In some cases, direct cooling of a specific area may be more beneficial for client concerns than Whole Body Cryotherapy. Using cooled air streams our Localised Cryo can be used on an area of skin without affecting the surrounding tissues. The treatment takes as little as 1-2 minutes and up to 15 minutes for larger areas, the effect on the area is most spectacular. It can significantly help relieve pain and repair damaged tissue.

Localised Cryotherapy doesn’t hurt, although the exposure to the cold is often a strange sensation during your first session. Cryotherapy uses the cold temperatures to foster the body’s natural healing process. With modern technology, this involves utilizing liquid nitrogen to cool and treat targeted areas on the body – or the face with our Cryo Facials.

The treatment is excellent as a supporting therapy that is used directly on an area for improving chronic pain, inflammation, itching, an array of skin conditions and sports injuries. It’s also great for general vitality and rejuvenation, giving the skin a fantastic glow, improving scar tissue, stretch marks and cellulite. Also, the use of cryotherapy after an operation is quite common as it accelerates the healing process and improves any pain without high levels of medication and the accompanying side effects!

Professional athletes recover faster and perform at higher levels when cryotherapy is applied.

Finally, it’s great for looking amazing as it improves the skin tone, texture and tightens if you have a special occasion or an event to prepare for.

The practitioner will move the applicator (the low-temperature air stream) in smooth scanning movements/motions, keeping the device at a distance of 2-4 cm from the skin. A typical area of 10×10 cm is treated approximately for 1 – 2 minutes, at a maximum intensity level of the air stream. You will be sat down and you can relax while you feel the cool air touch the surface level of your skin.

Anywhere between 3-10 minutes. This will vary and depend on the area being treated, the size of area, and what we are treating for.

Obviously, this really depends on each individual person! If you wish to battle inflammation or skin conditions, we recommend doing an intensive treatment program with 4-5 treatments each week for 2 weeks.
For sports athletes they may need to come in daily to speed up recovery and enhance strength and endurance. Depending on your specific issues and objectives our health advisors can help put together the right treatment plan for you.

Localised Cryotherapy specially targets a certain area, keeping the rest of the body and skin protected from the cold. It is direct and you will often have a course of treatment, it is used more for skin rejuvenation, tightening and specific injury points to combat inflammation. Whole Body Cryo is more intense, and much colder due to the nature of the treatment and the experience within the sauna, and full body repair is enhanced rather than localised skin repair in a specific area.

All our treatments are well tested and completely safe. During your treatments, there will always be an educated therapist to guide you and make sure you go through the treatments under controlled and safe conditions.
