Ozone Therapy in Czechia

CO2 gas injections (carboxytherapy) involve the subcutaneous or intra-tissue injection of medical-grade carbon dioxide directly into painful areas. At Bolest Brno, the treatment is performed by the clinic's interventional algesiologists as part of the pain management programme. The physiological mechanism is well-documented: injected CO2 triggers a localised reflex response — blood vessels dilate, circulation increases, muscle spasm decreases, and local metabolic waste is cleared — all of which contribute to reduced pain intensity. Sessions are brief (around 15–20 minutes), and a course of 10 applications given 1–2 times per week is standard. At 150 Kč per application, CO2 injections represent one of the most cost-effective interventional options at the clinic and are often used as part of a multimodal treatment plan.

High-dose intravenous vitamin C at Bolest Brno is administered in the clinic's supervised infusion ward — a dedicated day-hospital space furnished with comfortable therapeutic armchairs and heated beds equipped with magnetic field therapy. A single-vial session delivers a concentrated dose of ascorbic acid directly into the bloodstream, bypassing intestinal absorption limits and achieving plasma concentrations unreachable by oral supplementation. The infusion ward setting means patients receive IV therapy while resting comfortably and, if desired, alongside the benefits of the magnetic field in the therapeutic beds. The treatment is used to support the immune system, address fatigue associated with chronic pain, and provide general restorative benefit. A two-vial session at 1 500 Kč is the alternative for patients requiring a higher dose.

The ozone bag (ozonový vak) delivers ozone gas directly to a specific body area — typically a limb, wound, or skin zone — by enclosing it in a sealed bag through which medical-grade ozone is circulated. The skin absorbs ozone transdermally, achieving high local ozone concentrations without systemic circulation. This makes the ozone bag the treatment of choice for skin conditions, chronic wounds, venous leg ulcers, acne, eczema, fungal infections, and post-injury tissue repair. At Amazing Medical the session runs for 30–45 minutes depending on the area treated.

PRIVAMED's radiology department performs CT-guided pain-management injections of spinal nerve roots (periradicular therapy) and facet joints for chronic back and radicular leg pain, with ozone application available as a published self-pay add-on at 1,200 Kč. Under CT navigation, the radiologist places the needle with millimetre precision at the affected nerve root or facet joint and applies an ozone-oxygen mixture, which is associated with anti-inflammatory effects and, in disc-related root compression, with shrinkage of herniated disc material. CT guidance means the injection reaches exactly the structure generating the pain — a key advantage over blind or landmark-guided injections. The procedure is outpatient, takes well under an hour including positioning and control scans, and is performed within a full acute-care hospital with the standard radiology booking pathway.

Ozone Infusion Therapy at IKM Institut delivers medical-grade ozone dissolved in sterile physiological saline (NaCl) directly into the bloodstream via intravenous infusion. Unlike ozone autohemotherapy, which requires drawing and re-infusing the patient's own blood, this method uses pre-ozonated saline — simpler, equally effective, and more comfortable for most clients. The ozone concentration triggers natural regulatory cascades: improving tissue oxygenation, reducing inflammation, and activating cellular energy production. Sessions last 30–45 minutes in a comfortable reclining chair, with continuous monitoring by a trained nurse throughout. IKM specifically recommends this protocol for athletes in heavy training phases, longevity-focused clients pursuing cellular anti-aging, and those recovering from illness or chronic fatigue. A series of 5–10 sessions is standard, with clients typically booking 1–2 sessions per week during an intensive block before moving to a lower maintenance frequency.

Rectal ozone insufflation is a non-invasive method of systemic ozone delivery in which a precise volume of medical-grade ozone gas is introduced rectally, where it is absorbed rapidly through the intestinal mucosa into the portal circulation and then into the systemic bloodstream. This route bypasses the need for any venepuncture, making it especially suitable for clients with difficult venous access or a strong preference to avoid IV procedures. The intestinal absorption of ozone provides a broad systemic effect — anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunostimulating — with a profile similar to IV ozone but delivered through a different pathway.

Ozone Therapy at Body Factory Olomouc applies controlled ozone and nitrogen oxide discharge topically to treat a range of skin and scalp conditions. The studio uses a specialist device with interchangeable applicators including a comb electrode for scalp work. The full 90-minute treatment can be configured for acne-prone skin, osmotic skin care, scalp oiliness or dandruff, post-depilation skin calming, nail bed care, or pore tightening when combined with ultrasonic tools. Ozone's strong oxidative action disrupts bacterial membranes and accelerates cellular turnover, while nitrogen oxide supports healing and inflammation modulation. A 20-minute standalone ultrasonic skin cleansing combined with ozone discharge is also available as an add-on or introductory session.

Ozone infusion delivers a measured volume of ozone-enriched saline (100–250 ml) directly into the bloodstream via IV drip, providing a systemic ozone stimulus without the need for blood extraction. A small volume of the patient's blood is gently ozonated and then reintroduced within the saline carrier, giving the body an ozone impulse for immune activation, tissue oxygenation, and metabolic support. At Amazing Medical, this is the most accessible entry point into systemic ozone therapy — less intensive than the 10-pass protocol but suitable for regular maintenance, general immune strengthening, and recovery from fatigue or illness.

Ozone therapy at REGEVITA uses an oxygen-ozone (O₂/O₃) mixture delivered intravenously via the autotransfusion method — the technique most widely used in clinical practice and the signature offering of MUDr. Milan Veselý, who has practised ozone medicine in the Czech Republic since 1978. A measured volume of the patient's own blood is withdrawn, enriched with medical-grade ozone, and re-infused, where it interacts with red blood cells and plasma proteins to release reactive oxygen species. These molecules activate cellular antioxidant defences, modulate the immune cascade, and enhance erythrocyte flexibility — improving oxygen delivery to tissues that need it most. The clinic also offers direct-tissue ozone injection, rectal insufflation, and ozone baths, giving practitioners the full toolkit for condition-specific protocols.

Aura Medical Clinic has offered medically supervised ozone therapy since its founding, delivered either as a 30–45-minute IV ozone infusion or as major autohemotherapy — a protocol where approximately 150 ml of the patient's blood is drawn, enriched with a precise O2-O3 mixture, and re-infused. At therapeutic concentrations of 0.5–5% ozone in oxygen (measured in micrograms per ml), the treatment may support circulation, immune function, antimicrobial defence, and cellular oxygen uptake. The clinic's integrative physicians select the appropriate delivery method based on the patient's health status, with additional options including ozonated water for gastric support, topical ozone preparations for wound or skin applications, and rectal insufflation for specific conditions. All protocols are administered under direct physician supervision by MUDr. Peter Hajduk and his team.

The clinic's most intensive ozone protocol, 10-pass hemotherapy extracts up to 200 ml of blood, saturates it with medical-grade ozone under hyperbaric pressure in a closed aseptic circuit, and reinfuses it — repeating the cycle ten times in a single session. Unlike the simpler one-pass variant, the repeated passes deliver a cumulative ozone dose that research by Dr. Johann Lahodny has linked to activation of the body's endogenous stem cells and the acceleration of tissue repair mechanisms. At Amazing Medical this is delivered using specialised hyperbaric ozone equipment and performed by a physician under aseptic clinical conditions. The session is suited to clients with chronic or complex health conditions where deeper systemic activation is the goal.

Altos Klinika offers a broad medical ozone therapy programme — from intravenous ozone infusions and ozone mesotherapy to protocols for acne, slow-healing wounds, diabetic foot problems, joint complaints and body-fat correction — all priced at a flat 5,000 Kč per session. Ozone-oxygen mixtures are applied by trained staff in a clinical setting.

Komeda's flagship therapy is high-dose 10-pass ozone autohemotherapy (OHT), delivered with a German Hyper Medozon comfort hyperbaric ozone device. In each pass, 150–200 ml of the patient's blood is drawn, enriched with an oxygen–ozone mixture under aseptic conditions and re-infused; the cycle is repeated ten times in a single ~60-minute session. The centre also offers single-pass autohemotherapy, intravenous ozonated saline, and local, rectal and vaginal ozone applications. Ozone therapy is used by the clinic as a complementary approach for immune support, circulation and recovery; a doctor consultation precedes treatment.
