Cryotherapy is the controlled destruction of unwanted tissue by the precise application of extreme cold. The process is called cryo-necrosis, tissue destruction by freezing. Tissue destruction occurs when cells are low in temperature and at least -80 ° F and ice crystals will form. The ice crystals break the cell membrane, destroy the cells organelles and protein matrixes. Water then rushes into the surrounding area causing blistering and disruption of the local blood supply.

Cryotherapy is quicker than other treatments and patients can be in and out in seconds. There are no limitations on activity except to protect the area from damage or abrasion, they can work, bath, swim, immediately after the treatment. There’s no cut, no bleeding, no sutures and no risk of infection.
