Cryotherapy
FAQ
Is a medical license required to operate a Cryotherapy machine?
No, a medical license is not necessary, as cryotherapy equipment is not classified as a medical device by the FDA or other regulatory agencies.
To operate cryogenic equipment, obtaining an operator training certificate from Cryomed is sufficient. Separate certificates are provided for the theoretical portion, covered by Cryomed's comprehensive online course with top-notch protocols and safety guidelines for all applications, as well as hands-on operator training.
How often should you use a cryotherapy chamber?
Whole-body cryotherapy can be conducted safely up to twice daily. For general health and wellness, it is recommended to undergo cryotherapy five times per week for a minimum of two weeks. For those aiming to lose weight and boost metabolism, three to five sessions per week for at least two weeks are advisable, though these should ideally be accompanied by regular exercise and a balanced diet to achieve the best results.
Does cryotherapy detox your body?
During whole body cryotherapy, your body may experience detoxification, contributing to improved health and wellness. Local cranial cryotherapy involves applying nitrogen to the head and face, which helps relax the patient and stimulate the release of endorphins, enhancing overall well-being. This technique is particularly effective in reducing stress and decreasing anxiety.
