Called a cold treatment. Cryotherapy is a procedure that involves exposing the entire human body to very low temperatures, up to -195°C.
The session is carried out in a special chamber controlled by a computer. During 2-3 minutes of treatment the temperature of the skin and subcutaneous tissues decreases in a controlled manner, which has a very beneficial therapeutic effect. As a result of the cooling stimulus, the body reacts in two ways. The first one - rapid contraction of blood vessels and reduction of blood flow. This allows for an anesthetic effect, additionally lowering tissue temperature and slowing down metabolism. The second stage - the changes lead to a defensive response, resulting in rapid vasodilation and blood supply increase. This improves the supply of tissues with oxygen, nutrients, and anti-inflammatory mediators.
