The Cold Truth of Cold Treatments
Throughout life, you have doubtless had to ice an injury to reduce swelling and support healing. This same principle applies to cold plunges and cryotherapy. Concentrated exposure to cold temperatures causes blood vessels to constrict, slowing blood flow and minimizing the spread of inflammation.
But cold therapies are not just for recovering athletes. When administered at stable temperatures, cooling technology can ease inflammation, relieve pain, and boost antioxidants for individuals of all fitness levels.
Though they share many benefits, the real differentiators between a cold plunge and cryotherapy lie in the temperature and the technique.
Taking the Cold Plunge
For an effective cold plunge experience, you must submerge your body in cold water. To feel its therapeutic effects, the water should be around 50º or lower—a threshold that may be difficult to achieve and maintain with tap water at home.
Though many find that the frigid water helps them feel less sore and more alert, the thought of enduring those temperatures for up to 10 minutes may feel daunting. That is where cryotherapy comes in.
Embracing Whole-Body Cryotherapy
At Ona Skincare, you do not have to race other participants into a body of water or worry about the ice in your tub melting too quickly. Our trained providers prepare the state-of-the-art Juka Cryo Sauna chamber according to your treatment plan.
Each session of cryotherapy near Brentwood lasts between 30 seconds and 3 minutes, during which you are exposed to cold air between -225º and -250º Fahrenheit. Though you might feel a tingling “pins and needles” sensation, the feeling fades as soon as your session concludes.
Your provider can schedule regular treatments, or you can join a monthly cryotherapy membership to maintain your revitalized results.
Benefits of Cryotherapy
The effects of cryotherapy are immediate and lasting, as the intense cooling technology impacts your circulation, boosts your metabolism, and supports cellular turnover.
As the mind and body relax and your body secretes “feel-good” endorphins, many find relief from pain, inflammation, stress, depression, and anxiety.
This jump-start to your metabolism helps you feel more energized and focused, often supporting weight loss, as well.
As the cold air triggers skin repair, your dermis produces more collagen and elastin fibers, strengthening and tightening for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Feel Free, Not Frozen
With expertly controlled cryotherapy chambers, you can truly experience its healing properties. Schedule your session of cryotherapy near Brentwood to restore your wellness and vitality in mere minutes.
