Cryotherapy for weight loss?

Ever wanted to burn up to 800 calories in only 3 minutes? Whole body cryotherapy can do just that. Cryotherapy, sometimes known as cold therapy, is the use of low temperatures in medical and cosmetic therapy. It is a fast and healthy process that accelerates the body’s natural recovery while improving overall wellbeing and energising the body.

Used for years by athletes to aid muscle recovery, it has begun to hit the mainstream after studies found it can enhance our skin, boost collagen production and improve skin firmness. Plus, it's now been found to be beneficial for insomnia, depression and anxiety, as well as offering pain relief benefits.   

Cryotherapy is a dry, non-invasive process that lowers a person’s skin temperature for up to 180 seconds. The benefits of cryotherapy are triggered when you reach -110° or colder, which is the temperature at which the body kicks into its 'fight or flight’ mode. You will feel the chill during the treatment, however the ice-cold sensation is only superficial. This is because cryotherapy is activated by vaporised Nitrogen (dry cold) so you’ll warm up again quickly afterwards.

While your body quickly recovers from the chill, the age-defying benefits of cryotherapy have lasting benefits, which is why dermatologists, physiotherapists and psychologists are increasingly taking interest in the treatment.

Cryotherapy is helpful in boosting the metabolism. The use of the intense cold on the skin has a notable effect on the way the body metabolises fat and can increase the metabolic rate for 24-48 hours after the treatment. This increase obviously differs in the individual, but if used regularly, in conjunction with the right diet and exercise, it can aid the weight loss process.

After your Cryo treatment, your brain signals send a signal to your body to pump a rush of blood to your core to protect the organs. Then, the enriched oxygenated blood circulates back through your body, boosting immunity, cell renewal, and providing natural pain relief. This uses a considerable amount of energy to warm up again which will assist you to achieve faster weight loss.  After a whole-body cryotherapy session, you’ll burn the 300 – 800 calories.  It’s as simple as that.
