procedure for weight loss
Ozone therapy has many fans, but there are those who consider this method of losing weight ineffective. On the Internet, you can find many conflicting reviews about this procedure.
Elena, 32 years old
After the birth of my second child, I had a noticeable belly and my hips swam. I was never fat and even during both pregnancies I was fit. And here once - and plus 15 kg! I was looking for a reason, I decided that it was all about a hormonal failure. In addition, I am already over thirty, maybe because of my age, there is something disturbed in the body. She went on a diet, began to play sports intensively. And in addition to this, I decided to do ozone therapy, because I wanted quick results. In the clinic, I did several areas at once: abdomen, sides, thighs, buttocks. The abdomen after the first session became less by two centimeters in girth. I was just delighted. However, it should be noted that the procedures are very painful. I barely mastered 4 sessions and gave up this business. But my stretch marks became almost invisible, the cellulite on the buttocks disappeared. Remained problematic inner thigh and a little side. But to remove them, I had to go for another 4-5 procedures, and I could not bear the pain. This is an individual matter - it may be easier for someone, but I couldn't even for the sake of beauty. But in general, I recommend the procedure!
Julia, 29 years old
I've been fighting cellulite for as long as I can remember. Apparently, I have something hereditary, because you cannot say that I am fat, but the orange peel does not go anywhere. I also did various wraps, massages - if there is an effect, then for a short period of time. Therefore, I decided on the ozone therapy procedure. I will warn you right away that the method in my case is effective, but very painful. This is much more effective than the usual anti-cellulite massage, even in combination with body wraps. Anesthetic cream was immediately applied to me, with which I sat for about 40 minutes. Then they pricked me with needles with tubes through which ozone is fed under the skin. It hurts when the gas begins to spread under the skin. The feeling of fullness is very strong and unpleasant. In this case, fat deposits are absorbed, cellulite is destroyed. After the procedure, a slight swelling persists for a couple of days. And in the places of ozone injections one can feel a "crunch", as if you are pressing on the snow on a frosty day. A strange sensation, but no longer painful. I went to the first course of 6 sessions, saw a real result and decided to do ozone therapy regularly. I am already preparing for a new visit.
Irina, 36 years old
I did ozone therapy for the abdomen, thighs, arms. I hoped to lose weight and look younger before the vacation, but in the end I almost died in that clinic. They immediately stabbed my stomach, and I was even surprised because it didn't hurt at all. Then hands - the same story. And when they began to do the hips, the beautician warned that it could be unpleasant. I decided that I didn’t tolerate that, but I was mistaken. The pain was so intense, as if I was being torn apart from the inside. The master explained that this ozone destroys some kind of cellulite ligaments. I barely survived the procedure, somehow left the office, but could not even reach the reception, as I felt weak and dizzy. I almost fainted and seriously thought that I was dying while I was being pumped out with ammonia. Half an hour later, they let me go home, saying that it was probably my reaction to an excess of oxygen. But the horrors did not end there either. On the street I was very freezing, at home I found a strong swelling in the area of the injections and a nasty crunch under the skin. The inflammation disappeared within four days. At this time, I felt like a bloated balloon. And when the puffiness disappeared, I was glad that it was finally over. This procedure had no effect. And for the paid two more, I could not force myself to go.
Photos before and after ozone therapy for weight loss
How ozone therapy is done - watch the video:
When obesity develops for internal reasons - due to hormonal or endocrine dysfunction, metabolic disorders, diseases of the digestive system, ozone therapy will not help to cope with the problem, or the effect of the effects will be short-lived. In this case, it is necessary to establish the cause of the deposition of excess body fat and eliminate it. Cosmetologists advise to be examined in advance - the cost of the procedures is not cheap, and it is very offensive, having paid a lot of money, to understand that the expenses were in vain.
