Yes! Both Cryotherapy & Red Light Therapy are Non-Invasive and safe for the average person.
Persons who have conditions like hypothyroidism, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, heart conditions, nervous system diseases, and blood diseases, amongst others, there is a greater risk of cryotherapy side effects and some of them can be severe or dangerous.
Additionally, there is a greater risk of cryotherapy side effects in persons who are over the age of sixty five, those with substance abuse problems, persons with emotional disorders and those who have known problems with cold tolerance. These are examples of why screening before treatment is so critically important.

When your body is exposed to extreme temperature, the cold receptors on your skin send a message to your brain and central nervous system that your core temperature could be in danger of dropping.
This forces the blood away from peripheral tissues, joints and muscle towards your core and internal organs. During the 3 minute session, your blood short loops through your natural filtration system (heart, kidney and liver) and removes toxins and inflammatory properties of the blood.
After exiting the Cryo Spa, filtered blood flows back to the peripheral tissues with oxygen, nutrients and enzymes and improves circulation.
Over the next 48 hours, the body returns to homeostasis by reducing pain and inflammation and increasing energy levels. Most importantly, the cold stimulates your body’s central nervous system, enhances immune function and improves other regulatory systems in the body. Recovery times from strenuous workouts and injury are improved and shortened.
-
Yes, whole-body cryotherapy is generally safe when conducted under the supervision of trained professionals. However, people with certain medical conditions (such as heart disease, respiratory issues, or extreme cold sensitivity) should consult their doctor before trying WBC.
-
Common benefits include:
Reduced muscle soreness and joint pain
Faster recovery from exercise or injury
Decreased inflammation
Enhanced mood and energy levels
Improved skin tone and reduced signs of aging
Boosted metabolism and potential weight loss
Relief from chronic pain conditions (e.g., arthritis, fibromyalgia)
-
Cryotherapy is often used as a complementary therapy for conditions like:
Chronic pain (e.g., arthritis, fibromyalgia)
Muscle injuries
Inflammatory conditions (e.g., tendinitis)
Anxiety and depression (due to endorphin release) It is not a replacement for medical treatment, and anyone with a medical condition should consult their doctor before starting WBC.
-
Sessions last 3-minutes. The exposure to extreme cold is brief but intense.
-
The frequency depends on your goals. For general wellness, 3-5 sessions per week are common. Athletes and people seeking relief from chronic pain may do it more frequently. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your specific needs
-
You will typically wear minimal clothing, such as a bathing suit or underwear. To protect sensitive areas, you will be provided with gloves, socks, slippers, and sometimes earmuffs or a headband. We also offer a robe to wear while waiting for your session.
-
Yes, many athletes use cryotherapy to enhance recovery and reduce muscle soreness after intense workouts or competition. By lowering inflammation and accelerating muscle recovery, WBC can help improve athletic performance and reduce downtime.
-
No, whole-body cryotherapy is not painful, but you will feel very cold. Most people describe it as a strong but tolerable sensation of cold, similar to standing in a freezer. Some report feeling a tingling sensation as blood rushes back to the extremities after the session.
-
While both involve cold exposure, WBC uses dry cold (via nitrogen vapor or cold air) and operates at much lower temperatures than an ice bath. An ice bath uses cold water and is typically between 50°F and 59°F, while WBC temperatures can drop to -220°F. WBC is less uncomfortable than an ice bath and offers quicker exposure times.
-
No, there is no downtime after WBC. Most people feel energized immediately after their session and can return to their normal activities. In fact, many experience an endorphin boost that leads to improved mood and energy levels.
-
Whole-body cryotherapy is not recommended for individuals with:
Severe heart conditions or pacemakers
Uncontrolled high blood pressure
Cold-induced asthma or respiratory issues
Raynaud’s disease or cold sensitivity disorders
Pregnant women or those with blood circulation issues should also avoid WBC. Always consult a doctor before starting WBC, especially if you have any health concerns.
-
Whole-body cryotherapy is not a primary weight-loss treatment, but it may help boost metabolism by stimulating the body’s thermogenic response (the process of heat production). Studies suggest that cold exposure can lead to an increase in calorie expenditure, potentially aiding weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
-
Results vary based on the individual and the purpose of the treatment. Most people report immediate benefits such as reduced pain, improved mood, and increased energy. For chronic pain relief, inflammation reduction, or enhanced athletic recovery, multiple sessions may be needed before seeing significant results.
-
Yes, nitrogen is a friendly, non-toxic gas. Nitrogen composes 78% of the air that we breathe. The other components are 16% Oxygen, 1% Hydrogen, and 5% other gases. Nitrogen is as common and safe as Oxygen. In fact, many ice cream parlors use clouds of liquid nitrogen to flash-freeze liquid cream into ice cream (e.g., Creamistry).
-
Red light therapy uses wavelengths of red light (typically 630-660 nm) to penetrate the skin's surface and promote healing, reduce inflammation, and rejuvenate the skin. Near-infrared therapy uses longer wavelengths (800-1000 nm) that can penetrate deeper into the body’s tissues to target muscles, joints, and even bones.
-
Approved by the FDA, Red Light Therapy is the process of exposing skin to red light wavelengths which have low energy. Red Light Therapy uses red and near-infrared light (NIR) to stimulate mitochondria, a small structure found in each cell of your body. Mitochondria play an essential role in producing energy for the cell and are important for reducing inflammation.
Red Light Therapy, applied through the skin, penetrates deep into the body producing many beneficial effects. Red Light Therapy is used to improve skin quality, manage chronic pain, enhance workout performance, and improve sleep quality.
-
RLT: Acne, rosacea, eczema, fine lines, wrinkles, scars, hair loss, and sun damage.
NIR: Muscle soreness, joint pain, arthritis, tendonitis, nerve pain, and deep tissue injuries. It also promotes healing after surgery or injury.
-
Red Light Therapy (RLT):
Skin rejuvenation (reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and scars)
Treatment of acne and other skin conditions
Hair growth stimulation
Inflammation reduction
Near-Infrared Therapy (NIR):
Pain relief in muscles and joints
Enhanced muscle recovery
Reduction of deep tissue inflammation
Improved circulation and wound healing
Support for conditions like arthritis and neuropathy
-
Red light therapy typically penetrates the skin to a depth of about 5-10 mm, which is ideal for skin treatments. Near-infrared therapy penetrates deeper, reaching 25-40 mm into the body, which is better for treating muscles, joints, and bones.
-
Yes, both therapies are considered safe when used properly. They are non-invasive and do not use harmful UV radiation.
-
A typical session lasts between 10 to 20 minutes.
-
For best results, sessions are recommended 3-5 times a week for several weeks, depending on the condition being treated. Maintenance sessions may be needed after achieving desired results.
-
Yes, red light and near-infrared therapy are often used together in combination devices to provide a comprehensive treatment. This approach allows for both skin surface-level and deep tissue benefits in one session.
-
Side effects are rare and mild, typically limited to slight warmth or redness in the treated area. These effects usually subside quickly. Always follow the recommended usage guidelines to avoid overexposure.
-
The timeline for results depends on the condition being treated:
Skin improvements (e.g., wrinkles, acne) may be noticeable after a few weeks of consistent use.
Pain relief and muscle recovery can often be felt after just a few sessions.
For chronic conditions or deep tissue injuries, it may take several weeks or months to see full results.
-
While RLT and NIR therapy are not directly weight-loss treatments, they may aid in fat loss by improving metabolic function and reducing inflammation. Some studies suggest that they can complement exercise and a healthy diet for better body contouring results.
-
These therapies are generally safe for most people. However, those who are pregnant, have photosensitive conditions, or take medications that increase light sensitivity should consult with a healthcare provider before starting treatment.

A Cryo Facial is the use of cryotherapy (very cold temperatures) on the face. It’s a non-invasive treatment intended to reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles using our state-of-the-art cryo-aesthetics equipment. The treatment stimulates collagen production and helps improve overall skin appearance.
-
Utilizing our cryo-aesthetics equipment we apply very cold temperatures to the skin by way of a cryo wand.
These cold temperatures create a thermal shock & micro-trauma to the skin. This process slows the breakdown of collagen, and promotes increase in collagen production inside the skin cells (epidermis).
-
A Cryo Facial may leave some individual’s face slightly red. But the redness should only be temporary.
The redness that may occur is a result of the hyper-cool dry gas and/or cold applicators we utilize on the skin.
-
The Cryo Facial treatment itself is rather quick — 10 minutes. But we reserve about 25 minutes per appointment right now to give our clients and us enough time to chat about the treatment & goals
-
Least Aggressive: 1x per week, for first 4-8 weeks. Then 1-2 times per month
Average: 2x per week, for the first 4-8 weeks. Then 1-2 times per month
Most Aggressive: 3x - 4x per week for first 4 weeks. Then 2 times per month
-
Everyone responds differently to our Cryo Facial treatments. Some may begin to see results after one treatment, others may need several.
-
At our client’s request, a Cryo Facial session can focus on the neck area, with a specific emphasis on reducing the appearance of a double chin.
Results largely depend on the chin and the amount of adipose tissue (“fat”) that is under the skin.
-
Skin tightening takes time, so a single Cryo Facial (with focus on the neck) wouldn’t be enough to repair and tighten loose or sagging neck skin. Our recommendation would be to book a single Cryo Facial appointment and experience the treatment first-hand.
If you feel you’d like to return for more treatments, you could purchase our 6 or 12 session package.
-
Multiple Cryo Facial treatments should help improve the appearance of acne scars. The healing process on the face takes a bit longer and is a little unpredictable.
But, Cryo Facials help the skin regenerate collagen at a faster rate, so hopefully that repair process will help improve the appearance of existing acne scars.
Of course, for existing acne, our Cryo Facials can make a significant difference by reducing the inflammation, redness, and bacterial elements within existing acne.
-
Cryo Facials helps reduce acne in the following ways:
Thermal shock (from the cold temperatures) causes a reduction in the production of oil in the skin, reducing the acne.
Combats any bacterial infection that is going on.
Reduces inflammation.
Brings acne to a head.
-
For those with severe cases of face acne, we recommend daily Frotox Face Acne treatments until we see the acne begin to clear. Then, either weekly or every other week for maintenance.
For those with less severe cases, we recommend treatments ever 4-7 days to begin. Then, either weekly or every other week for maintenance.
-
You must wait a minimum of 2 weeks after any facial injections. The nitrogen could result in the freezing of certain injections.
-
Yes, Cryo Sculpting is considered safe for most people. It is FDA-approved and uses controlled cooling to target fat cells without harming skin, muscles, or nerves. However, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider to determine if it’s appropriate for you.
-
A typical Cryo Sculpting session lasts between 10 - 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
-
Most individuals see results after one treatment, but some may require additional sessions to achieve their desired outcome. Your practitioner will discuss a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
-
You may begin to notice changes as early as 3 weeks after treatment, with more noticeable results after 2 months. The body will continue to eliminate fat cells for up to 4-6 months post-treatment.
-
Most people report minimal discomfort during the procedure. You may feel a cold sensation, pulling, or tingling as the treatment begins, but this typically subsides as the area becomes numb.
-
Cryo Sculpting can treat various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, flanks (love handles), upper arms, double chin, and back. It's ideal for reducing stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise.
-
Once the fat cells are destroyed and eliminated, they do not regenerate. However, maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine is essential, as remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain.
-
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. These usually subside within a few days or weeks.
-
Yes, there is no downtime required after Cryo Sculpting. Most people return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure.
-
Cryo Sculpting is ideal for individuals who are close to their target weight but have pockets of stubborn fat that don't respond to diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss solution and may not be suitable for those who are significantly overweight.
-
Localized cryotherapy is a treatment that uses extremely cold temperatures to target a specific area of the body, such as an injured muscle, joint, or inflamed tissue. Unlike whole-body cryotherapy, which exposes the entire body to cold, localized cryotherapy focuses on a specific spot for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and healing.
-
Localized cryotherapy involves applying cold air (typically -30°C to -60°C or -22°F to -76°F) directly to the affected area using a handheld device. This cold exposure causes vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels), reducing inflammation, pain, and swelling in the treated area. After treatment, vasodilation (expansion of blood vessels) occurs, which promotes healing by increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery.
-
Localized cryotherapy offers several benefits, including:
Reduction of pain and inflammation
Faster recovery from injuries
Relief from muscle soreness and joint pain
Improved mobility and range of motion
Enhanced skin health and appearance (for cosmetic treatments)
Targeted treatment of specific problem areas, like tendinitis, arthritis, or post-surgical recovery
-
Localized cryotherapy is effective for treating a variety of conditions, such as:
Sports injuries (e.g., sprains, strains, tendinitis)
Arthritis and joint pain
Muscle soreness and stiffness
Bursitis and tendinitis
Post-surgical swelling and pain
Skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, and acne (when used for cosmetic purposes)
-
A localized cryotherapy session typically lasts between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the severity of the condition.
-
Yes, localized cryotherapy is generally considered safe when performed by a trained professional. The treatment is non-invasive and carries minimal risk, especially when safety protocols are followed. However, people with certain conditions (e.g., extreme cold sensitivity or skin conditions) should consult a healthcare provider before treatment.
-
While both types of cryotherapy use cold temperatures, the key difference is the area being treated. Localized cryotherapy targets a specific area for focused relief, making it ideal for treating isolated pain or injuries. Whole-body cryotherapy is more general and used for overall recovery, mood enhancement, and systemic benefits. Localized cryotherapy is more practical for treating specific injuries or skin conditions.
-
No, localized cryotherapy is not painful. You may feel a strong cold sensation, but most people find it tolerable. In fact, the cold often numbs the treated area, providing relief from pain almost immediately.
-
The frequency of localized cryotherapy depends on the condition being treated. For acute injuries or pain, 3-5 daily sessions may be recommended initially. For chronic conditions like arthritis, 2-3 sessions per week may be appropriate.
-
After a session, you may experience immediate relief from pain and a reduction in swelling or inflammation. You may also notice improved mobility in the treated area. Any redness or mild discomfort will subside quickly, and there is no downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately.
-
Results vary depending on the condition being treated. For pain relief and inflammation reduction, you may feel immediate results after one session. For chronic conditions or cosmetic treatments, multiple sessions may be needed to achieve the best results over time.
-
No, there is no downtime after localized cryotherapy. You can return to your regular activities immediately following the treatment. Many people feel a sense of relief and increased mobility in the treated area after a session.
-
Leg compression therapy is a treatment that uses controlled pressure to increase blood flow in the legs, reduce swelling, and promote recovery.
-
Leg compression therapy works by applying external pressure to the legs in a rhythmic pattern. This stimulates blood circulation, helps move lymphatic fluid, and reduces fluid buildup. The therapy can enhance recovery, prevent blood clots, and reduce muscle soreness by promoting faster removal of waste products like lactic acid.
-
The key benefits include:
Improved blood circulation
Reduced muscle soreness and fatigue
Decreased leg swelling and edema
Enhanced lymphatic drainage
Faster recovery from exercise or injury
Relief from conditions like varicose veins and lymphedema
-
Leg compression therapy can benefit a variety of people, including:
Athletes seeking faster recovery after intense workouts
Individuals suffering from poor circulation or chronic venous insufficiency
People dealing with lymphedema or swelling in the legs
Those recovering from surgery or injury
Individuals at risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
-
Leg compression therapy is commonly used to treat:
Lymphedema (swelling due to lymphatic system issues)
Chronic venous insufficiency (when veins struggle to send blood back to the heart)
Post-surgical swelling
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention
Muscle soreness and fatigue
Varicose veins
-
Yes, leg compression therapy can help manage the symptoms of varicose veins by improving blood flow and reducing the pressure in the veins. It can relieve pain, reduce swelling, and prevent further vein damage.
