Oxygen therapy

Often, oxygen therapy is used for medical purposes in the treatment of hypoxia, various forms of respiratory failure, in violation of cardiac activity and certain types of wound infections, to saturate tissues with oxygen and accelerate regeneration processes.

Also widespread use of oxygen, especially ozone therapy found in cosmetology.

Ozone therapy

At the moment, the most common method of oxygen therapy in cosmetology is oxygen therapy. It consists in the introduction into the body of triatomic (O3) molecules, which are one of the modifications of oxygen. These molecules are unstable, easily decompose into ordinary oxygen with the release of heat, are able to spontaneously enter into a significant number of reactions, which causes its high toxicity. Therefore, ozone therapy requires great caution, as it exceeds the permissible concentration, it can irritate and damage tissues when inhaled, promote the formation of atherosclerotic plaques due to interaction with cholesterol, and the formation of stable insoluble compounds, and inhibit reproductive function in men. But in this case, ozone is an effective antibacterial and anti-mold.

Ozone therapy is used as one of the means for the treatment of cellulitis, acne, vascular asterisks, various dermatological diseases, to achieve a rejuvenating effect, correction of facial wrinkles, double chin, for the prevention of aging.

Contraindications to the use of ozone therapy are recent, especially internal hemorrhages, hemorrhagic stroke, decreased blood clotting, reduced platelets, intoxications of any nature.

Oxygen therapy for the face

There are several methods of oxygen therapy used for facial skin. Ozonotherapy for rejuvenating or fighting acne is to conduct a course of special subcutaneous oxygen-ozone microinjection on problem points (wrinkles, folds, sites of inflammation).

There is also a non-injection method used to improve the tone of the skin, giving it a healthy color and illuminating effect. The method is that a special emulsion or gel is applied to the face, and then a jet of saturated (about 98%) oxygen under high pressure is applied through the nozzle to the skin using a special device.

Oxygen cocktails

Another form of oxygen therapy is oxygen cocktails (singlet-oxygen therapy), which are an oxygenated drink. To create a drink use food foaming agents (most often - licorice root). For a better health effect in such cocktails sometimes add vitamin complexes.

It is believed that the oxygen cocktail has toning properties, can contribute to the elimination of hypoxia, chronic fatigue syndrome, activation of cellular metabolism by saturation of cells with oxygen. The taste of such cocktails depends solely on the components of the base and additives, since oxygen itself has no taste and smell.

Justify the benefits of these cocktails in that through the stomach and digestive tract, the absorption of oxygen is several times faster than from the lungs, and thus saturates the cells and provokes a stimulating effect.

Whether this is so, everyone can check personally, especially no contraindications to the use of oxygen cocktails does not exist. Such cocktails are considered absolutely harmless and allowed to be consumed by pregnant women and preschool children.
