CRYOTHERAPY: Is this the Frozen answer to Beauty PERFECTION?

But firstly let me  explain what is Cryotherapy :

Cryotherapy is the local or general use of low temperatures in medical therapy . Cryotherapy is used to treat a variety of benign and malignant tissue damage, medically called lesions. The term “cryotherapy” comes from the Greek cryo (κρύο) meaning cold, and therapy (θεραπεία) meaning cure. Cryotherapy has been used as early as the seventeenth century.

Its goal is to decrease cell growth and reproduction (cellular metabolism), increase cellular survival, decrease inflammation, decrease pain and spasm, promote the constriction of blood vessels (vasoconstriction), and when using extreme temperatures, to destroy cells by crystallizing the cytosol, which is the liquid found inside cells, also known as intracellular fluid (ICF). The most prominent use of the term refers to the surgical treatment, specifically known as cryosurgery. Other therapies that use the term are cryogenic chamber therapy and ice pack therapy.

Hyperbaric gaseous cryotherapy

In 1993, Christian Cluzeau developed the hyperbaric gaseous cryotherapy also called NeuroCryoStimulation or NCS that can immediately relieve pain by acting on four physiological effects:

1. Painkiller
2. Vasomotor
3. Anti-inflammatory
4. Muscle relaxation

This technique, practiced by some doctors, physiotherapists and veterinarians consists in applying for a short time on the skin up to the painful area, carbon dioxideat −78 °C with a pressure of 50 bars and a frequency of 400 Hz. Sessions can be repeated at will. Unlike ice packs, the usage of carbon dioxide does not produce pain. Even if not as dangerous as liquid nitrogen used in cryosurgery, the low temperature could cause burns.

Where to do the best  Cryotherapy treatment …?

Monte Carlo is luxury and glamor personified. Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces and Maybachs line the streets, the only shopping to be done is at Valentino, Céline and Hermés, and if you’re not wearing fur—forget it. It’s also one of the jetset crowd’s favorite places to spa retreat and indulge in unusual procedures that produce incredible results. Case in point: Europe’s only cryotherapy rooms at the Thermes-Marins Monte Carlo. Cryotherapy is the use of extremely low temperatures to treat symptoms such as tissue damage (it’s excellent for athletes), decrease inflammation, increase cell rejuvenation, improve skin tone and reduce signs of aging. It’s commonly used as a spot treatment, but at the Thermes-Marins, it’s a two-room experience.
