Localised cryo

Cold air down to −60°C is directed at a specific muscle or joint, generating a thermal shock that contracts and then dilates the local vasculature. The rebound floods the area with healing enzymes, accelerates blood flow and reduces pain, swelling and inflammation. A more powerful form of icing — without the wet recovery.

What to expect

The session,
step by step.

Targeted cold-air therapy for muscle pain, joint inflammation and recovery.

01

Identify

Your practitioner reviews the target area — joint, muscle or skin zone — and exposes it for treatment.

02

Cold pass

The applicator scans the area at 2–4 cm distance, delivering cold air down to −60°C. Vessels constrict to protect tissue.

03

Rebound

Vessels dilate on rewarm; oxygenated blood and healing enzymes flood the area. Pain and inflammation drop noticeably.

04

Recovery

Blood flow returns rapidly to the treated area. Most clients feel immediate pain relief. Your practitioner checks range of motion and sensation.

The science

why targeted cold works faster.

Localised cryo creates an intense thermal-shock response in a specific zone. Vessels constrict to protect tissue, then expand on rewarm — driving accelerated blood flow, healing enzymes and supporting hormones into the treated area.

  • Reduces local swelling, pain and inflammation
  • Boosts collagen production and supports tissue repair
  • Helps clear infection-supporting environments in the skin (bacterial, viral, fungal)
