FAQ
-
What is targeted cryotherapy?Targeted cryotherapy is a focused cooling technique that applies cold to specific areas of the body to refresh, soothe, and revitalize. Unlike whole-body cryotherapy, which cools the entire body, this method is perfect for easing tension, relaxing sore muscles, and enhancing skin appearance.
-
Is there any downtime after a cryotherapy session?No! One of the biggest benefits of cryotherapy is that there’s zero downtime—you can return to your normal activities immediately after your session.
-
Can I combine cryotherapy with other treatments?Absolutely! Many of our clients combine cryotherapy with massage therapy, physical therapy, or fitness recovery programs for enhanced benefits.
-
How do I book a cryotherapy session?Booking is easy! You can schedule your session through our website’s [Book Now] button or contact us at [1-877-CRYO360]. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments ensure availability!
-
What should I wear for a cryotherapy session?For a targeted cryotherapy session, wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being cooled. If focusing on the upper body, a tank top or sports bra is ideal, while for lower body sessions, shorts or leggings that can be rolled up work best. Avoid applying lotions, oils, or self-tanners beforehand, as moisture can create discomfort during the cooling process. Loose clothing helps prevent marks that might affect the cooling wand’s effectiveness. Also, remove any metal jewelry or accessories near the area, as metal can become very cold.
-
How long do the effects of cryotherapy last?The effects can vary depending on the individual. Many people feel instant relief after one session, while others experience benefits lasting several days. For long-term results, consistent sessions are recommended.
-
Can cryotherapy help with chronic pain?Yes! Cryotherapy is often used to help with joint stiffness, muscle discomfort, and post-activity recovery. By cooling the targeted area, it helps soothe soreness and refresh the body naturally—without the need for medication.
-
What’s the difference between whole-body and targeted cryotherapy?️ ✔️ Whole-body cryotherapy: Involves stepping into a full-body chamber for 2-3 minutes at freezing temperatures to promote overall recovery and circulation. ✔️ Targeted cryotherapy: Focuses on one specific area (such as knees, back, or face) using a controlled stream of cold air for a more localized effect.
-
Is cryotherapy suitable for everyone?Cryotherapy is not recommended for individuals with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or circulation disorders like Raynaud’s disease, as the extreme cold can constrict blood vessels and worsen symptoms. Those with cold sensitivity, cryoglobulinemia, or cold urticaria should avoid it due to potential adverse reactions. People with respiratory issues, asthma, or chronic lung conditions may experience breathing difficulties from the sudden cold exposure. Additionally, individuals with severe diabetes, nerve damage, or neuropathy should be cautious, as reduced sensation could prevent them from detecting cold-related injuries. Pregnant women, those with seizure disorders, or individuals recovering from recent surgeries or open wounds should also avoid cryotherapy, as it may pose risks to their health or slow the healing process.
-
How often should I do cryotherapy?It depends on your goals! For pain management and recovery, 2-3 sessions per week may be ideal. For skin and beauty benefits, weekly maintenance sessions work well. Many athletes and chronic pain sufferers use cryotherapy multiple times a week for best results.
-
How does targeted cryotherapy work?Targeted cryotherapy works by exposing a small area of the body to ultra-low temperatures (as low as -160°C) using a controlled stream of liquid CO₂. This cold exposure causes vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), reducing inflammation and numbing nerve endings to provide immediate pain relief. As the body warms up, blood flow increases, flushing out toxins and delivering oxygen-rich blood to the treated area, accelerating healing and recovery.
-
What are the benefits of targeted cryotherapy?️ Pain relief – Reduces nerve sensitivity and inflammation. ✔️️Soothes discomfort – Helps ease tension and sensitivity in targeted areas. ✔️ Speeds up recovery – Supports quicker relief after activity or strain. ✔️ Reduces swelling – Helps with muscle tightness and puffiness. ✔️ Enhances skin – Leaves skin feeling firm and refreshed. ✔️ Gentle & natural – A non-invasive, drug-free wellness solution.
-
Is cryotherapy safe?Yes! Cryotherapy is a well-researched and controlled cooling method, performed by trained professionals. The sessions are carefully managed, ensuring the skin is never directly exposed to extreme cold. However, individuals with circulatory concerns, heart conditions, or sensitivity to cold should consult a healthcare provider before booking a session.
-
Does cryotherapy help with weight loss?While cryotherapy alone isn’t a weight-loss solution, it can support fat reduction by boosting metabolism. When exposed to extreme cold, the body works harder to maintain warmth, burning calories in the process. Many people use cryotherapy alongside a healthy diet and exercise routine for body contouring and fat loss support.
-
What Does a Cryotherapy Session Feel Like?Most people describe it as a cool, tingling sensation rather than intense cold. The session is quick (usually under 5 minutes for targeted cooling) and feels refreshing rather than uncomfortable. Many notice immediate benefits, such as relief from tension and reduced puffiness, right after the session.
