Ozone Sauna Therapy
At Flow Clinic, we proudly offer ozone oxygen sauna therapy sessions using the innovative HOCATT™ system (Hyperthermic Ozone Transdermal Technology). This 30-minute spa-like experience is designed to harness the remarkable benefits of ozone to support your body’s natural detox and repair process.
The HOCATT™ session includes four key steps:
Step 1: Welcome to the Pod!
As you sit comfortably in the pod with your head outside, you’ll breathe in pure, humidified oxygen. Warm waves of steam envelop your body, gently raising your core temperature to 37–41 degrees Celsius. This hyperthermic effect mimics a fever, stimulating the release of toxins, viruses, infections, and dead or dying cells, helping your body detoxify efficiently.
Step 2: The Ozone Infusion Begins
In this step, ozone is introduced into the pod, where it interacts with the steam to form powerful ozone products on the surface of your skin. Ozone penetrates through your skin and into your bloodstream, delivering a host of benefits, including enhanced oxygen utilization, immune support, and detoxification at a cellular level.
Step 3: Electrotherapy
Using the Rife machine, electrotherapy delivers specialised microcurrents and frequencies. These gentle electrical impulses stimulate muscle contractions, enhancing circulation and promoting lymphatic drainage. This process helps reduce fluid retention, alleviate aches and pains, and target areas of tension, further amplifying the overall benefits of the HOCATT™ session.
Step 4: The Finishing Touch
As the session concludes, your body continues to benefit from the residual effects of ozone therapy, leaving you feeling revitalized, detoxified, and energized.
The HOCATT™ system provides a cutting-edge, integrative approach to wellness, with ozone therapy as the cornerstone of its transformative process. Let us help you unlock your body’s potential for repair, resilience, and renewal.
When it comes to healing the body, ozone can be effective in a number of different ways including:
-
Inactivating bacteria, fungi, yeast and viruses. Making it effective in healing wounds, stopping the spread of infection and treating fungal conditions such as Candida.
-
Increasing the amount of oxygen released to the tissues, which can help aid the healing of inflammation and injured muscles.
-
Slowing down the ageing process. Ozone amplifies cells' ability to produce collagen and elastin, two proteins that provide your skin with strength, elasticity and reduce wrinkles.
-
Speeds up metabolic process of inner organs and endocrine glands resulting in a loss of 500-700 calories in a 30 minute sessions.
-
Increasing respiratory rate. Ozone can be used to treat respiratory disorders as it can increase the airway resistance and respiratory rate whilst reducing maximal transpulmonary pressure and decreasing tidal volume.
-
Stimulate the body’s immune system and supports the body’s ability to heal and renew itself.
What's ozone therapy all about?
Ozone Therapy using the HOCATT sauna pod is a health treatment that utilises a combination of oxygen, ozone, heat, micro-currents to increase oxygenation and circulation, stimulating the body's natural detoxification processes. Ozone assists to oxidise toxins so they can be eliminated through the skin, lungs, kidneys and colon.
Flow Clinic uses the HOCATT plus Ozone Pod which involves administering Ozone (O3) into the pod through warm waves of steam while your head is sticking out the pod you are breathing medical grade oxygen (O2). The steam released inside the pod warms and relaxes the body which dilates the blood vessels for easy transportation of oxygen throughout the body. The HOCATT pod has the added benefits of Electrotherapy and Colour Therapy.

Medication and Ozone TherapyIf you are taking any medication it is advisable to take your medication four hours prior and four hours post treatment as ozone therapy neutralises chemicals. If you have recently finished taking a strong course of medication we recommend discussing this with the Flow Clinic team prior to booking an ozone treatment. For the 48 hours after ozone therapy we advise that you refrain from drinking alcohol or using heavy drugs.
-
How should I prepare for ozone therapy?What to wear? This is something we are often asked. We suggest something casual to and from the clinic as the ozone therapy has a sauna like effect so you will perspire. We also suggest you don’t shower or bathe for up to three hours post treatment as the ongoing benefits of the ozone continue after you have finished your treatment. Once you arrive at the clinic you will be shown to a private room where your treatment takes place. You are given a towel and a neck gown. You are then left to remove your clothing, wrap your towel and put the neck gown on. The therapist will re-enter and guide you as to position within the pod and will talk you through the process.
-
Are there any side effects?There aren’t any side effects unless ozone is inhaled directly and then it can irritate the lung’s mucous membrane and cause coughing, nausea, vomiting, headaches or the Herxheimer reaction (flu-like symptoms). These are temporary side effects, however through proper administration the risk of inhaling the ozone directly is minimal.
-
Is ozone therapy safe?As with any treatment if it isn’t properly administered there are potential risks. And the same applies to ozone therapy - breathing in medical-grade ozone, even in low doses can be harmful, which is why it is so important to visit a clinic such as Flow Clinic where the treatments are overseen by trained therapists who have extensive experience in administering ozone therapy.
-
How long does a session last and how many sessions will I need?Each session lasts 30 minutes but we suggest that you allow yourself 45 minutes. During your initial consultation we will discuss how many sessions you need to receive the maximum benefits for your condition.
-
Can anyone have ozone therapy?Yes, ozone therapy is suitable for everyone, whether you are looking to help heal a certain condition or just want ozone therapy to help prevent the effects of ageing. We adjust the programme, for example, the temperature, ozone percentage and electrocurrent control to suit your needs.
