What conditions can be treated with cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including sports injuries, arthritis, chronic pain, dermatological issues (e.g., warts, skin tags), and certain cancers (e.g., cryosurgery for skin cancer). It can also be used for aesthetic purposes, such as skin rejuvenation and cellulite reduction.
What should I expect during a cryotherapy session?
During a cryotherapy session, you'll typically be exposed to cold temperatures for a specified duration through localized application to specific areas of the body. You may experience sensations of coldness, tingling, or numbness, but the session is generally brief and well-tolerated.
How many cryotherapy sessions are needed?
The number of cryotherapy sessions needed depends on various factors, including the condition being treated, its severity, and individual response to treatment. Some individuals may experience significant benefits after a single session, while others may require multiple sessions spaced out over time for optimal results.
How does cryotherapy work?
