Ozone therapy is considered a complementary therapy that uses ozone gas as a therapeutic agent. It is a procedure that has been shown to be effective in several pathologies, and currently much explored for aesthetic dysfunctions. In recent years, the search for excellence in beauty standards, and aesthetic fashions increasingly lasting and safe is a constant. Numerous procedures are considered to reduce the double chin, but it is extremely important that the performing professional is attentive to the patient’s conditions and chooses the ideal treatment and is able to apply the appropriate technique, so that there is personal satisfaction and clinical success. With the growth in the interest of harmonization and orofacial therapy, ozone treatments have been standing out, and the same, proved to be a great lipolytic agent, reducing adiposity with few applications and without side effects. However, further studies on ozone therapy and treatment of adiposity are needed to establish optimal protocols and concentrations and frequency of ozone application in order to ensure better results for the treatment of this aesthetic dysfunction.

The demand for aesthetic and rejuvenating treatments is increasing in society, with that the demand for orofacial harmonization increases exponentially every day. Orofacial harmonization is a set of procedures performed by the Dentist / Dental Surgeon, which aims at the aesthetic and functional balance of the face. Steroid hormones are of great importance in aging due to the decrease of some during this process. However, poor diet including sugar consumption, changes in the sleep cycle, alcohol use, tobacco, lack of exercise and excessive exposure to UV rays also contribute to aging. We present the case of a female patient, 47 years old, who had failures in her menstrual cycle for more than 6 months, and the presence of melasma. Laboratory tests revealed changes in her hormone and vitamin levels, the clinical examination reported dry skin with blemishes, and she also reported excessive fatigue. In order to stabilize melasma and improve the appearance of the skin and obtain a better result in orofacial harmonization, bioidentical steroid hormone replacement therapy and vitamin supplementation were performed. Within 3 months of starting therapy with testosterone, progesterone, melatonin, vitamin D, and supplementation with nutraceuticals, it was observed that during treatment the patient showed a change in the appearance of her skin. The results show that in order to obtain a good response to the orofacilli harmonization treatment, it is extremely important to have a correct homeostasis.
