SubZero Recovery Services
What to expect:
The Whole Body Cryosauna looks like a stand-up tanning booth. You undress, put on a towel/robe, gloves, and socks before stepping inside. The cryo-tech will have you close the door and remove the robe while placing your hands at the top. A liquid nitrogen tank attached to the machine pumps the cold air in. Treatments last for 1.5 to 3 minutes.
How it works:
When we subject our bodies to ice cold temperatures, our bodies go into a fight-or-flight response that is meant to keep us from freezing . As the cryosauna exposes the skin to super-cold temperatures, our bodies go into “I am freezing, must survive” mode and the blood rushes to our core to keep our organs going. There, it is enriched with oxygen and nutrients as our body works in super-survival mode. As soon as we step out into the warm air, the oxygenated blood rushes back out, flooding the peripheral tissues and flushing out toxins.
How this helps the body, skin, and muscles:
The brief “freeze” activates collagen in the skin similar to laser treatments, improving skin elasticity and tone and reducing cellulite.The constriction of blood vessels followed by the post-cryosauna flushing also flushes out toxins and helps with conditions like psoriasis and rosacea. The procedure also boosts endorphins and speeds up metabolism, pushing the body to burn 500 to 800 calories in the few hours after the procedure (and more over time with regular sessions). The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect also helps with joint disorders and muscle soreness. Overall, immunity is boosted.
Why it’s better than an ice bath:
Ice baths can be painful, and even after 30 minutes or so submerged the skin temperature doesn’t go below about 41 degrees or so. And by that time, the muscles are literally frozen and pretty immobile. For athletes, this means downtime they can’t afford. With cryosauna treatments, the skin is exposed to dry cold of minus 220 degrees Fahrenheit. As soon as you step out of the cryosauna, blood rushes back out from your core and you feel a rush of endorphins and energy – making for a quick and high-octane return to physical activity.
What is Cryoskin 2.0?:
Cryoskin 2.0 is a non-invasive treatment for slimming and toning that utilizes the science behind cryolipolysis. Our slimming treatment focuses on destroying fat cells, and our toning treatment focuses on increasing collagen, getting rid of cellulite, fine-lines, and wrinkles.
How does it work?:
The treatments are powered by cryolipolysis – a medical treatment used to destroy fat cells by freezing within the temperature range of +5 to -5 ˚C. The cold treatment causes apoptosis or cell death of subcutaneous fat tissues.
Is it safe?:
The treatments are very safe and non-invasive. Many clients visit us during the lunch break or immediately before or after a workout. There is no down-time after the treatment. Schedule a free consultation today.
How long does it take to see results?:
Results are seen immediately, but it is recommended to treat specific areas between 3 – 6 times for best results. Afterwards, the treatments can last for years, but it is recommended to schedule 1-2 treatments every 6 months while maintaining a healthy diet and exercise.
What are common results?:
Research has shown a 38% fat reduction in treated areas. These results were seen over the course of 10 weeks after treating 100 individuals between 3-6 times each. Call and schedule over the phone with us today!
What to expect:
Local Cryotherapy is a focused stream of liquid nitrogen vapor that allows us to focus on one specific area of the body. You can wear your regular clothing and we will need to be able to access the skin of the area that you would like to be focused on. The 4-7 minute process is a completely dry experience and actually quite comfortable.
How It Works:
The super cold temperatures produced from our local cryotherapy machine will help reduce inflammation and help aid in any pain in a specific area. It is essentially a “super ice pack” that will show a dramatically bigger difference than you would see with using ice. The machine drops to temperatures of around -200 degree and ice packs rest around a temperature of 41 degrees.
How This Helps The Body, Skin, & Muscles:
The brief “freeze” activates collagen in the skin similar to laser treatments, improving skin elasticity and tone and reducing cellulite.The constriction of blood vessels followed by the post-cryo also flushes out toxins and helps with conditions like psoriasis and rosacea. The anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect also helps with joint disorders and muscle soreness.
What to expect:
Lying on your back in complete comfort, cryogenically cooled air will be blown onto your face for 9-10 minutes. This will cause the cells to produce more collagen reducing the sign of wrinkles, redness or skin irritation and leaving you glowing.
How It Works:
The super cold temperatures produced during our SubZero Facials will help blood-flow underneath the skin which will reduce acne, reduce blemishes, reduce inflammation, and help with the production of new collagen cells to make the skin more elastic and decrease fine lines and wrinkles.
What to expect:
NormaTec Compression include a control unit and attachments which go on the legs, arms, or hips. They use compressed air to massage your limbs, mobilize fluid, and speed recovery with the patented NormaTec Pulse Massage Pattern. When you use our systems, you will first experience a pre-inflate cycle, during which the connected attachments are molded to your exact body shape. The session will then begin by compressing your feet, hands, or upper quad (depending on which attachment you are using). Similar to the kneading and stroking done during a massage, each segment of the attachment will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release. This will repeat for each segment of the attachment as the compression pattern works its way up your limb.
How It Works:
Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, Sequential Pulse Technology uses dynamic compression (pulsing).
The patented pulsing action more effectively mimics the muscle pump of the legs and arms, greatly enhancing the movement of fluid and metabolites out of the limbs after an intense workout.
How This Helps The Body, Skin, & Muscles:
Veins and lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow. Similarly, NormaTec Pulse Technology uses hold pressures to keep fluids from being forced in the wrong direction. Because extended static pressure can be detrimental to the body’s normal circulatory flow, Sequential Pulse Technology releases the hold pressures once they are no longer needed to prevent backflow. By releasing the hold pressure in each zone as soon as possible, each portion of the limb gains maximal rest time without a significant pause between compression cycles.
