WHAT IS CRYOTHERAPY?

Cryotherapy is non-invasive and used for slimming, cellulite reduction, and toning. The benefits of cryotherapy (whole body cryotherapy and cryofacials) include significant pain relief for muscle pain, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia patients, and chronic inflammation, as well as temporary relief from depressive and anxiety disorders (which can become long term relief with repeated visits). It is also a popular treatment for athletes as it can increase athletic/exercise performance by helping with the muscle healing process and can decrease pain.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

A body cryotherapy session lasts for 30 minutes and is done manually through a massage technique. The session begins with 2 minutes of heat and then decreases to extremely low temperatures of about -8 degrees for the duration of the session. The purpose is to lower the temperature of the fat cells enough to reduce fat without harming surrounding tissue. Unlike traditional Cryo chamber/cryotherapy chamber whole body cryotherapy, our devices can spot treat specific fat deposits and loose skin for much more accurate results.

IS IT SAFE?

CryoTherapy (even whole body cryotherapy) is very safe and non-invasive. Many guests visit us during their lunch break or immediately before/after a workout with no down-time.

HOW LONG WILL RESULTS LAST?

Depending on the individual and on their lifestyle and diet, results can last several months to several years. It is recommended to have 2-3 sessions 6 months after the end of a package to maintain results. Long-term packages can result in sustained fat/weight loss.

HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?

Every person is different, with different bodies, lifestyles and goals. Fortunately we have a team of highly skilled whole body cryotherapy technicians that can speak with you in-person and give you the best guidance possible. To book a consultation with one of our techs, click the “book an appointment” tab on our website menu OR call us at (207) 358-8683!

 WHAT MAKES OUR DEVICES UNIQUE?

Our machine is manufactured by a well respected and innovative company that has created over 40 different medical devices over the span of 70 years. Unlike a traditional Cryo chamber/cryotherapy chamber, it uses a method called the “Peltier Effect” to precisely control the temperature of a wand (how the cold/heat is applied to the body), giving us the advantage of localized cryotherapy. While a Cryogenic chamber can be good for whole body cryotherapy, it cannot provide the same accuracy and weight loss and benefits of our ultra-powerful localized cryotherapy wand machines.

CRYOTHERAPY BENEFITS VS COOL SCULPTING 

Like CryoTherapy, CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat elimination procedure that destroys fat cells with cryolipolysis. Below are some key differences to help show the effectiveness of cryotherapy:

• Coolsculpting has incidences of “shelving” (fat collecting in other areas due to the suction) and numbness.
• Whole body cryotherapy can also tighten loose skin, coolsculpting cannot
• Coolsculpting cannot provide the same spot treating for problem areas as body cryotherapy can
• Coolsculting can take 2 weeks to show results, Cryotherapy results begin immediately following your session
• Whole body Cryotherapy can help with cellulite
• Cryotherapy offers Cryofacials
• Coolsculpting can be painful, cryotherapy feels like a cold massage
• Coolsculpting charges about $1000 an applicator. Many need 4 applicators ($4000 total). You can benefit from CryoTherapy at a fraction of the price.
• Coolsculpting fat loss in treated areas averages 20%. CryoTherapy fat loss in treated areas averages 38%.

WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR CRYOTHERAPY TREATMENTS?

CryoSlimming is ideal for someone who follows a healthy and active lifestyle but still has some excess fat that they would like to get rid of. It is not ideal for someone who is classified as “Obese” or with a BMI of 35 or higher.

CryoToning is for anyone with cellulite, fine lines & wrinkles or who wants to improve the overall appearance of their skin.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO THE COLD TEMPERATURES? 

There are generally no side effects apart from the following minor ones:

• A sight increase in urination amount and color for several days
• Possible localized redness for 2-3 hours
• Localized itchiness mostly due to possible cosmetics applied before session (cosmetics should not be applied 24 hours before session)
• Some cases of delayed onset muscle soreness in the abdominal muscles for 2-3 hours
• In rare cases there was local pain that did not exceed 2 to 3 hours.

The benefits of cryotherapy far outweigh the possible minor side effects!
