I love athletes! For what? Because they have the healthiest lifestyle. They have to be at their best all the time to reach the podiums, so they are very careful in everything they do, from eating to the heat of the water they shower with.
Speaking of showers, I recently discovered something that blew my mind, and people don't talk about it enough!
This is called cryotherapy ! It sounds weird, but read on because it is life changing!
💋 What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy, which literally means "cold therapy", is a technique where the body or face is exposed to extremely cold temperatures for several minutes.
Cryotherapy can be given to a single area or you can opt for whole body cryotherapy. Localized cryotherapy can be delivered in a number of ways, including ice packs, ice massages, cooling sprays, ice baths, and even probes delivered into tissues.
Cryotherapy was first used in medicine before entering the beauty field, as it can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions and certain cancers, including prostate and liver cancer. This therapy can treat both external (on the skin) and internal (inside the body) tissues. This treatment may also be called cryoablation.
In this article, we will only focus on the beauty and wellness use of cryotherapy.
💋Who can use it?
It's generally safe, but it's important to talk to a doctor before trying cryotherapy.
Pregnant women, children, people with severe high blood pressure, and people with heart problems should not try cryotherapy.
💋What are the benefits?
Cryotherapy offers many benefits for those looking to recover quickly from injuries or to reduce overall tension and fatigue resulting from strenuous activity and exercise. No wonder athletes use it quite often! Athletes and athletic competitors reap the benefits of cryotherapy. Cryotherapy can redirect fresh blood to injured sites, speed up tissue repair, and reduce muscle pain and swelling. All of this can help you get back into the game faster! That's why Lebron James and Mayweather are addicted to it!
Cryotherapy can help you improve your quality of life in different ways such as:
💖Reduces migraine symptoms
💖Numbs nervous irritations
💖Helps treat mood disorders
💖Reduces arthritis pain
💖May help treat low-risk tumors
💖May help prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease
💖Treats atopic dermatitis and other skin conditions
💖Pain relief and muscle healing
💖Weight loss
💖Inflammation reduction
💖 Reduce anxiety and depression
💋How to use Cryotherapy?
The most popular form of cryotherapy involves sitting in a cryotherapy cabin for 3-5 minutes. (See image below)
During a session, the cabin user wears the compulsory “comfort & safety pack” which consists of protective gloves and disposable socks as well as his underwear or bathing suit. A comfortable bathrobe is provided for entering and exiting the cryosauna.
The Cryo facial also exists! A cryotherapy facial involves pumping liquid nitrogen (or dry ice) all over your face for 2-3 minutes. The goal is to give the skin a radiant, youthful and even appearance.
Cryo facials are an effective way to firm and brighten the skin. They increase blood flow to the face, which can make skin look healthy and plump.
Have you ever heard of this girls? Have you ever tried cryo-facials? Tell me in the comments section below, honeys!
Big kisses 💋 & See you next Monday my beautiful!
