Question By: Sometimes people want more sessions because they are not seeing results. It can take a while to see results. While most people feel invigorated after a cryotherapy session, you may not immediately notice long-term benefits, like weight loss and anti-aging. It is very important to keep up with the supportive lifestyle changes that the therapists suggest to maintain your goals.
​The number of weekly treatments
​If you are a professional sportsman or athlete following a rigorous training program with long hours of daily training it is common practice to do at least one daily session, in some instances even two sessions. Back to back sessions is not advisable.
If you use the therapy as a treatment for chronic pain and inflammation between 3 to 5 sessions per week is advisable, once it is under control 1 to 2 times per week is sufficient.
​Benefits of Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy can be used to improve health and wellness in a variety of different areas:
- Reducing Muscle Soreness – by effectively icing the sore muscle or injury, blood vessels are narrowed and blood flow to that area is reduced which temporarily reduces swelling in the area.
- Boosting Fitness and Athletic Performance – a localized treatment reduces muscle soreness (also known as DOMS) so you can train harder and for longer, but WBC kicks your body into its ‘fight or flight’ state so blood circulation is boosted and your body recovers much more quickly.
- Anti-Aging – when exposing the skin to sudden subzero temperatures, collagen production is increased and blood flow to the skin is boosted which help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and keep your complexion looking dewy and smooth.
If you have too few cryotherapy sessions, you may not see the results that you want. That is why cryotherapists design a plan based on your personal needs. Contact Cryolete and let them figure out the cryotherapy plan that is designed to meet your needs and get you the results that you want.
