Ozone Therapy (IV Ozone Treatment)
Clinically Delivered Cellular Therapy for Immune, Inflammatory & Regenerative Support
Ozone Therapy is an advanced, medically supervised treatment that uses a carefully controlled oxygen–ozone mixture to stimulate the body’s natural healing and regulatory processes.
At Este Medical Group, we use IV Ozone Therapy (Major Autohaemotherapy) — a clinically recognised method that enhances oxygen utilisation, supports immune balance, and promotes cellular repair.
What Is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone (O₃) is a molecule made up of three oxygen atoms. In medical settings, it is combined with oxygen in precise concentrations and used therapeutically.
Research and clinical use suggest ozone works by:
- Stimulating the body’s antioxidant defence system
- Triggering controlled oxidative responses
- Supporting antimicrobial activity (bacteria, viruses, fungi)
- Enhancing oxygen metabolism
Ozone therapy is not a drug — it works by activating biological pathways, rather than replacing them.
How IV Ozone Therapy Works (Major Autohaemotherapy)
The gold-standard method used in clinics is Major Autohaemotherapy (MAH):
- A small volume of blood is drawn
- It is exposed to a precise oxygen–ozone mixture
- The treated blood is re-infused into the body
This process creates a controlled, temporary oxidative stimulus, which:
- Activates antioxidant enzymes
- Improves oxygen delivery to tissues
- Increases cellular energy (ATP production)
- Stimulates immune signalling pathways
Clinical literature describes this as a form of “controlled oxidative stress” that triggers beneficial biological responses when administered correctly.
Key Biological Effects
Antioxidant Activation
Ozone stimulates the body’s internal antioxidant systems (such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase), helping the body better regulate oxidative stress.
Anti-Inflammatory Response
It may help modulate inflammatory pathways, supporting conditions linked to chronic inflammation.
Antimicrobial & Disinfectant Properties
Ozone has been shown to have bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal effects, disrupting pathogens and reducing microbial load.
Improved Oxygenation & Circulation
Ozone therapy can enhance oxygen release from red blood cells, improving tissue oxygenation and circulation.
Cellular Regeneration
By stimulating biochemical signalling (including hydrogen peroxide-mediated pathways), ozone may support:
- Cell repair
- Tissue regeneration
- Growth factor activity

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes ozone therapy different from oxygen therapy?
Ozone (O₃) contains three oxygen atoms and is far more reactive than standard oxygen (O₂). This allows it to trigger biological responses that standard oxygen alone cannot.
Is ozone therapy safe?
When administered correctly using medical-grade ozone and controlled protocols, it is generally well tolerated. All treatments at Este Medical Group are performed by trained professionals.
How does ozone therapy affect the body?
It creates a controlled oxidative response, which stimulates antioxidant systems, improves oxygen delivery, and activates immune and repair mechanisms.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients follow a course of treatments (often 12–15 sessions), depending on their goals and condition.
Are there any side effects?
Can ozone therapy treat or cure diseases?
Is the treatment painful?
The procedure is similar to a standard IV drip and is generally well tolerated with minimal discomfort.
How quickly will I see results?
Some patients report improvements in energy and wellbeing after a few sessions, while others may require a full course.
