How does Cryotherapy work?
At FrostFit Cryo, our technicians use advanced COâ‚‚ technology to deliver focused cold therapy through a pressurized, concentrated dry vapor. Following the application of cold, the treated area naturally responds by widening blood vessels, promoting a healthy rush of oxygen-rich blood. This increased circulation helps deliver essential nutrients while supporting the body's natural detoxification process through the lymphatic system. This refreshing response offers multiple wellness benefits: Supports relief from muscle tension and promotes faster recovery after physical activity. Encourages skin rejuvenation by enhancing firmness, improving tone, and supporting a more youthful appearance. Aids in the natural breakdown and elimination of unwanted fat cells, helping to refine and sculpt treated areas without affecting surrounding tissues.

Can I workout before or afterthe Cryotherapy treatment?
At FrostFit Cryo, your safety and experience are our top priorities. For optimal results, the area being treated should be clean, dry, and free from any lotions, sweat, or open skin concerns such as cuts or abrasions. Clients have the flexibility to schedule their cryotherapy sessions based on personal preference — some enjoy the energizing, refreshing effects before a workout, while others prefer to experience the rejuvenating benefits after exercise.
-
Are there any restrictions or considerations to be aware of prior to undergoing the treatment?
Cryotherapy services at FrostFit Cryo are intended for individuals in general good health. Certain conditions may require you to delay or avoid treatment for your safety and comfort. These include having a pacemaker, unmanaged high blood pressure, sensitivity to cold, a current pregnancy, a history of cancer, deep vein concerns, or recent major cosmetic procedures. We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after using a tanning bed, experiencing sun exposure, or applying a local anesthetic. Additionally, please allow at least one month after receiving a new tattoo, piercing, body contouring procedure, or injectable treatments (such as Botox, fillers, or implants) before scheduling your session.

How often should I do Cryotherapy?
The recommended frequency of cryotherapy treatments varies depending on the area and desired outcome. For general wellness, muscle recovery, and inflammation, treatments are typically recommended 2–3 times per week initially, then 1–2 times weekly for maintenance. CryoSlimming treatments, which focus on fat reduction and body sculpting, are best scheduled once a week, usually in a series of 5–10 sessions. For skin tightening and cellulite reduction with CryoToning, treatments are suggested 2 times per week until goals are achieved, followed by monthly maintenance. CryoFacials, targeting fine lines, skin rejuvenation, and acne, are ideally done 1–2 times per week, with monthly follow-up sessions for upkeep. For localized pain relief and recovery, treatments may be recommended 3–5 times per week initially. However, individual treatment plans may vary based on your unique needs, goals, and how your body responds to the therapy. A consultation with a FrostFit Cryo technician will help determine the best schedule for you.

What can I expect at my Cryotherapy session?
Before your session, you will meet with your technician for a brief consultation. During this time, they will review your intake forms and consent documents with you, discuss what to expect during your service, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Together, you will also identify your desired goals for the cryotherapy treatment. Once escorted to the procedure area, your technician will provide clear guidance on appropriate attire and positioning to ensure your comfort and optimize the effectiveness of the session. Our cryotherapy services utilize a targeted, handheld Sub-Zero device that delivers a concentrated spray of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to the skin’s surface. This precise application produces a localized cold shock response, known as "Cryostimulation," promoting wellness benefits through rapid cooling and pressurized delivery.
-
Does Cryotherapy hurt?
Cryotherapy sessions are generally well-tolerated and often described as invigorating. During the session, you may experience a brief chill or mild tingling sensation as your body is exposed to targeted cold temperatures. Discomfort is typically minimal and temporary. Our trained technicians carefully monitor each session to ensure your comfort and can make adjustments as needed based on your preferences. Many clients find the experience refreshing and revitalizing, often leaving them feeling energized and rejuvenated.

For safety, it is also recommended to wait at least 24 hours after sunbathing, tanning bed use, or the application of topical anesthetics before undergoing treatment. Additionally, clients should allow at least one month of healing time following tattoos, piercings, body contouring procedures, silicone implants, Botox, or dermal fillers before scheduling a session.

How long will my results last?
The duration of results from cryotherapy can vary based on individual factors and the specific goals of your treatment. Many clients notice immediate benefits, such as enhanced muscle recovery, improved skin tone, and a general sense of well-being after a single session. For longer-lasting results, consistency is key. Establishing a regular cryotherapy routine can help support ongoing improvements in areas such as body contouring, skin vitality, and recovery. Individual outcomes may differ, and factors such as lifestyle habits, physical activity, nutrition, and overall wellness practices can all influence how long results are maintained. During your consultation, our team will work with you to recommend a personalized treatment schedule that aligns with your individual goals and supports lasting benefits.
