Best Cryotherapy Treatments near me in Villahermosa

Cryotherapy is a cold therapy that exposes the whole body, or localised areas, to freezing temperatures for anything between 5-180 seconds, depending on what is being treated. It is used to stimulate collagen production, remove skin imperfections like warts, and treat cancer cells. Cryotherapy may also aid sleep and reduce muscle pain and inflammation.

A typical cryotherapy treatment lasts around 30 seconds, but it can take between 5-180 seconds. Your therapist is best placed to advise you on the length of your session based on what you are treating.

It depends on what you are treating: professional athletes may have daily sessions; those in chronic pain may opt for 3-5 sessions per week; those wanting to remove skin imperfections may just need a single treatment; and those seeking mental health or long-term aesthetic benefits may choose to have 1-2 sessions per week. Your practitioner will be best placed to advise you.

Whole body cryotherapy decreases the heart rate and increases the blood pressure; it also induces a strong immune system response and triggers the release of feel good endorphins. However, it can damage the skin. Localised treatments may cause the skin to redden or become irritated. Always seek out a qualified, experienced practitioner and ask them about the risks involved before you book your treatment.

If you’re a gym-goer it’s recommended that you avoid cryotherapy for at least two hours after you've worked out. Otherwise, the best time for your cryotherapy treatment is up to you and your practitioner.
