    How Cryotherapy Increases Collagen Production

    Cryotherapy was initially used by athletes to relieve pain and speed up recovery time but in recent years, it has become popular within the wellness industry, being used to instigate collagen production to promote healthy-looking skin. Celebrities including Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Alba, Daniel Craig and Mark Wahlberg have all spoken out about their support of the treatment and its benefits.

    What is Cryotherapy?

    Cryotherapy, commonly shortened to cryo, is a treatment that momentarily freezes the skin to bring about multiple benefits including collagen production. Collagen is present in our bones, muscles, skin blood vessels and more and is effectively the ‘glue’ that holds the body together.

    Collagen makes up a third of the protein in the human body and gives the skin strength and elasticity as well as helping to create a fibrous network of cells called fibroblasts, a foundation upon which new cells can grow.

    It also replaces and restores dead skin cells and certain collagens play a protective role in covering delicate organs such as the kidneys, for example. Some types of collagen fibrils are actually stronger than steel!

    Women generally experience a reduction in collagen production after the menopause and post 60, a decline in collagen production is normal for both men and women.

    How Cryo Treatment Promotes Collagen Production

    Cryo helps to reboot the body and sends it into shock, rendering it to believe it is in danger which in turn, triggers the body’s survival mode for several minutes.

    Blood vessels are constricted to preserve the temperature and a subsequent sudden blood rush once you’re out of the cryochamber causes the body to remove blood waste and toxins speedily. A further function that is stimulated is collagen production.

    A session of cryotherapy facial takes around 10 minutes and you don’t have to remove your make-up to have it. Post-treatment, your skin’s elasticity will be restored, appear smoother and have a healthy glow as well decreased pigmentation. Other beauty benefits include:

    • Stimulating lymphatic drainage
    • Enhancing blood circulation
    • Improving sleep
    • Stimulating cell renewal
    • Strengthening nails
    • Activating metabolism
    • Burning more calories

    Other Benefits of Cryotherapy for Beauty

    Cryotherapy offers several benefits beyond just improving skin health. It is known to stimulate lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, which can help detoxify the body and improve overall wellness. Additionally, many users report better sleep and enhanced cell renewal, which can contribute to a more youthful appearance. The treatment also activates metabolism, helping to burn more calories and potentially aiding in weight management.

    However, it’s essential to seek cryotherapy from a reputable clinic to ensure your suitability for the treatment and to avoid any potential risks. The treatment involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures, and it must be done correctly to avoid adverse effects.

    The Buzz Around Cryotherapy

    Cryotherapy has generated quite a buzz on social media platforms. Opinions are mixed, with some users expressing skepticism and others praising its benefits. For example, @Bromka’s friend humorously noted that the only thing lighter after cryotherapy was their wallet. On the other hand, @Sophie_Choudry described the experience as an adrenaline rush and a good alternative to a long run, showcasing its appeal as a rejuvenating activity.

    Moreover, some users swear by cryotherapy’s health benefits. @mistressmari_ claims that the treatment helped improve their overall health and reduce winter sickness. Conversely, @dekker prefers ice baths over cryotherapy, and @aarondfrancis remains uncertain about its long-term effects on joint pain.

    Popular Treatment

    Cryotherapy has emerged as a popular treatment in the wellness industry, offering a range of benefits from enhancing skin health to improving overall well-being. Its ability to stimulate collagen production makes it an effective anti-aging treatment, while its other benefits, such as improved circulation and metabolism, contribute to its growing popularity. Despite some skepticism, many users, including celebrities, vouch for its effectiveness. If you’re considering cryotherapy, ensure you choose a reputable clinic to enjoy its full benefits safely.
