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. The intense cold (-270) activates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, leaving your skin firm and tight. After several treatments clients have noticed the skin becoming smoother and more even toned with regained elasticity and improved overall “youthful” feeling. A reduction in the appearance of cellulite and an increase of the skin’s elasticity have also been seen in repeated sessions, which add to Cryotherapy’s anti-aging benefits.
Metabolic Boost
Exposure to extreme cold during Cryotherapy tricks the body into thinking it’s going into hypothermia, causing it to boost it’s metabolic rate in order to maintain and increase heat production. This “hacking” of the metabolism causes the body to burn between 500-800 extra calories. Cryotherapy may be the powerful training partner your weight-loss program needs.
Energy & Mood
When you undergo a session of Cryotherapy the brain releases natural “feel good” endorphins to help cope with the extreme cold temperatures. These same endorphins increase energy levels and leave you with a euphoric feeling for reported up to 8 hours. These naturally boosted “euphoric” endorphins have been known to improve sleep and aid in the treatment of depression and other mental health ailments.
