What is Localized Cryotherapy (Cryolipolysis)

A localized area of skin (the abdomen, thigh, shoulder, etc.) is cooled quickly (in this case to 4°C/39°F in less than 30 seconds), using a targeted spray of cold vapor. This temperature shock causes blood vessels in the underlying tissue to constrict (vasoconstriction) as a way of protecting the body’s core temperature.

As soon as the cold source is removed, the body warms the area quickly by expanding the blood vessels to around four times their original diameter (vasodilation). A rush of freshly oxygenated blood saturates the tissue, bringing with it hormones, neurotransmitters, and nutrients.

At the same time, unwanted by-products and waste produced from natural body processes are removed from the area to be processed by the lymphatic system.

The effect is for the localized tissue to receive all it needs to rejuvenate and restore its optimal functions: Injured muscle tissue is relieved of systemic inflammation (optimum time as some inflammation issues entire is the healing process) and fed with all the goodness and nutrients they need to recover faster.

Aging and thinning skin can repair the basal layer to restore the supply of collagen, elastin, and hydration tore to gain a smoother, tighter appearance.

Therapeutic benefits:

• Cellulite smoothing and body sculpting

• Skin tightening

• Reduced symptoms for psoriasis and eczema

• Pain reduction – muscles and joints

• Muscle relaxation

• Improved recovery times

• Faster mobilization following injury and surgery

• Increased range of motion

• Reduced edema and hematoma

• Reduced systemic inflammation

• Mood enhancement
