The procedure is based on the intense exposure of ultraviolet rays, which have a certain wavelength (usually in the range of 400 to 180 nm). This wave penetrates the mucous membrane or skin to a depth of not more than 1 mm.
UFO has an effective disinfectant effect, as the rays of the ultraviolet range can kill many bacteria and viruses. In response to the procedure, the patient's body begins to secrete special substances that contribute to:
- improving blood circulation;
- enhancing cell nutrition;
- increase cell permeability;
- enhancing the action of enzymes;
