Please note that this list is indicative but not exhaustive. If you have any injury, illness, serious medical condition, or any health-related concern, we strongly recommend consulting a physician prior to using localized high impact cryotherapy.
Part II. Advisements and Contraindications
Having any of the contraindications described in this document will require you to use discretion for your own well-being.
Cold applications may feel slightly uncomfortable and can leave the skin pink for a short period while the skin temperature returns to normal. There is no damage and no recovery time required. If you experience burning sensations, pain, or significant discomfort at any time during treatment, we strongly advise you to immediately terminate the session at your own discretion.
Localized High Impact Cryotherapy for Pain Management
We use a high-pressure flow of gasiform CO₂ to lower tissue temperature in the treated area. This process, called cryostimulation, causes blood vessels to constrict in response to cold, followed by dilation and improved blood flow after treatment. This reduces inflammation and swelling and stimulates the release of hormones such as noradrenaline and beta-endorphins, which are powerful natural pain relievers.
Applications include athletic recovery, recovery from soft tissue, muscle, tendon, or overuse injuries, post-surgical recovery, and painful motion-limiting medical conditions. This treatment does not impose health risks but should not be applied to highly sensitive skin or open wounds and should be avoided by individuals with cold allergies or cold-induced conditions.
Localized High Impact Cryotherapy for Fat Freezing / Body Sculpting
This process uses a phenomenon called cryolipolysis. Cooling targeted areas to the point where subcutaneous fat cells—highly sensitive to low temperatures—become damaged and die results in gradual slimming. After treatment, the body’s lymphatic system permanently eliminates the damaged fat cells.
Due to the strain placed on the body during elimination of cellular debris, fat freezing treatments should not be performed if you are pregnant, undergoing dialysis, have only one kidney, have any kidney or liver disease, or have an impaired circulatory system. Contraindications also include cold sensitivity or allergy, active cancer, or undergoing chemotherapy.
High Impact Cryo Facials
Cold applied to the face, neck, or décolletage causes blood vessels to constrict and then dilate, improving circulation and making the skin appear firmer and more toned. This process also reduces inflammation, helps fight bacterial conditions such as acne, and stimulates collagen production for anti-aging benefits.
Cryo facials should not be used if you are cold-intolerant or if your skin is highly sensitized due to sun exposure or treatments such as chemical peels. A two-week break is recommended following procedures such as Botox or dermal fillers.

Except for pain management purposes, clinical photographs are essential for tracking progress and staff education. They may also be used to support technological development by equipment suppliers.
Different consent levels apply depending on how images are used. Please choose one consent option. At minimum, consent for case notes is required to monitor progress. Your choice of consent level will not affect your treatment.
Consent to Open Publication: I consent to anonymous publication of my progress images in journals, textbooks, marketing materials, or open-access websites. Anonymity means images will focus only on treated areas without showing my face or disclosing my identity.
