What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is the science of exposing the body to sub-zero temperatures of up to -140°C in order to stimulate multiple physical and mental health benefits.
Cryotherapy stimulates blood circulation, releases enhanced levels of endorphins, and increases the oxygen and nutrient supply to the areas of the body that need revitalizing. It also speeds up muscle recovery, reduces tissue damage, decreases inflammation and relieves pain by increasing cellular survival and strengthening the immune system.
Using cold temperatures to treat pain and inflammation dates as far back as 2500 BC. As a powerful remedial science under the right conditions, cryotherapy can be used as a healing tool to activate and stimulate the body’s circulatory, nervous and energy systems. Exposing the entire body to cryogenically-cooled air promotes regeneration, recovery and restoration. This science is now readily available in our smart design machines.
These non-invasive, short and extremely cold bursts to the body induce physiological reactions that trigger healing, anti-aging, and other restorative benefits. Additionally, the controlled cold environment has been proven to trigger an analgesic reaction in the neural mind leading to positive mood states, which can have a positive impact on depression, sleep disorders and overall wellbeing.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
All forms of cryotherapy treatments work on the same principle of reducing the surface temperature of the skin to 4°C in order to boost blood circulation and reduce inflammation. The increased circulation of healthy nutrients in the body stimulates various health benefits.
What is Localised Cryotherapy?
Localised cryotherapy is the application of cryogenically cooled air to specific parts of the body. Localised cryotherapy can be used for two main categories:
Beauty Treatments
Beauty treatments such as °CRYO Facials or cellulite reduction use localised cryotherapy technology. The facials increase the collagen production in the skin and leaves the skin visibly smoother with a restored youthful glow.
Pain Management & Injury Recovery
Localised cryotherapy can also be used to alleviate pain, inflammation and speed up recovery from injuries through cryogenically cooled air penetrating deeper into the layers of tissue and increasing blood circulation.
