Extreme cold stimulates temperature receptors in the skin. These activate the nervous, immune and endocrine systems, resulting in a reduction of pain and inflammation, improvement in mood and, physique, and the health of the body generally, enhancing your overall health, wellness and being.

Benefits Of Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy boosts collagen production in the body.

  • A hectic lifestyle and uncontrolled stress lead to premature aging of the skin, along with detrimental effects of environmental factors like pollution.
  • Cryotherapy kickstarts the body’s natural healing process, countering ageing and loss of elasticity of the skin.
  • It also boosts metabolism that helps natural weight loss, improving skin and hair texture to a great extent.

ANTI-AGEING & SKIN RENEWAL

During Cryotherapy treatment, the skin vessels and capillaries undergo a period of vasoconstriction (constriction of blood vessels) followed by vasodilatation (dilation of blood vessels) upon finishing the session. This causes toxins stored in the layers of the skin to be broken down and flushed away. This hyper cooling activates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, leaving your skin firm and radiant.

WEIGHT LOSS & METABOLISM

Whole Body CryoTherapy can increase your metabolic rate up to 350%. Exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures triggers the metabolic rate to heat up the entire body the same way aerobic exercise does and helps you burn 500-800 calories within a 24 hour period.

During a Cryotherapy session, the brain releases natural “feel good” endorphins to help manage with the extreme cold temperatures.

No, this treatment uses a dry cold and only lasts for 3 minutes.

No sooner than 4 hours before training and 48 hours after training for athletes during training and competition. Many clients prefer one or two sessions a week for maintenance.

Low temperatures have been used to treat inflammation for centuries – think of athletes using ice to ease the pain of sore muscles. Modern applications to treat rheumatoid arthritis began during the 1970’s in Japan. Several clinical studies have also been conducted in Europe, where the practice of Cryotherapy is more common.

The vapour used in the chamber is made of the same nitrogen that is in the air we breathe. The heavier nitrogen vapour remains inside the chamber, so you only breathe the air in the room.

The chamber is uncovered so your head remains outside the chamber and you can exit at any time.

The treatment lasts for up to 3 minutes. The last 30 seconds of the treatment is the coldest

Cold and dry nitrogen vapour is being released. Stable cooling temperature is maintained over the entire body and there is constant monitoring by a trained operator.

Clients are required to wear underwear, jogging bottoms or compression shorts. Women can also wear a bra, sports bra or bikini top. Two pairs of socks, slippers and a robe will be provided.

Our cutting-edge Cryotherapy chamber fills with nitrogen vapour, quickly lowering your skin temperature. The treatment lasts an average of 3 minutes and your head remains outside the chamber. You can exit at any time.

The skin sends signals to the brain, stimulating regulatory actions that effectively activate the nutrients in the body that help natural healing. Once out of the chamber the body immediately reheats.

Whole Body Cryotherapy stimulates the body to release endorphins, the hormones that make us feel alerted and energetic. The positive effects from each session typically last for six to eight hours. Many clients report improvements in their sleep quality after cryotherapy.

Absolutely. The liquid nitrogen is used during the Whole Body Cryotherapy session is a cooling agent that does not come into contact with the skin. A trained technician is present at all times during each session. We use a Juka cryosauna that has a magnetic door closure that opens easily and can be pushed open with minimal effort at any time during the session. This time limit can never be exceeded–the machine will automatically turn off after 3 minutes.

No. The immediate cold impact of the cryotherapy will raise the internal body temperature for a short period of time. The frequent stimulation of the immune system can help prevent recurring colds and the severity of the future colds.
