A three pass treatment can take around 10 – 15 minutes, a five pass 15
to 25 minutes and a ten pass can take up to an hour.

Here it is infused with ozone/oxygen and then returned to you through the vein. This is a one pass.
This procedure is then repeated up to a maximum of ten times depending on the treatment
option you have made.
