What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a non-invasion, non-medical approach used by individuals seeking health and wellness benefits. The cryotherapy machine exposes the skin’s surface to temperatures between -120 and -165 degrees Celcius for 3 minutes.
How often can I do cryotherapy?
At Cryomend, we recommend beginning with 5-10 sessions spaced close together (every day or every other day). We then advise that our clients maintain their treatments, either 1-2 sessions per week or bi-weekly, to continue to experience the maximum benefits.
Will I be able to brave the cold?
For many, exposure to sub-zero temperatures creates some uneasiness, but in essence, it’s not as chilling as one would believe. Even those with a low tolerance for the cold report it’s within their comfort range.
Is nitrogen dangerous?
Although it may sound risky, 78% of the air we breathe contains nitrogen! While the cryotherapy chamber chills with liquid nitrogen, there is no direct contact with the gas.
Will I get claustrophobic during cryotherapy?
This is a natural consideration for many. However, it’s essential to note that your head remains entirely outside the chamber despite the practice referred to as ‘whole body’ cryotherapy. With your head positioned above the cryo-chamber, you will see the technician and your surroundings. Furthermore, motion is never restricted; you will be able to move your arms, legs, and entire body with ease!
What is the age requirement for whole body cryotherapy?
Treatments are typically appropriated for people over 18 years of age. For those under the age of 18 we do offer localized cryotherapy to assist with specific or isolated injuries ranging from shoulders, knees, back, hips and more. We encourage you to connect with us, as each case is truly unique!
