What happens with cryotherapy \/ cold therapy?<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In order to keep its core body temperature at 37 \u00b0 C, the body boosts its metabolism. The skin surface temperature drops by approx. 15 Kelvin. The body activates its protective mechanism and produces heat, and the release of endorphins creates a feeling of happiness. This also provides energy, focus and promotes calorie consumption. The body’s own defence system is activated and detoxification is stimulated. Blood flow and the production of collagen increases and the production of new cells is stimulated. The body releases hormones and enzymes into the bloodstream to aid regeneration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Is a cold chamber or a cryosauna used in the cryoduct?<\/h4><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

For whole-body cryotherapy, we use an electricity-driven high-performance cold chamber<\/a> (most powerful cold chambers from Art of Cryo), i.e., no cryosauna or a nitrogen-operated system. In the cabin, the entire body is exposed to very dry air with a temperature of -110 \u00b0 C. In this way, it is safe to expose the entire body including the head to the extremely low temperature. An electrically cooled cryochamber has the additional advantage that the cold is evenly distributed over the body. Nitrogen quickly sinks to the floor of the cabin and ensures that the upper body is less cold than the lower body.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

How long does the cold application last?<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The application time is calculated individually to the second for each user by the RemediCool software based on a detailed anamnesis. The time of application is influenced by gender, age, body size, weight, skin type and the area of application. Basically, the application times are 3:00 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

How safe is it to use the cold?<\/h4><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cryotherapy has been used safely for over 30 years. Due to our close cooperation with doctors and specialists, we can fall back on a team of medical experts. Our employees in the Cryodukt are certified cryo operators for whole-body cryotherapy and are therefore well trained to be at your side with any questions you may have.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

How do you dress in the cold room?<\/h4><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

During the application, you wear short sportswear or swimwear (important: women’s bikini or bra, but no bathing suit!) Sensitive parts of the body are protected with a face mask, earmuffs, gloves, socks and chamber shoes. We provide everything.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Are there any risks in using it?<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

No, we will discuss everything you need to know about the application in advance and give you advice in detail. Due to the individual application time, the use of the RemediCool software, as well as the special training of our employees, we can offer safe and successful refrigeration applications. Blood pressure may rise a little, but this is only temporary and normal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

How does the first visit work?<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

With the certified software from RemediCool, we first determine the general applicability of a cold therapy for you. If applicable, the software determines your individual application time based on your personal physiological data (such as skin type, fitness level, gender, and BMI). Combined with your thermal perception before and during your first application at -110 \u00b0 C, we can calculate your personal ideal application time taking your goals into account. Your cold experience begins with a continuous cold adjustment in the two anterooms at -10 \u00b0 C and -60 \u00b0 C, and the actual application takes place at -110 \u00b0 C. A trained full-body cold coach will accompany you throughout the application. Of course, the application can be interrupted at any time and the chamber can be exited.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Can I catch a cold from cryotherapy?<\/h4><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

You can\u2019t catch a cold during treatment. However, your immune system is stimulated. Most likely, you will find that you are generally much less susceptible to colds.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

Do I have to shower before or after the session?<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Showering before treatment is not required. Dry skin is even better! Your skin will stay dry even during the session. Showering is also not required after the session.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/span>

What are the possible side effects after treatment?<\/h4><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
    \n
  • Energy boost or fatigue (from detox)<\/li>\n
  • Headache (due to detox)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
    <\/div>
    <\/div><\/div><\/span>

    How often can I repeat the application?<\/h4><\/span>
    <\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Basically, you can go into the cold chamber every day. The recommended repetition of the application is calculated individually by the RemediCool software together with the optimal application time for each user.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Kryotherapie, Cryotherapie or Cryotherapy?<\/h3><\/span>
    <\/div><\/div><\/div>

    The meaning is the same. \u00abKryotherapie\u00bb is just the correct variant in German. However, as more and more terms from foreign languages are being incorporated into German, \u00abcryotherapy\u00bb or\u00a0 \u00abcryotherapie\u00bb is also increasingly found in German-written texts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1998,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2079","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryodukt.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryodukt.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryodukt.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryodukt.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryodukt.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2079"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cryodukt.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2079\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4212,"href":"https:\/\/cryodukt.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2079\/revisions\/4212"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryodukt.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryodukt.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
