Abstract
Considering the great interest of many professionals in the foundation that guides the effective use of ozone therapy in the treatment of aesthetic disorders, this study aims to define the physiological and practical aspects of using the oxygen-ozone mixture to solve aesthetic problems. Exploratory research was carried out, presented in a narrative review, to highlight the action of ozone therapy in the treatment of aesthetic affections. The review explored scientific articles, books, theses, and dissertations published and available in the following databases: MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), PubMed (National Library of Medicine), SCIELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), and LILACS (Latin Literature American and the Caribbean in Health Sciences). In addition, elements that characterize the authors’ clinical experience on ozone therapy in various aesthetic treatment protocols were added. We found several reports in the literature that justify the use of ozone and its different therapeutic modalities in various aesthetic affections, mainly in the treatment of localized fat, cellulite, rejuvenation, skin tissue repair, acne, dyschromia, and others. Through its various therapeutic modalities, we conclude that ozone therapy has added a lot to aesthetic procedures, mainly for its effective supporting action or as the main agent of critical physiological changes to enhance clinical results when treating aesthetic conditions.
Highlights
According to Rubin [1], on March 13, 1839, Christian Schönbein drew attention to the fact that the electrolysis of water causes a characteristic odour developed in the region of the positive electrode of the polarized current
We will describe the physiological aspects that guide the action of ozone directly or indirectly for the treatment of various aesthetic conditions and the treatment protocols described in the literature and commonly found in the Brazilian aesthetics market
We start by describing some important physiological aspects that are directly linked to the action of ozone in various aesthetic conditions to understand its mechanism of action and how we can use it in the treatment
Summary
According to Rubin [1], on March 13, 1839, Christian Schönbein drew attention to the fact that the electrolysis of water causes a characteristic odour developed in the region of the positive electrode of the polarized current. This odor had, existed since the occurrence of lightning in the presence of an oxygen atmosphere on Earth, and this was known as the “odour of electricity” Schönbein proposed the name ozone for the new substance since the word ozone comes from the Greek script for odour, ozein [1]. Besides promoting health, the use of ozone therapy in the treatment of aesthetic dysfunctions is already a reality, with good clinical results, since the beginning of the 2000s, mainly in Russia [7] [8] [9] [10]
