Spot Cryotherapy

Think of Spot Cryotherapy as your modern day ice pack. Our state-of-the-art spot cryotherapy machine is used to target & focus on specific areas and localised injuries.

The concept of spot cryotherapy (also known as localised cryotherapy) is based on the short-term application of liquid nitrogen vapour to a particular area of the body. This procedure causes muscles to contract and an increase of blood flow to the treated area, helping repair muscular injuries up to three times quicker than normal, reducing inflammation and bruising whilst speeding up cell regeneration for faster healing.

For maximum benefits of cryotherapy, we recommend to have a 3 minute session in the cryotherapy chamber first as this will target your whole body followed by 5-10 minutes of spot cryotherapy on the affected / injured area of your body.

Cryogenic procedures are 100% safe, cause little to no side effects, and demonstrate outstanding results for localised injuries to most areas of the body such as; skin damage, bruising, muscle tension and ligament sprains. Initially, spot cryo was designed as a treatment used for medical purposes. Due to its popularity, the benefits of extreme cold application have transcended from medical applications to general wellness, muscle recovery and holds many beauty benefits hence why we use this machine for our cryo facial treatment.

Isolated Cryostimulation is often used by professionals such as physiotherapists and recovery specialists and is becoming increasingly common in the treatment of rheumatism and other health conditions related to the musculoskeletal system. Maximum benefits from cryo can be achieved when combining spot cryo following your exit from the cryotherapy chamber.

This is a relaxing treatment that lasts approximately 15 minutes, depending on the severity of the injury, more than one treatment may be necessary to achieve the best result. Depending on the area being treated, you will either be sat down on a chair or we may ask you to lie down on a treatment bed.

Who is the best candidate for Spot Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy can be a life-changing treatment for people from all walks of life. It’s incredibly versatile and offers a wide array of benefits. It may be a good option for you if you are an athlete and in search of a way to recover and heal your muscles. Cryotherapy can also help you find relief from pain if you have arthritis, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia. We do not recommend cryotherapy if you have severely high blood pressure, or are living with a condition like Raynaud’s Syndrome, tumour disease, symptomatic lung disorders, and/or bleeding disorders.

When will I see results?                              

A single session of cryotherapy will help with inflammation. However, for a lasting and noticeable difference cryotherapy should be used at a minimum of twice per week.  Professional athletes, such as Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo, have now adopted cryotherapy for before-and-after their practice and games, achieving noticeable results.

What will I feel during the session?                           

When your cryotherapy session is complete, your skin will return to its normal temperature within minutes. Immediately after you may feel a slight tingling sensation, but within minutes you will likely feel relaxed and muscular pain generally begins to subside immediately.
