Frequently Asked Questions
Is localised cryotherapy safe?
Yes. At Cryo Relief Space, your safety and comfort come first. Our localised cryotherapy equipment is professional-grade, regularly serviced, and operated by trained professionals. The treatment targets specific areas of your body using controlled cold air — without direct contact or risk of frostbite.
What should I wear during cryotherapy?
We recommend comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated (like shorts, a T-shirt, or sportswear). You’ll also be given protective materials if needed to ensure your skin stays safe and comfortable during the session.
What does a cryotherapy session feel like?
Localised cryotherapy feels like a burst of cool, refreshing air on the skin. The temperature drops quickly but only for a short period (usually 3–5 minutes). Most people describe it as invigorating and notice reduced soreness or stiffness shortly afterward.
What are the benefits of localised cryotherapy?
Localised cryotherapy may help with:
Reducing inflammation and swelling
Easing joint or muscle pain
Supporting recovery after workouts or injuries
Tightening and revitalising the skin
It’s a quick, non-invasive way to support recovery and wellness naturally.
How long do sessions take?
Cryotherapy sessions typically last around 5–10 minutes. Sessions are designed to fit easily into your day — whether you’re on a lunch break or even after the gym.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your goals. Some clients feel results after just one session, while others benefit from a short series of treatments. For example, athletes may come weekly for muscle recovery. We’ll help tailor the plan to you — no pressure, just results.
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No referral is required to book at Cryo Relief Space. However, if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or taking specific medications, we recommend consulting your GP first.
