Cryotherapy
Ankeny, Iowa, 50023
Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) is a sophisticated method of cold therapy involving three minutes of skin exposure to temperatures between -200°F to -250°F.
While this modality was first utilized in Japan in 1978 to treat rheumatic diseases, studies conducted over the last two decades have established cryotherapy as a powerful adjunct treatment for reducing symptoms of pain and inflammation associated with a number of chronic conditions. Furthermore, cryotherapy significantly improves recovery time for athletes, treats skin conditions and aids in weight loss.
The sympathetic nervous system is stimulated by the skin’s cold receptors, causing severe vasoconstriction, followed by rapid vasodilation. Blood flow to the skin’s surface and extremities is redirected to insulate vital organs and maintain the core temperature, which can fluctuate by only 4.5° C between states of hypothermia and hyperthermia.
These responses are due to perceived life-threatening conditions; therefore, thermal regulation is trivial as the body is forced to activate a cascade of powerful adaptive (survival) mechanisms involving the body’s most crucial systems.
Cryotherapy immediately improves blood circulation, ensuring adequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to bodily tissues, while improving the body’s natural ability to eliminate toxins.
The KryoFacial™ is truly one of a kind. It constitutes a Cryogenic treatment, in which a controlled beam of nitrogen vapour is used to ‘freeze’ the skin of the face, scalp, and neck area. Applying this cold nitrogen creates an instant skin tightening effect that fills in fine lines and wrinkles and stimulates collagen to produce more cells which, over a course of treatments allows the skin to become tighter, more even toned, and refined. KryoFacial results in fast contracting and expanding of the skin’s blood vessels which in turn causes a surge of nutrient rich, oxygenated blood to flow through your blood vessels and feed your skin. The KryoFacial™ will flush away built up toxins in your skin, dramatically reduce pore size and soothe any skin inflammation. And as for that dreaded puffiness we all experience…Gone!
