What is Cryotherapy? 

Cryotherapy, also known as cold therapy, is the controlled use of subzero temperatures on a small area, or the entire body, to stimulate the body’s natural healing responses and enhance overall wellness. 

How Cryotherapy Works for Skin Health

During a whole‑body cryotherapy session at Optimize U, your skin is exposed to temperatures ranging from -100°C to -140°C for 2 to 4 minutes. This extreme cold causes blood vessels to constrict, then rapidly dilate once you exit the chamber. The resulting surge in blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrients while flushing out toxins, key steps toward a brighter, more even complexion.

Key Skin‑Boosting Benefits of Cryotherapy

• Collagen Stimulation: Cold exposure triggers fibroblast activity, promoting collagen production to firm and plump skin.
• Inflammation Reduction: By calming inflammatory pathways, cryotherapy soothes acne, redness, and puffiness.
• Pore Tightening: The thermal shock temporarily tightens pores, creating a smoother surface.
• Radiant Glow: An endorphin rush follows each session, leaving skin looking energized and luminous.
• Enhanced Product Absorption: Post‑treatment, your skincare products penetrate more deeply for amplified results.

Is Cryotherapy Safe for Your Skin?

Cryotherapy sessions are brief and overseen by trained professionals. You’ll wear protective gear, gloves, socks, and earmuffs, while minimal clothing ensures maximum exposure. While cryotherapy is safe for most individuals, those with cold-sensitivity conditions like Raynaud’s syndrome or circulatory issues should consult a healthcare provider before treatment. 

What to Expect During Your Cryotherapy Session

Before you enter the cryo chamber, you’ll don minimal protective gear, insulated gloves, socks, and a headband to shield your extremities from extreme cold. During treatment, a trained technician will guide you through slow rotations to promote even exposure. Most people return to their day immediately afterward, enjoying both the cosmetic and mental benefits of the cold therapy without downtime. In the hours following your treatment, you may notice skin that feels tighter, smoother, and more revitalized.
