Cryotherapy is an increasingly popular cellulite treatment method, employing extreme cold temperatures to freeze fat cells in your body and stimulate metabolism, improve circulation, and promote collagen production in the skin. Cryotherapy has proven incredibly successful as an anti-cellulite and body contouring treatment – professional athletes often utilize it in order to accelerate recovery after training sessions as well as maximize results.
Cellulite does not result from excess body fat
Cellulite does not result from excess body fat but from poor blood circulation and water retention in connective tissues beneath the skin, meaning even with careful dieting and exercise regimens can leave dimpled skin no matter how much is lost.
Many people believe cold therapy can help reduce cellulite, but only certain forms of cryotherapy have any discernable impact. Traditional whole-body cryotherapy uses a “cryosauna” to freeze an individual with liquid nitrogen steam; studies have demonstrated this form of cryotherapy can narrow blood vessels while simultaneously breaking down fat deposits in their bodies.
Local Cryotherapy may work
Local Cryotherapy, on the other hand, can be more effective at targeting specific areas of your body. This type of cryotherapy uses a small device known as a “Cryoprobe,” which is placed over your targeted area before being covered with ice to freeze unwanted cells and trigger your body’s natural self-destructive mechanisms to eliminate dead ones.
Cryotherapy reduces unwanted fat cells and evens out skin tone by stimulating immune systems and encouraging lymphatic drainage of toxins from treated areas. Additionally, local cryotherapy may encourage lymphatic drainage of these toxins as well.
Local cryotherapy’s main advantage lies in its ability to tighten and make skin more elastic, thanks to the stimulation of collagen production by your body’s immune system, which smoothes out uneven textures, eliminating stretch marks, and helping smooth out irregular textures on uneven skin texture. Furthermore, local cryotherapy may be used as an adjunctive therapy treatment for conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, acne and psoriasis.
Long Term Benefits
Cryotherapy’s benefits are long-term; usually lasting weeks and even months post treatment session. Plus, unlike some anti-cellulite methods, cryotherapy doesn’t involve surgery so can easily fit into daily life!
Consistency and frequency are keys to the success of cryotherapy treatments, making sessions with your local provider even more successful. You should aim to receive three to six treatments each week until your skin looks firmer and elastic – this makes cryotherapy an attractive investment both in terms of improving appearance and overall health.
