High-pressure Cryotherapy is a cutting-edge treatment that utilizes extremely low temperatures to stimulate various health benefits in the body. Unlike traditional cryotherapy methods, which involve using liquid nitrogen that has no tissue penetration, high-pressure cryotherapy employs a specialized machine that delivers liquid CO2 at high pressure, and temperatures as low as 32º- 43º F / 0.0º – 6.1º C . This advanced technique allows for a more controlled and targeted treatment, enhancing the overall therapeutic effect.
