What it is
How the treatment works
Medical ozone is a mixture of oxygen and ozone at controlled concentrations, used for therapeutic purposes. It acts on three fronts: it modulates inflammation, improves the way tissues use oxygen, and stimulates the body's natural defence systems.
It's one of this clinic's signature treatments. Our founder chairs the Portuguese Society of Ozone Therapy, and ozone therapy has been practised here for over fifteen years, always by specialised nursing staff and according to international protocols.
Who it's for
Situations where it usually helps
This treatment usually makes sense in the following situations:
Persistent inflammation, with or without associated pain
Recurrent infections and lowered immunity
Circulation issues, especially in the legs
Prolonged joint and muscle pain
Marked fatigue, once other causes have been ruled out
General revitalisation and prevention programmes
What happens during the session
What to expect on the day
There are several routes of administration and your doctor will choose the one that makes sense for your case. The most common are intravenous hyperbaric ozone, given in successive passes; minor autohemotherapy, in which a small amount of your blood is treated and returned; and local applications.
The session takes place in the treatment room, seated and comfortable, and usually lasts between 20 and 45 minutes. It's very common to combine ozone with a vitamin C infusion in the same protocol; in that case the total time increases.
How many sessions
How many sessions, and how far apart
Ozone therapy works in cycles rather than isolated sessions.
5–10
sessions per cycle
1–2
sessions per week
The exact number, concentration and interval are decided at consultation and adjusted along the way.
Afterwards
After the session
- Most people resume their day normally right afterwards and can drive.
- It's common to feel more energy in the following hours.
- Some people notice mild tiredness after the first sessions, which tends to pass as the cycle progresses.
- We recommend drinking plenty of water for the rest of the day.
Contraindications and safety
Safety
Ozone therapy is not indicated in certain specific clinical situations, namely:
- Certain blood disorders
- Uncontrolled thyroid changes
People with diabetes or hypertension can do ozone therapy with increased monitoring, because medication needs may change during the cycle.
That's why the prior medical evaluation isn't a formality: it's what makes the treatment safe.
Frequently asked questions
Ozone from pollution, when inhaled, irritates the airways. Medical ozone is a different thing: it's produced from pure medicinal oxygen, at a controlled concentration, and is never administered by the respiratory route.
In most cases, yes. Bring your full list of medication to the consultation, including supplements.
Some health insurers cover certain treatments. Our administrative team can help you understand your case.
Some people do, others only from the third or fourth session onwards. It's a treatment that works cumulatively.
