INSTANTCRYO™ releases liquid C02 at -78°C/-108°F at a high pressure of 756 psi (50 bar).

Skin surface temperature of the treated area is reduced to 4°C/39°F within 30 seconds.

Scientific studies show that the speed at which the skin temperature decreases and the amount of pressure applied influences the quality and effectiveness of localized cryotherapy treatments.

The high pressure & reduction in temperature to 4°C/39F° trigger several receptors in the skin.�
This stimulates a cascade of physiological responses that together make up the ‘Cryotherapeutic Effect’.

The Physiological Responses of the ‘Cryotherapeutic Effect'

6 of 20

VASOMOTOR EFFECT – Initial Vasoconstricton

Extreme cold triggers initial vasoconstriction.
Blood vessels in the cooled area constrict reducing in diameter.
Blood is redirected to vital organs, where it attains heightened oxygen and nutrient density.
This reduces inflammation & swelling in cooled tissues and prevents further build up of excess fluids.

7 of 20

VASOMOTOR EFFECT - Vasodilation

Post-treatment, vasodilation occurs.
Smooth muscle relaxes and blood vessels expand, increasing in diameter.
Blood enters at an increased volume.
Oxygen, collagen & other essential nutrients are delivered for repair & recovery, while toxins and other waste substances are removed.
Increased blood circulation improves muscle elasticity and flexibility reducing tightness and increasing mobility.

Before Cryotherapy Treatment

After Cryotherapy Treatment

Blood enters cooled tissues at approximately 4x the volume of normal blood flow.

Blood Flow

9 of 20

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECT

The initial reduction in blood flow to the cooled area reduces swelling and inflammation.
The accumulation of excess fluid is reduced, along with the amount of inflammatory substances and immune cells reaching the site.
There’s also research to suggest extreme cold reduces the production of certain pro-inflammatories and increases the production of anti-inflammatories.

10 of 20

ANALGESIC EFFECT

Research indicates extreme cold has both an analgesic and anesthetic effect, decreasing pain and feeling.
Nerve transmission and activity in pain fibers are believed to reduce which heightens pain threshold and tolerance.
In addition, the reduction in inflammation and swelling, along with the later increase in blood circulation, helps relieve muscle tightness, discomfort, and pain.

MYORELAXANT EFFECT

Cryotherapy may help to reduce muscle spasms by slowing down nerve impulses.

Muscle cramping, general soreness, DOMS and discomfort are eased.

Mobility is improved.

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

Current science indicates that cryotherapy may help enhance lymphatic drainage.

The Lymphatic system relies on muscle contraction to push lymph fluid through lymph vessels. Extreme cold exposure causes muscles in and near lymph vessels to contract forcing lymph fluid through the nodes enhancing lymphatic drainage.

There’s also research to suggest that pressure further increases the flow rate of lymph fluid.

Efficient lymphatic drainage helps reduce inflammation & swelling, aid in oedema and hematoma drainage, eliminate toxins, improve immunity, and revitalise skin.

RELEASE OF HORMONES

The research proposes that cold exposure triggers the release of hormones such as adrenaline, epinephrine, and noradrenaline (also known as norepinephrine).

These chemicals help elevate mood, improve alertness, and boost energy levels. They can have positive benefits for reducing stress and improving mental well-being.

The shift from a sympathetic to a parasympathetic state may also help promote relaxation by increasing melatonin production, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.
