What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is an increasingly widespread therapeutic method, using machines that expose the body to extremely low temperatures. Generally, from -30°C to -80°C for localized cryotherapy, versus -110°C to -180°C for whole-body cryotherapy.
Thanks to thermal shock, beneficial physiological reactions are triggered, particularly in terms of cellular recovery and improvement of local inflammation.
What are the benefits and advantages of cryotherapy?
Benefits & advantages
Whole-body or localized cryotherapy, by dropping body temperature, provides many benefits and advantages:
Reduction of inflammation
Thanks to intense cold, blood circulation is improved after the session and the influx of blood to inflamed areas helps reduce pain as well as swelling.
Improvement of muscle recovery
Particularly interesting for high-level athletes, muscle recovery is greatly accelerated thanks to cold, and moreover, soreness and pain are also reduced.
Metabolism boost
Following exposure to intense cold, the body provides an equally intense effort to warm up, allowing to burn 500 to 800 calories per whole-body cryotherapy session.
Sleep improvement and immune strengthening
Cryotherapy promotes restorative sleep, and moreover, it also helps stimulate natural defenses.
The benefits of cryotherapy also apply to mental well-being, particularly by reducing stress and improving general mood.
Finally, the use of cold, by acting on the blood system, also allows skin firming and cellulite reduction. Moreover, it allows a boost in enzyme release as well as collagen production, for smooth and firm skin.
How exactly does a session work?
Do you want to know more about how a session works? Here's how it happens in our institute:
Session preparation
To ensure session safety, a prior medical consultation is first performed, with the aim of excluding any contraindication. Then, protections will be given to you, to protect your extremities as well as your respiratory tract.
During the session
If you have chosen a whole-body cryotherapy session, you can then enter a cabin, where your body will be exposed to cold from -110 degrees Celsius to -130 degrees Celsius for 2 to 3 minutes. In the case of a targeted session, the device will be focused on the requested area, also for a few minutes, with temperatures between -30 degrees Celsius and -80 degrees Celsius.
In all cases, an operator will monitor you, to ensure your safety as well as your comfort.
What are the rates for a cryotherapy session?
We offer you two types of cryotherapy treatment, with different rates, namely:
CryoSpot: perfect for recovery as well as improving muscle performance, for 40 euros per zone.
Cryo Wave: allows relieving muscle tension as well as firming tissues, for 75 euros per session.
Cryotherapy: what results can we expect?
Cryotherapy sessions provide rapid results, with formidable efficiency, from the first session. Here are the results to expect in the short or long term:
Physical results
Often associated with physiotherapy sessions, muscle pain decreases significantly after a few days, a real relief for people suffering from chronic pain, in particular. Nevertheless, for optimal results on muscles, you have to wait between 15 and 45 days after the session.
Aesthetic results
Thanks to these very low temperatures, the skin becomes firmer, the complexion is radiant and imperfections, such as cellulite, are eliminated or reduced.
Results on general well-being
Stress is reduced from the first sessions, as well as sleep, which is greatly improved.
What are the contraindications for cryotherapy?
Cold therapy is an aesthetic medicine method that is not suitable for everyone and various contraindications must be taken into account, namely:
Serious cardiovascular diseases and heart rate disorders
Uncontrolled arterial hypertension
Epilepsy
Cold allergy
Severe skin diseases
Pregnancy beyond the 4th month
As for side effects, these are rare, the technique being without real risk, but are generally limited to redness as well as temporary discomfort due to cold.
Questions?
Yes, the cold is bearable during this type of session, because it is used dry, and therefore less unpleasant than an ice bath, for example.
Nevertheless, if you don't feel comfortable during the session, you can always inform the person monitoring your session.
It depends on your expectations. Indeed, certain effects, such as sleep improvement or activation of the muscle recovery process, will be visible from the first session. On the other hand, results such as skin improvement or cellulite elimination will require several sessions, sometimes several times per week.
Yes, it is possible to perform a session even while being claustrophobic. Nevertheless, in this case, it is good to prefer targeted cryotherapy or opt for an open cabin.
Generally, high-level athletes as well as athletes are those who benefit most from this technique. Nevertheless, people suffering from chronic pain as well as patients in rehabilitation or who have suffered an injury can also find cryotherapy as a solution for pain.
