Criotherapy

This physiotherapeutic technique consists in the controlled reduction of body heat by applying cold temperatures in the areas to be treated. This procedure originates the continuous and simultaneous change from vessel constriction to vessel dilation, which improves the disposition and stiffness of cutaneous collagen and, therefore, produces skin toning. Likewise, it decreases the inflammatory process of postoperative treatments and limits the duration of edema and ecchymosis. Also, cryotherapy helps make surgical recovery a short process with minimal discomfort due to its analgesic effect.
