Cryotherapy for Orthopedics

Orthopedics / Sports recovery and readiness 

Cryotherapy has many benefits including quick pain relief and reduction of swelling and inflammation. The use of America Cryo’s Subzero handheld works by delivering short bursts of -110F carbon dioxide that drops skin temperature 59 degrees in 30 seconds, initiating a process called thermal shock, lowering the tissue temperature in the treated area. This process, called cryostimulation, causes constriction of the blood vessels in response to cold, followed by dilation and improved blood flow post-treatment. This process reduces inflammation and swelling and stimulates the release of hormones, like noradrenaline and Beta-Endorphins, which are powerful natural pain killers. This treatment aids in recovery of soft tissue, muscle, tendon, or overuse injuries or surgery, athlete recovery and painful motion-limiting medical conditions. This can be a stand-alone treatment or used in conjunction with your massage therapy session.

Cryotherapy for Aesthetics

Bodysculpting (cryoslimming) for stubborn fat

When used on problem areas, the sudden drop in skin temperature induces cryolipolysis, or destruction of fat cells. Over time, the body removes those cells. The process also cosmetically tightens the skin.

Cryofacials (Frotox)

Diffused through a cone, the same ultra-cold CO2 turns into a soothing, soft frozen mist that relaxes muscles in the face, produces a rosy glow and cosmetically tightens skin. It’s also thought to stimulate production of collagen over time,

further firming the skin.

Areas we treat:

• Abdominal Cryosculpting

• Glute, Hip & Thigh Cryosculpting

• Arm Cryosculpting

• Skin Health (Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis)

• Scalp Cryotherapy

• Cryofacial for Wrinkle Reduction & Skin Tightening

• Cryofacial for Chin & Jawline Cryosculpting

• Cryofacial for Under Eye treatment

How does Cryo-sculpting work?

The treatments are powered by cryolipolysis – a medical treatment used to destroy fat cells by freezing within the temperature range of 24 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. The cold treatment causes apoptosis, or cell death, of subcutaneous fat tissues.

​

Results can be seen immediately, although the injured fat cells are gradually eliminated by the body as the cells breakdown. This can take up to 72 hours post-treatment. Following a full course of treatment, cells will continue to breakdown up to 4 to 6 weeks.

​

Massage, particularly lymphatic drainage, after treatment can significantly improve results seen.

Aesthetic Indications:

• Fat Reduction

• Skin Tightening

• Reducing Wrinkles and Fine Lines

• Redefine Jawline

• Improving general mood, energy, and promoting relaxation

Pre-Treatment

• Avoid alcohol.

Post-Treatment

• Drink a lot of water after treatment. This helps the lymphatic system to eliminate destroyed fat cells quicker.

• There is no downtime or recovery period after treatment.

• You should maintain a proper diet, exercise, and hydration for optimal results.

•  Lymphatic drainage massage after treatment can significantly improve results seen.

• Clients with larger body mass or higher fat content may require longer treatment times.
