Cryotherapy Faqs

What is Localised Cryotherapy, and how does it work?
Localised cryotherapy is a targeted cold therapy that uses sub-zero temperatures to treat specific areas of the body. It reduces pain and inflammation, enhances blood circulation, and accelerates recovery by stimulating the body’s natural healing response.

​

What can I expect during a Localised Cryotherapy session?
During the session, a controlled stream of cold air is applied directly to the treatment area for several minutes. The treatment is non-invasive, safe, and quick, with most sessions lasting about 10 - 20 minutes depending on the area.

​

What are the benefits of Localised Cryotherapy for injuries or sore muscles?
Localised cryotherapy can help reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation from injuries, aid in muscle recovery, and enhance healing in specific problem areas, making it ideal for athletes or anyone with sore or injured muscles.

How does a Cryotherapy Facial differ from traditional facials?
A Cryotherapy Facial uses cold temperatures to tighten and brighten the skin, reduce puffiness, and boost collagen production. Unlike traditional facials, it’s a quick, non-invasive treatment that doesn’t involve any products or downtime. You still get a hands-on facial treatment before the we do the Cryotherapy, involving a cleanse, tone, exfoliation followed by moisturiser and facial serum.

​

Is there any downtime after a Localised Cryotherapy or Cryo-facial treatment?
No, both treatments are non-invasive and require no downtime. You can go about your regular activities immediately afterward.

​

How many sessions are recommended for best results?
This depends on your goals and the condition being treated. Many people feel immediate relief, but ongoing benefits often require multiple sessions. There are plans of 3 and 5 sessions available to book here.

​

Who can benefit from Localised Cryotherapy?
Athletes, individuals recovering from injuries, and those with chronic pain or inflammatory conditions can benefit from localised cryotherapy. It’s also helpful for those looking for a natural approach to pain relief and muscle recovery.

​

Are there any risks or side effects?
Cryotherapy is generally safe for most people, but those with certain conditions, like severe Raynaud's or unmanaged cardiovascular conditions, should consult a healthcare professional first.  We will assess your needs to ensure it’s a safe and effective option for you.
