About local cryotherapy
The concept of local cryotherapy is based on the short-term application of extremely low temperatures to a particular area of a patient’s body. This procedure causes muscles to contract, increasing the blood flow to the treated area, soothing inflammation, and speeding up cell regeneration. Localised cryotherapy helps to improve physical performance, gives long-term pain relief, reduces inflammation, provides fast muscle recovery, improves blood circulation and skin tone, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, minimizes scars.
Cryogenic procedures are 100% safe, cause no side effects, and demonstrate outstanding results for localized injuries involving back, knee, elbow or other joint pains, skin damage, muscle tension, ligament sprains, and so forth.
Local cryotherapy session
The treatment by local cryotherapy device is short. Affected areas or spasms are precisely targeted for 8-10 minutes by cool, dry air. At the end of the procedure, a patient may feel a ‘pins and needles’ sensation, which disappears quickly after the treatment.
The effect is immediate and could last up to 7 days. But for a more stable result, it is better to have local cryo sessions every 3-4 weeks.
Industries where local cryotherapy is used
Beauty
Sport cryotherapy can be administered for aesthetic and weight loss purposes to tighten skin and boost collagen production. As localized therapy is known to promote blood circulation, it is helpful in cellulite reduction.
Cryo facials involve cooling down the skin on the face, scalp and neck. These local cryotherapy treatments work from within to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as get rid of blemishes and spots. Cryo facials improve skin tone, reduce redness and puffiness. For those women who once tried cryo facials, the question “Does localized cryotherapy work?” never rises.
Pain management
By rapidly cooling down the skin in isolated areas, localized cryotherapy alleviates pain, decreases inflammation and swelling. It is helpful for chronic pain due to arthritis or inflammatory conditions.
Spot cryotherapy is a great tool to enhance post-surgery or post-injury recovery. It encourages and speeds up your body’s healing process and repairs tissue damage.
Sports
Sport cryotherapy can be administered when and where needed, e.g. during competitions, due to mobility and compact size of cryogenic blowers. It is a more powerful, efficient and time-saving alternative to icing.
Many athletes use local cryotherapy device for prevention as well as to treat injuries common for people who engage in sports or physical activity. Cold naturally relieves pains and aches, and a rush of oxygenated blood due to improved circulation promotes healing and recovery.
