Whole Body Cryotherapy

THERAPY WAIVER, RELEASE AND CONSENT FORM

In the event I participate in cryotherapy, I acknowledge and agree that the following additional terms and conditions apply:

Whole Body Cryotherapy

Whole body cyotherapy is the exposure of a person’s skin to temperatures of -150 to - 170 degrees Celsius (- 238 to – 274 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short time (3 minutes or less). At this extreme temperature, the body activates several mechanisms that have significant long-term medical and cosmetic benefits:

Skin:

The outer skin is briefly ‘frozen’, activating increased production of collagen in deeper layers of the skin (similar to lasers treatments of the face, where very hot temperatures are used). The skin regains elasticity and becomes smoother and even-toned, significantly improving conditions such as cellulite and skin aging.

Skin vessels and capillaries undergo severe vasoconstriction (to keep the core temperature from dropping), followed by vasodilation after the procedure. Toxins and other stored deposits are flushed out of the layers of the skin and blood perfusion is improved after several treatments.

The anti-inflammatory properties of cryotherapy are also used to treat chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis.

Endocrine:

The extreme cold exposure causes to the body to turn up its metabolic rate in order to produce heat. This effect lasts for 5 -8 hours after the procedure, causing the body to ‘burn’ 500 – 800 Kcal over the hours following the procedure. After several procedures, the increase in metabolic rate tends to last longer between treatments. Another ‘survival reaction’ to the extreme temperatures is the release of endorphins (hormones) that have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, and improve mood disorders. Cryotherapy has been studied for the successful treatment of medication resistant depressive disorders.

Patients furthermore experience a noticeable increase in libido, lending to the use of cryotherapy for ED and other sexual disorders.

Musculoskeletal:

The anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of cryotherapy can drastically improve joint disorders such as rheumatoid- and osteoarthritis. Athletes are using whole body cryotherapy to recover from injuries and improve their performance.

Immune System:

Cryotherapy may improve the function of the immune system and decrease stress levels.

Local Cryotherapy

Our facility uses a liquid nitrogen-cooled device to treat shoulders, back, arms, wrists, legs, and ankles.  The rapid cooling of the device operating at -160 degrees Celsius causes fast relief of pain and decreases inflammation, speeding up the healing process.  Treatments last three to five minutes.

Cryofacial©

Local application of pressurized nitrogen vapors to the skin of the face and neck.  The application stimulates the production of collagen and decreases pore size of the skin.  Over time, skin becomes more elastic and even-toned.                                                                  

Safety Instructions for Whole Body Cryotherapy:

1. You must wear cotton or wool socks (and underwear in men) to avoid chilblain.
2. Treatments are limited to 3 minutes per session. Overexposure to the cold temperatures may cause chilblain;
3. During treatment, you must avoid inhaling the nitrogen fumes; while non-toxic, they are devoid of oxygen and may cause fainting;
4. During treatment, you must keep your hands visible to the operator at the upper rim of the cryocabin as instructed;
5. You may end the procedure at any time if you experience any problems or anxiety;
6. Abnormal skin sensitivity to cold may be caused by certain foods, cosmetics, or medication, including but not limited to the following: Tranquilizers, High blood pressure medication;
7. A person who is less than (18) years of age may not use whole body cryotherapy without parental consent;
8. No metal, no plastic or moisture on your body during the treatment.

Initials: 

Contraindications to using Whole Body Cryotherapy:

Pregnancy, severe Hypertension (BP> 180/100), acute or recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, arrhythmia, symptomatic cardiovascular disease, cardiac pacemaker, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, venous thrombosis, acute or recent cerebrovascular accident, uncontrolled seizures, Raynaud’s Syndrome, fever, tumor disease, symptomatic lung disorders, bleeding disorders, severe anemia, infection, claustrophobia, cold allergy, age less than 18 years (parental consent to treatment needed), acute kidney and urinary tract diseases.

Risks of Whole Body Cryotherapy:

Fluctuations in blood pressure (due to peripheral vasoconstriction, blood pressure may briefly increase by up to 10 points systolically during treatment. This effect should reverse after the end of the procedure, as peripheral circulation returns to normal), allergic reaction to extreme cold (rare), claustrophobia, anxiety, activation of some viral conditions (cold sores) etc. due to stimulation of the immune system.
