Cryotherapy in Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton therapists for amazing Cryotherapy!

Though this treatment comes with a name that sounds awfully futuristic, this is in fact a dermatologically tested and recommended treatment. Starting as a quick and easy way to remove warts and other skin lesions, Wolverhampton cryotherapy, has moved away from those roots. Whilst it is still ideal for freezing these lesions that grow on the surface of the skin, often due to a viral infection, the opportunities available to modern clients of this treatment are seemingly endless.

A wide range of benefits available!

Originally, this process would simply use liquid nitrogen, freezing the effected skin cells. This method of flash freezing however, is really the tip of the iceberg. Using updates in science and technology, this treatment is at the cutting edge of modern tech, allowing it to be used to treat everything from muscle pain and sprains right through to swelling in soft tissues post operation or injury. Used as a catch all term for therapies that focus on the use of cold to assist bodily issues, this grouping includes the use of ice packs and even total body immersion in ice baths or cold therapy as it is more commonly known.

What does it involve?

The real piece de resistance, however, comes in the cryotherapy chamber. Clinics and spas that are lucky enough to be able to offer this ground-breaking therapy make use of these chambers to expose the whole body to extremely cold air. With temperatures below -100°C these treatments last between two and four minutes, with the latter being the maximum time a body should be exposed. Utterly different to the other treatments available, it treats the whole body at once and in an instant, creating astounding effects.

Various techniques are used!

There are two separate methods used to reach these insane sub-zero temperatures. The first option, is liquid nitrogen. This creates rapid cooling at high speeds, creating an instantaneous change in temperature and offering an uncontrollable rate of temperature drop. The second option is the use of refrigerated air. In practice however, both methods create the desired effect allowing a rapid reduction in temperature.

What do you wear?

The client will wear minimal clothing which is used to protect delicate areas of the body so men wear shorts and women wear shorts and a crop top. Both will however wear gloves, ear coverings, a mask to protect the nose and mouth and dry shoes and socks to protect the feet. These coverings minimise the risk of cold related injuries to ensure the therapy remains safe and effective.

A popular treatment for many clients!

Professional athletes are just one of the examples when it comes to the use of cryotherapy. These individuals have been known to use the chambers up to twice a day, keeping their joints and muscles in the best state possible. This is not overly common however, with the average client more likely to use it in a regular series of treatments or treatment plan, in order to treat the issues directly. This is usually organised at the initial session after a discussion with your clinician. The cryotherapy chamber cost can differ greatly, dependant on personal preference and smart decision making. The average price comes in at around £50 per session, though this can be considerably cheaper for those willing to use the chamber alongside someone else.

Block booking is often more cost effective!

For those who are aware they will be using the chamber on a more regular basis, booking a series of sessions in the form of a treatment plan can cut down the price even more, with some clinics even offering a monthly subscription to the chamber, allowing you to get anything from a single session a month through to unlimited access. All of this of course is dependant on the individual location, with certain options even appearing on our offers page here on PamperTree, helping you to cut down the cost even more.

This therapy, as with most other options out there, requires careful thought prior to the first sessions. It is important to speak openly and honestly to your clinician in the initial consultation in order to ensure you are suited for this treatment. Some clients may struggle with the temperature differences and others still may have underlying medical conditions that could cause issues. Individuals with diabetes for example, or any nerve condition may do more harm then good, as they may not feel the effects and even worse may cause further nerve damage.
