By briefly freezing the outer layer of skin, deep layers of collagen are disrupted and respond by creating more collagen. As a result, the skin regains elasticity and appears both younger and smoother.

FAQs | What is Cryotherapy?Cryotherapy is a pain treatment that uses a method of localized freezing temperatures to deaden an irritated nerve. Cryotherapy is also used as a method of treating localized areas of some cancers (called cryosurgery), such as prostate cancer and to treat abnormal skin cells by dermatologists. Whole Body CryotherapyAs the body warms up again, the enriched blood flows back through the body through a process called vasodilation. As a result, whole body cryotherapy is very effective for athletic recovery and muscle repair, reduction of chronic pain and inflammation, and an overall enhancement of health and wellness. Cryo AdvantagesCryotherapy is the use of extremely low temperatures to treat symptoms such as tissue damage (it's excellent for athletes), decrease inflammation, increase cell rejuvenation, improve skin tone and reduce signs of aging. Temperatures reach between -100 and -140 degrees fahrenheit. How long do you stay in cryotherapy chamber?After 12-15 minutes of a shockingly cold ice bath the skin temperature only arrives at 41 degrees whereas with 2-3 minutes of whole body cryotherapy the skin temperature gets as low as 30 degrees, this allows for a different physiological response from the body increasing your speed of recovery and overall healing. Cryo for AthletesWhole-body cryotherapy is, essentially, ice baths taken to a new and otherworldly level, and it is drawing considerable attention among athletes, both elite and recreational. In the cryotherapy chambers, the ambient temperature is lowered to a numbing minus 110 Celsius or minus 166 Fahrenheit. Cryo and InflammationOn the surface, cold therapy works wonders for speeding up healing. When you apply ice to swollen muscles, the cold constricts blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the area, and pain, swelling, and inflammation decrease. The original idea behind WBC was similar: expose the body to cold to reduce inflammation. Cryotherapy and Weight LossThe “bone-chilling” theory is that your body goes into survival mode when exposed to the brutal cold; this supercharges your metabolic rate and torches about 800 calories in the process over the several hours. The treatment rev’s your metabolism, releases endorphins, soothes sore muscles, improves sleep, calms inflammation, reduces cellulite, and even reverses the signs of aging. Women and CryotherapyCryotherapy should not be done right before or during your period. Cryotherapy should not be done on women who are pregnant. If there is any chance that you are pregnant, please notify your healthcare provider now. Cryotherapy also should not be performed when you have a cervical or vaginal infection. What to wear during treatment:Suggested clothing options: Underwear, shorts, bra/bathing suit. Less clothing will maximize exposure.Remove or cover any jewelry or metal piercings located below your neck.Slip on provided thermal socks, booties, gloves and robe. |
