Whole-body Cryotherapy is the process of exposing a large portion of a person's skin to extreme cold temperatures for short periods; usually two to three minutes.
This triggers the body's natural metabolic and circulatory responses resulting in several significant long-term medical and cosmetic benefits.
Medical benefits:
Improved Athletic Performance and Recovery
Weight Loss
Arthritic and other Inflammatory Pain Relief
Psoriasis and Dermatitis Relief
Increased Energy and Mood Elevation
Improvement of Sleep Disorders
Cosmetic Benefits:
Improved Skin Tone
Reduced Cellulite
Therapeutic hyper-cooling triggers the body's survival response, resulting in increased collagen production and endocrine system stimulation.
Increased collagen production improves skin tone and smoothness while the anti-inflammatory effects of endorphins help treat serious skin conditions such as dermatitis and psoriasis.
Endocrine stimulation, responsible for increased endorphin production, among other effects, has many positive outcomes such as:
Improved immune function responsible for better general health, decreased stress and improved sleep
Increased metabolic rate, leading to faster weight loss
Musculoskeletal benefits including anti-inflammatory action for pain relief from arthritis, over training or injuries
Whole-body Cryotherapy technology was invented in Japan in 1978. This technology has been widely used in Europe, safely and effectively for the last 20 years. It has been studied for the treatment of depressive disorders and used extensively in several hospitals.
