A little history...
Cryotherapy has existed since antiquity but it is only since the 1970s that the application of cold began to interest scientists.
In Europe, general cryotherapy was first developed in Poland where it has been used for more than twenty years. Its development has now reached maturity. It can be used in high-level sport as well as in the medical environment or fitness centers.
Mechanism:
Cryotherapy is exposure to cold which gives the body an invigorating , toning effect and a feeling of lightness . It relieves stress , depressive states , sleep disorders and migraines .
Health professionals speak of thermal shock when the skin temperature fluctuates between 12° and 18°C. At the end of the treatment, the body temperature decreases by around 6° to 8°C, so it remains gentle and without attacking the body.
This treatment is found in:
* A Slimming program, it acts as a tissue toner while contributing to fat burning , which helps in body remodeling . Cryotherapy causes a local drop in temperature of 6°C to 8°C. To restore normal temperature, the body triggers a warming response which draws on caloric reserves . The method has the double advantage of correcting contours while firming the body. It visibly reduces the orange peel effect and firms the epidermis thanks to the diffusion of destocking active ingredients.
* A Heavy Legs program, cryotherapy acts by reducing the caliber of the vessels which leads to vasoconstriction and moves blood away from the surface of the skin with a decongestant effect. This treatment provides a feeling of light legs by improving blood circulation and promoting micro-circulation which allows the elimination of toxins.
* A sports program is a technique that allows you to prepare for exercise and optimize physical recovery . This treatment helps reduce the sensation of pain , while improving physical tone . It contributes to reducing recovery time after exercise .
