HIGH FREQUENCY OZONATION

OZONATION INDICATIONS Creates oxidation which eliminates infectious agents (e.g. Staphylococcus in acne)  Provides a deep level of skin cleansing, clear pore penetration and eliminates redness and uneven skin tone  Anti-Flammatory great for razor burn and bug bites  Eliminates bacteria and reduces inflammation  Oxygenates to maintain healthier skin, radiant color 

OZONATION PRINCIPLES The highest yield (výnos) of ozone production results from high voltage, high frequency, large dielectric constant and thin dielectric.  High frequency ozongenerator has invented Nikola Tesla on 1896.  The main principle of ozonizer consists of corona discharge effect. It's kind of electrical discharge in gas 

INTRODUCTORY MOVIE 

Corona discharge is kind of barrier discharge it occurs between two dielectrics or a dielectric and the metal in the AC circuit. It is an effective and economical ozone generator.

CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES Corona discharge breaks the dioxygen O2 in atomic oxygen O. Atomic oxygen is the strongest antioxidant representative. It is unstable. The distribution dictates that most of the atomic oxygen will recombine back into O2 emitting blue light and some will combine with O2 to make O3. Ozone is also unstable, and flammable and will inevitably (nevyhnutelně) break back down into O2 again  All three types of oxidized and distort pathogenic microorganisms. 

OZONE TOXICITY Ozone has excellent results in topical treatment.

But it is an irritant of the mucous membranes and the lungs.  If the portable high frequency unit is operated in an open environment there is no chance that ozone can build up to levels which would be harmful.  Further, the quantity of ozone generated by the portable high frequency unit during a most severe application is lower than the lowest levels at which any sign of physical effect can be seen 
