Abstract
Ozone therapy using the Vapozone 9, an instrument in normal
commercial usage, has been carried out on the forehead of 16 male
test persons on 7 consecutive days. Before the treatment began and at
the end of the treatment period the skin surface lipids on the
unchanged skin (casual level) and two hours after defatting the skin
(replacement sum) were taken by direct extraction and analysed by
means of thin layer chromatography. The results of these
investigations rule out a decrease in the free fatty acids by this
therapy. As a result of this finding it may assumed that no
desinfecting effect on the corynebacterium acnes and other
lipasereleasing microorganisms can be attributed to ozone therapy.
