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.

Before Your Session

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.

How to prepare

  • Hydrate well, since good hydration helps with the blood draw. The summer heat makes this extra important.
  • Eat a light meal beforehand
  • Wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that roll up
  • Bring something to do to pass the time

During Your Session

  1. Check-in and vitals
  2. IV placement: a quick pinch
  3. Blood draw: a small amount is collected in a sterile container
  4. Ozone and UV: medical-grade ozone is mixed with the blood and passed through UV light
  5. Return: the blood is returned through your IV

Everything happens in a closed, sterile system.
