What is cryotherapy?
Ultra low temperature cold therapy is a non-invasive therapy that exposes the body to an environment of minus 120 ℃ - minus 180 ℃. It is mainly used as an auxiliary maintenance treatment for physical injuries such as skin injuries, muscle strains, fractures, and aseptic inflammation.
It is currently a treatment and maintenance method used by athletes in top sports events including NBA, NFL, UEFA, etc. At the same time, it plays a role in anti-aging, improving the body's immunity, reducing fat and beauty, so it is highly sought after by Hollywood stars and beauty professionals.
Principle of ultra-low temperature ice therapy
Cold therapy is one of the oldest methods of physical therapy. Cold therapy has been known to people since the Middle Ages, when ice and snow were used as anesthetics. This is an effective form of care that can help restore physical health and improve overall health.
The peculiar method of ultra-low temperature cold therapy was first pioneered by Japanese people in 1978 and became popular among major sports teams and F1 drivers in 2010. At that time, NBA player James and football player Cristiano Ronaldo were frozen shirtless in a freezer at minus 130 ° C for 3 minutes in the therapy center, becoming the focus of media attention.
The principle of ultra-low temperature cold therapy is to respond to the low-temperature environment, and the body produces a completely natural instinctive stress response. Under stress response, blood will flow back to protect the core parts of the body. After cold therapy, blood will flow back to various parts and release more endorphins and hormones.
Cold air is completely dry and does not require injection of any substances. Cold therapy activates your body to increase more energy, and after cold therapy, it will increase blood circulation and hormonal response.
Will I be frostbitten at such a low temperature?
You can rest assured that there will be no frostbite. When a liquid is poured onto a surface at a temperature higher than its boiling point, a layer of insulating vapor is generated, preventing the liquid from coming into direct contact with the surface. This is the famous Leidenfrost Phenomenon, where the boiling point of liquid nitrogen is -195.8 ° C, causing the body to be enveloped in vaporized nitrogen gas before coming into contact with it, thus protecting the skin from harm.
The efficacy of ultra-low temperature ice therapy
3-5 minutes of ultra-low temperature cold therapy can rapidly activate the synthesis efficiency of collagen in the body at a deep level, improving the efficiency of your "collagen synthesis factory" quickly. Multiple ultra-low temperature cold treatments can significantly improve your skin, including removing spots, acne, deep hydration, fading fine lines, improving dullness, and repairing inflammation. The entire process does not require makeup removal and will not affect your daily outdoor arrangements.
Ice skin beauty
The instrument will cool the skin temperature to 5-12 degrees Celsius, after which the body will naturally break down collagen and also break down more collagen tripeptides. All of these can help improve skin tone and make it more elastic.
Low temperature can cause blood vessels to contract and expand, improving the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the skin surface, thereby alleviating various skin problems, enhancing skin immunity, making the skin firmer, and looking better overall; It also has a good effect on eliminating acne and pimples. After multiple facial cold treatments, it will greatly improve the facial skin.
Frozen weight loss
After being stimulated by ultra-low temperatures throughout the body, the body promotes the secretion of norepinephrine, and more mitochondria appear in adipose tissue, transforming the "white fat" that stores excess calories into rapidly burning calories.
Fat cells that are exposed to cold will self destruct and be gently eliminated from the body through natural metabolic processes, without the need for external intervention. Frozen fat cells will be excreted from the body through metabolism within 3 months, achieving the goal of weight loss. It has a significant effect on stretch marks and orange peel marks, and the skin becomes smooth and radiant after multiple uses.
Damage repair
The working principle of ultra-low temperature cold therapy is to use the sudden drop in temperature caused by nitrogen vapor in the cold therapy chamber. Since the cold therapy chamber is a dry and cold gas rather than a liquid, being in it for a few minutes will not cause frostbite.
The sudden drop in temperature caused by nitrogen vapor can cause changes in the levels of several white blood cell cytokines in the human body, reducing the occurrence of inflammation. After being stimulated by low temperatures, the human body accelerates the production of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as more mitochondria, which can make muscles more durable.
Low temperature can also slow down cell growth and division, reduce hemolysis caused by exercise, and give muscles enough time to recover. Local low-temperature cold therapy can also alleviate exercise injuries, relieve pain, and alleviate various physical fatigue.
Comprehensive Health
It has significant benefits for human psychology and immunity, and can significantly improve emotions, eliminate depression and fatigue. A complete course of treatment can relax the body, restore vitality and health. Effectively improve physical condition and have a comprehensive adjustment effect on the entire body from the inside out.
Joint inflammations: rheumatoid arthritis, shoulder periarthritis, wrist periarthritis, cervical periarthritis, lumbar disc herniation, sciatic nerve periarthritis, knee periarthritis, finger periarthritis, barefoot arthritis, synovitis, tennis elbow, etc;
Tendinitis: tenosynovitis, myofascial adhesions, and inflammation; Muscle inflammation: various muscle pains and muscle inflammations; Immunological categories: rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis; • Psychiatry: neurasthenia, depression, insomnia, etc; Obese individuals: burn 400-800 calories every 3 minutes, equivalent to running for 1.5 hours, reducing stress and improving resistance;
Other aspects: It can quickly enhance immunity, accelerate metabolism, increase the synthesis of anti-inflammatory drugs in the body, increase the number of new cells, and reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
