Hello Doctor, I am Rahul 30 years of age from kolkata. Now a days I am suffering from heavy hair fall. Someone told me about the Ozone treatment. So I asked about this kind of treatment. Is this is safe? Or I have to take any dermatologist/ skin specialist to take this treatment. Can this machine be purchased from any shop/ online stores? If so then pls prescribed the usage. Thank you.

Ozone therapy for hair has widely been acknowledged for its effectiveness in treating hair and scalp problems like dandruff, hair fall, hair thinning and damage. These hair problems are mainly caused due to factors like ageing, hormonal imbalance, poor hair care, unhealthy diet, illnesses and infections, genetic traits, pollution and other external factors, which generally dehydrate or infect the scalp to further weaken and damage the hair follicles. Ozone with its unstable molecule containing three oxygen atoms has high oxidising properties and releases free oxygen radicals on being injected in any part of the body like the scalp. The scalp and hair on being infused with ozone get oxidised leading to the formation of peptones on the hair shaft located in the middle of the strands. A protective layer, like the ozone layer guarding the earth?s atmosphere, is formed over each hair strand by peptones that safe guard the hair from breakage, damage and fall. This treatment is provided with the help of machines, combs, ozone creams etc in salons, spas, clinics and by dermatologists.
