Cryotherapy in Olympia WA

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.

More Benefits and facts about Cryotherapy

• The Subzero Cryotherapy device uses pressurized CO2 gas at -110 degrees Fahrenheit to target a local area of the body and cause “thermal shock”
• Utilizing the Subzero on athletes leads to an increase in recovery time, resulting in peak performance
• The goal is to achieve a rapid thermal shock and to descend from 36°C to 2°C in 20 to 40 seconds. This involves a cutaneous pressure of about 5 bar applied by the tool.
• The studies on this «great cold» showed analgesic, anti-inflammatory, vasomotor and neurological effects which were higher than those obtained with ice, because of the «thermal shock» obtained
• The application of the cold is done by sweeping the painful area for 60 to 90 seconds, depending on the size and importance of the muscle, until the thermal shock is obtained (phenomenon of reflex vasodilation, which takes 20 minutes to obtain with ice).
• Gas cryotherapy improves muscular contraction, regardless of which muscle is treated, in terms of pain and articular amplitude, presumably caused by the thermal shock effect, which can be obtained very rapidly with this equipment
• Scientific studies show that it is the importance of the thermal shock and the speed of the decrease in temperature which influence the quality of the treatment.
• The faster the decrease of temperature, the stronger the thermal shock, and the more efficient the return reaction.
• Gas cryotherapy is a recent technique which deserves all our attention as it uses very low temperatures and high pressure, which causes a «thermal shock» that is totally unheard of in traditional cryotherapy.
