It's Best Combined With a Healthy Lifestyle Cryotherapy isn't a miracle cure and although the benefits are remarkable, you'll experience them at their best if you merge the therapy with a healthy lifestyle. We already know the importance of a balanced diet, regular exercise and a beauty regime.
Maximize Benefits with Proper Preparation: Stay hydrated, eat a light meal beforehand, and keep moving during your session to enhance circulation and optimize results.
How To Care for Yourself After Cryotherapy. Starting the day after your procedure, wash the treated area gently with fragrance-free soap and water every day. Put Vaseline® or Aquaphor® on the treated area every day for 2 weeks. This will help the area heal and will keep it from crusting.
The most commonly used and most reliable and reproducible technique used for cryosurgery is the timed spot freeze open‑spray technique.
We recommend covering the blister with a Band-Aid or other simple dressing for a few days. Do not use any creams, powders or ointments on the blister. Avoid antiseptics such as Betadine, Savlon or Dettol.
The risks of cryotherapy are small, but complications can occur. These complications may include: Bleeding, cramping or pain after cryotherapy around the cervix. Bone fractures.
After cryoslimming, shift your diet to include more vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains. These foods aid in weight maintenance, boost metabolism, and are fundamental to your health. Cut back on processed foods, sugar, and saturated fats to prevent undoing your treatment's benefits.
You'll know when you've had the cold on long enough, by monitoring the four stages of cold treatment: The first stage is an uncomfortable feeling; the second stage is a stinging sensation; the third stage is burning or aching; the fourth stage is numbness. It takes five to fifteen minutes to reach all four stages.
Aim to keep the treated areas dry for 24 hours. After this time the area should be gently washed on a daily basis and patted dry with a soft towel or tissue. Vaseline ® can be applied daily to help the area heal and prevent crusting - it is important to use a fresh tub of Vaseline ®.
It takes three to five consecutive sessions to begin feeling the benefits of cryotherapy. Cryotherapy treatments are generally performed one to three times a week in order to maintain the benefits.
Can you overdo cryotherapy? It depends. Cryotherapy sessions haven't been shown to hinder recovery or post-workout adaptations. However, staying in the cold too long, especially in the extreme temperatures of whole-body cryotherapy, can damage tissues through frostbite.
If your treatment doesn't remove all the abnormal cells, you may have to have cryotherapy treatment again, or your doctor or nurse may recommend another treatment like LEEP or more tests.
It is generally recommended to undergo whole body cryotherapy 2-3 times weekly for optimal results. Athletes or those engaged in rigorous physical activity may benefit from more frequent sessions, possibly up to 5 times weekly, to aid recovery and enhance performance.
Simple rest & recovery
We advise patients to avoid strenuous activity for at least 48 hours after cryotherapy, as this can delay the healing process. Make sure to give your body enough time to rest and recover. Depending on your individual healing process, you may need a day or two before you feel back to normal.
Apply Vaseline or Aquaphor to the area 1-2x daily. You do not have to keep the area covered with a Band-Aid, but certainly can if you prefer.
Along with endorphins, your blood is enriched with oxygen, nutrients and antioxidants to help restore your cells and repair damage from oxidative stress. Cryotherapy has many advantages that may make it better than other detox remedies like IV treatments. Cryotherapy is less invasive.
Other contraindications for cryosurgery are conditions that can be exacerbated by cold exposure such as cryoglobulinemia, multiple myeloma, Raynaud disease, cold urticaria, previous history of cold induce injury at the site or limb, as well as poor circulation at the site or in that limb.
Slows Down the Aging Process: Since it stimulates natural collagen and elastin synthesis, therefore slowing down the outer indications of aging, cryotherapy is a good anti-aging treatment for retaining young skin.
At °CRYO, we recommend seven to 10 sessions either a few days apart or over a two to three week spread if you want to optimize your benefits and maintain them. Newer clients should aim for their sessions to be closer in succession while regulars can have one to two a week, depending on their goals.
As your fat cells freeze during your CoolSculpting treatment, you are changing the texture of the fat cell itself. Once the cell freezes, it collapses and it triggers the cell to die. During this process, your body excretes the dead fat cells through your lymphatic system.
It's recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to an hour after your session before taking a shower.
