SERVICE DETAILS

Cryotherapy can be defined to be any treatment that involves the use of freezing temperatures. At Cryovis, one session lasts from 3 to 4 minutes at a temperature of -90 degrees. At the end of your session, Cryovis recommends to do at least 10/15 minutes of movement such as: walking, cycling, jogging and stretching to improve vasodilation and blood re-oxygenation. They also advise to perform a complete workout by taking advantage of the energy charge given by the effect of the cryotherapy.

The benefits of cryotherapy are innumerable both for our health and for our aesthetics:

ANTI-RHEUMATIC AGENT AND ANTI-AGE

Systemic cryotherapy helps us to improve the symptoms of autoimmune diseases such as: fibromyalgia, sclerosis, allergies, dermatitis and acts as a powerful anti-rheumatic agent (treating inflammatory Arthritis). Moreover, it improves our immune defences by increasing the production of T lymphocytes (cells that have a central role in controlling and shaping our immune system response by providing immune-related functions). It improves peripheral circulation in our legs and arms (blood flow distribution in the body), it eliminates water retention and speeds up the healing processes after surgery by promoting wound healing and improving skin elasticity, collagen production and reducing edema (fluid retention in the body’s tissue).

WELL-BEING AND SPORT

It helps to recover quickly after intense physical trainings and it gives to the body a powerful charge of endorphins and dopamine, increasing serotonin and energy levels, acting as an antidepressant effect, reducing stress levels and fatigue. In fact, cryotherapy is used by the worlds sport champions as a natural pre-doping and post-performance recovery method. Cryotherapy also improves insonnia problems by regulating our biological clock, fighting jet lag and helping our body to restore hormonal rhythms (even for women in menopause).

WEIGHT LOSS

Lastly, it is a metabolic accelerator that promotes an increase in anabolic hormones (testosterone, insulin, growth hormone), leading the body to burn more calories.
