What does cold therapy do? At Beyond Concierge Healthcare, our cryotherapy treatments expose your body to extremely cold, dry air for a short period. This triggers a systemic physiological response. Primarily, it reduces inflammation by causing vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), followed by vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) upon rewarming, which helps flush out toxins and deliver oxygen-rich blood. It can also provide pain relief by slowing nerve signals, stimulate collagen production for skin health, and potentially boost metabolism.

Subzero local cryotherapy works by delivering short bursts of -110* F carbon dioxide that drops skin temperature 59 degrees in 30 seconds, initiating a process called thermal shock.

Muscles on your skin relax and the CO2 cosmetically tightens the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

The carbon dioxide also acts as a vasodilator widening blood vessels, and clients experience additional vasodilation as the body warms. This can also reduce unwanted fat deposits, reducing double chin and other problem areas.

It is thought that this process stimulates production of collagen over time, further firming skin.

Subzero local cryotherapy works by delivering short bursts of -110° F carbon dioxide that drops skin temperature 59° in 30 seconds, initiating a process called thermal shock. While this sounds very cold, the sessions are brief (2-3 minutes), and the dry air minimizes the sensation of intense cold. Our trained technicians ensure your comfort and safety throughout the process.

Most clients do not find cryotherapy painful. You will initially feel a sensation of intense cold, which some describe as similar to stepping into a very cold breeze. However, due to the short duration and dry air, it is generally well-tolerated. Many clients find it invigorating rather than painful. We prioritize your comfort and will monitor you closely during each session.

Cryosurgery, a more localized application of extreme cold, is used by medical professionals to destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. It's commonly used to treat various skin conditions such as warts, skin tags, and precancerous lesions. While Beyond Concierge Healthcare focuses on whole body and localized cryotherapy for wellness, recovery, and aesthetic benefits, cryosurgery is a distinct medical procedure performed by dermatologists and other specialists.

Does cryotherapy work on belly fat? Can you lose hanging belly fat without surgery using cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy treatments can burn up to 2 inches of stubborn fat from desired, localized areas. Pain free! It can be a supportive tool within a comprehensive weight management plan that includes diet and exercise.

For most healthy individuals, the negatives of cryotherapy are minimal and temporary.

These can include:
Temporary skin redness: Due to the extreme cold.
Numbness or tingling: Immediately after the session.
Mild frostbite: Rare, but possible if safety guidelines are not followed or sessions are too long. This is why our trained technicians strictly adhere to safety protocols.
Anxiety: Some individuals may feel uneasy. We ensure open communication and can halt the session if needed.
Cost: Regular sessions can be an investment.

Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as severe hypertension, Raynaud's syndrome, or cold urticaria, may have contraindications and should consult with their doctor before trying cryotherapy.

"Fat freezing" typically refers to cryolipolysis, a cosmetic procedure that freezes and destroys fat cells in targeted areas. While it can lead to a noticeable reduction in fat in the treated area, it is not a significant method for overall weight loss.

The amount of fat reduction varies depending on the individual and the treated area, but it's generally in the range of 20-25% of the fat layer thickness in the treated area over several weeks or months.

As mentioned previously, cryotherapy is not a primary weight loss method. Therefore, there isn't a standard recommendation for how often to do it specifically for weight loss.

If you are interested in cryotherapy for its other benefits while pursuing weight loss through diet and exercise, the frequency would depend on your recovery needs, inflammation levels, and overall wellness goals.

Our team can discuss a suitable schedule based on your individual circumstances.

Cryotherapy itself doesn't require a "healing" period in the traditional sense. Any temporary skin redness or tingling usually subsides within minutes after the session.

You can typically resume your normal activities immediately after a cryotherapy session at our Wellington or Palm Beach County location.

The benefits, such as reduced pain and inflammation, may be felt immediately or develop over subsequent sessions.

The optimal frequency of cryotherapy sessions depends on your individual goals.

For general wellness and skin health: 1-3 times per week may be beneficial.
For sports recovery: Sessions can be done more frequently, even daily during intense training periods, as needed.
For chronic pain and inflammation: 2-3 times per week or more may provide significant relief.

Our experienced team at Beyond Concierge Healthcare in Wellington and Palm Beach County can help you determine the best frequency based on your specific needs and desired outcomes.
