Cryostimulation
A dry, pressurized vapor therapy, applied topically. Unlike nitrogen cryotherapy equipment, this treatment delivers cold vapor under pressure at the point of skin contact. This provides a therapeutic massage function in addition to the cooling function.
What is Cryostimulation & is it a good fit for me?
Offered in Augusta, GA this wellness treatment can be utilized for body contouring, fat loss & aesthetics.
Cryo-Facial with Cryostimulation is achieved by stimulating thermal shock in the desired area by spraying a dry vapor of carbon dioxide (CO2) at -108 degrees fahrenheit/-78 degrees celsius or applying a cooled applicator at around -40 degrees fahrenheit /-40 degrees celsius directly onto the skin. The skin and underlying tissues will be cooled to less than 39 degrees fahrenheit/4 degrees celsius in around 30 seconds. The treatment area will be exposed to 30-60-second streams of vapor or cold compress using a freeze-thaw technique.
Cryo-Sculpting with Cryostimulation is achieved by stimulating thermal shock in the desired area by spraying a dry vapor of carbon dioxide (CO2) at -108 degrees fahrenheit/-78 degrees celsius directly onto the skin. The skin and underlying tissues will be cooled to less than 39 degrees fahrenheit/4 degrees celsius in around 30 seconds. The treatment area will be exposed to 90-second streams of vapor using a freeze-thaw technique. The treatments are powered by the stimulation of collagen production, increased micro-circulation and, where necessary, cryolipolysis. Cryolipolysis is a cold treatment used to eliminate fat cells/manage pain/reduce inflammation cooling them to within the temperature range of 41 degrees fahrenheit/5 degrees celsius to 25 degrees fahrenheit/-4 degrees celsius. The cold treatment causes apoptosis or cell death of subcutaneous fat tissues.
Pain management with Cryostimulation is achieved by stimulating thermal shock in the affected area by spraying a dry vapor of carbon dioxide (CO2) at -108 degrees fahrenheit/-78 degrees celsius directly onto the skin of the affected area. The skin will be cooled to less than 39 degrees fahrenheit/4 degrees celsius in around 30 seconds. The affected area will be exposed to 90-second streams of vapor using a freeze-thaw technique. The treatments are powered by Cryostimulation – a treatment used for immediate pain relief to help improve mobility and aid recovery by cooling tissues to within the temperature range of 41 degrees fahrenheit/5 degrees celsius to 25 degrees fahrenheit/-4 degrees celsius. The cold treatment encourages the release of hormones including noradrenaline and Beta-Endorphins which are powerful natural pain killers. Cryostimulation also reduces systemic inflammation and muscle tension and stimulates an immediate improvement in blood flow and lymphatic drainage.

CONTRAINDICATIONS – Localized cryotherapy treatments are very safe for the vast majority of people. However, there are some contraindications, which means treatment should not be provided, including: Cryoglobulinemia, cold hemaggulation or cold hemolysis, cold-induced itching, impaired arterial blood flow as from stage II, Raynaud’s Disease, severe sensory disorders, trophic disorders, hypersensitivity to cold, blood disorders related to coagulation, vasculitis, hypersensitivity to cold, peripheral artery disease, chronic venous insufficiency & post-thrombotic conditions, microvascular dysfunction during diabetes/diabetic foot, skin anesthesia, paraesthesia, polyneuropathy, deficient liver or kidney function, open wounds or broken skin, sunburn, frostbite, Botox or fillers 2 weeks prior, anemia, any other condition where the application of cold vapor may cause harm. This is not an exhaustive list - if you have any other injury, illness or medical condition or concerns, you should consult your physician prior to using Localized Cryotherapy.
Results are not always immediate, and some benefits will continue to develop over weeks, or even months, post-treatment. Because your body and lifestyle are unique and individual, so too will be your results. If desired outcome is not achieved or anticipated, we can discuss further sessions/frequency recommendations. If desired outcome is achieved, we can discuss future sessions/frequency for maintenance.
