Trying something new can feel a little intimidating, especially when it involves your blood. Knowing what to expect makes it easier.
Here's a step-by-step guide to your first ozone UV IV session at iCRYO Mauldin.
Quick answer: Your first ozone UV IV starts with screening, which may include tests like G6PD. On treatment day, an IV is placed, a small amount of your blood is drawn, treated with medical-grade ozone and UV light in a closed system and returned to you. Afterward, most people return to their day.

Screening
Before your first session, our medical team will:
- Review your health history and medications
- Check for reasons ozone therapy may not be safe
- Order any required tests, such as G6PD screening
Tip: Complete screening ahead of time so you're ready on treatment day.
