How Does Cryotherapy Work?
|
|
Extremely cold temperatures stimulate receptors in your body, prompting your brain to send messages that result in vasoconstriction. Blood rushes from the extremities to the core of the body where it oxygenates and enriches the body with nutrients.
After your cryo treatment ends, blood is pumped vigorously (vasodilation) around the body, resulting in the rush of energy our clients love. Additionally, depending on your diet and fitness level, you’ll burn up to 500-800 calories in the hours after your treatment. |

Frequently Asked Questions |
Scientific Cryotherapy Research |
|
Is Cryotherapy Safe?
Yes! Your body is safely cooled by nitrogen vapor surrounding your body. All treatments are conducted and monitored by an experienced and trained cryo technician. Be aware cryotherapy is not recommended for those with heart conditions and other medical issues. Before your first treatment, our staff will review a complete list of contraindications. How Long Does Cryo Take? At most, our cryotherapy treatments last for 3 minutes. Because of the intense cold therapy, many of our clients start out with a shorter treatment and work up to the full 3 minutes over time. When Will I Start to See Results? You’ll likely feel a powerful rush of endorphins (the body’s mood elevator) as soon as your cryo treatment finishes. You may also feel immediate:
These effects may last for hours or even days. Many clients also notice improved sleep in the days following their treatment. Improvements in skin texture and reduction in cellulite and weight loss will take longer and may require a series of treatments for maximum results. Is One Treatment Enough? Every whole body cryotherapy session is beneficial and you’ll likely experience immediate positive results. However, research has shown maximum benefits of cryotherapy are seen over a period of 2-3 weeks, with 3-4 sessions per week. |
