What is Cryotherapy Used For?
Placing the body under short-term stress can trigger healing and health-boosting functions. Cryotherapy uses a brief period of exposure to very cold air to trigger its beneficial effects. Among other things, cryotherapy can boost your metabolism and raise your energy levels for improved overall health.

What is Cryotherapy?
The Refinery Medspa and Wellness uses the CryoUSA Cryosense, a cryotherapy system that allows precise control for your comfort. Cryotherapy uses a short period of extreme cold, no more than a few minutes, to stimulate your body’s endorphins and enhance metabolism. Endorphins are responsible for a “runner’s high” and other sensations that athletes get when they push their bodies to work hard. They have a beneficial effect on your mood and energy levels, and they act as a natural pain reliever.
What is Cryotherapy Used For?
Cryotherapy offers a wide range of benefits. Along with boosting the metabolism and improving energy levels, cryotherapy can:
- Calm irritated or overactive nerves
- Ease arthritis pain
- Increase antioxidants
- Improve skin conditions like dermatitis
- Reduce the risk of dementia
- Improve symptoms of mood disorders
- Control inflammation
- Treat and prevent migraines
- Assist with weight loss
The antioxidants produced as a result of cryotherapy reduce the effects of aging. They may have a protective effect on the brain and other organs most harmed by aging.
How Does Cryotherapy Work?
You will sit in a cryotherapy booth, usually for three to five minutes. The time depends on how low the temperature goes and what you feel comfortable with. Many people find that the treatment becomes more comfortable each time. Cryotherapy can also be administered to individual body parts to reduce pain and inflammation.
How Much Does Cryotherapy Cost?
A cryotherapy session costs between $30 and $70 based on national averages. Some athletes have the treatment daily during their training. Most people will benefit from just one treatment, but more long-term benefits develop with regular sessions. Talk to your provider about how often you should have cryotherapy for optimal benefits.
Is There Any Downtime With Cryotherapy?
You will not have any downtime with cryotherapy. Most people feel energized and filled with vitality after treatment, and the mood-boosting power of endorphins carries a sense of well-being and happiness. You can return to your daily activities with a boost of energy.
