Cryotherapy Treatment

Cryotherapy treatment is cold therapy for skin & body to reduce inflammation and pain, helping in quick recovery. Dermatologists suggest cryotherapy treatment for recovery and wellness. The treatment can be a localized medical procedure or whole body wellness application. Freezing substances like argon or liquid nitrogen is used to activate physiological responses in the body.

In the rewarming session, the blood vessels dilate allowing oxygenated blood circulation into the tissues. The metabolic wastes are flushed out and the cell is repaired. During this process noradrenaline, endorphins, adrenaline is triggered acting as natural pain relief.
