Cryotherapy
Sophisticated Cold Temperature Therapy
Localized Cryotherapy is a pressurized stream of liquid nitrogen vapor
that is directed onto the affected body part creating a powerful icing response.
The blood vessels constrict, slowing inflammation immediately to the area
being treated. These sessions can last from 5 to 30 minutes depending
on the area. This is more beneficial than hours of traditional icing.
Almost any body part can be targeted. Some of the most common areas include
the entire back, neck, shoulder, arm, knee, face and even the heel for
planter fasciitis.
Why OnyxBody prefers Localized Cryotherapy over Whole-Body treatments.
Whole-body cryotherapy has undeniable benefits but localized cryotherapy
has many advantages which include:
-
Safety: There is minimal risk to skin or other tissue. We are able to control
the temperature and time it is applied. This means limited to no risk
of frostbite or any other skin damage.
-
Comfort: Patients are simply more comfortable sitting or laying down rather then
standing in a closed chamber.
-
Efficacy: Localized treatments is more effective because of the addition of added
compression. Therapeutic cold is applied for longer and is is able to
penetrate deeper into the damaged tissue and help stimulate healing.
-
Cost: It is less expensive to treat a certain area then the entire body. It
just make sense to pay for the area needing cold therapy.
Cryotherapy Facials are another area that have numerous benefits. It causes
the blood vessels to constrict and dilate which flushes toxins and impurities
out and boosts the supply of oxygen into your skin cells. It can reduce
acne, minimizes lines and wrinkles, and increases collagen production.
Other benefits include:
- Increasing firmness
- Stimulating brightness & radiance
- Decreases pigmentation & uneven skin tones
- Revitalizes stressed skin
- Promotes tone & texture
- Eliminates acne scars
- Reduces inflammation
