What is Whole Body Cryotherapy and what makes Livkraft Wellness La Jolla the best? Cryotherapy, or cold therapy, is the use and application of cold temperatures to elicit a systemic response to promote healing and regeneration while reducing pain and swelling. This can be achieved by using traditional methods such as an ice pack, a cold tub or even a morning ocean swim during the fall winter and early spring.
Whole Body Cryotherapy is much different than cold therapy. has evolved to mean exposing the body to liquid nitrogen vapors or the use of electric cooling units to achieve extremely cold temperatures to shock your entire body. For the past few years, the only option for Whole Body Cryotherapy was devices that did not allow your head, the part of our body with most heat loss and nerve endings, to be exposed to the cold temperatures. Instead, your head remained outside body was exposed to frigid liquid nitrogen vapors yet your head was still in a 70 - 75 degree environment.
At Livkraft Wellness La Jolla, our state-of-the-art Whole Body Cryotherapy Cryo Arctic technology uses cold breathable air vapors, allowing the entire body, including the head, to be exposed to the treatment. This creates the optimal recovery and regeneration conditions that have been previously unavailable with other cryotherapy machines.
Throughout this session, your entire body is exposed to temperatures ranging from -166°F to -220°F in the form of nitrogen vapor. During the 3-minute session, your body goes into fight or flight mode, sending blood flow to your core, protecting your vital organs. Once the treatment is over, a supply of nutrient rich, re-oxygenated blood is sent throughout the body, pumping nutrients to muscles and tissues while aiding in the removal of toxins. In response to the cold, an anti-inflammatory response is triggered, accelerating recovery time, alleviating aches and pains and soothing muscle soreness. Endorphins are released, leaving you invigorated and energized!

While Whole Body Cryotherapy targets the entire body, Localized Cryotherapy is specific to one area. At -260°F, Livkraft La Jolla's Local Cryotherapy utilizes chilled nitrogen vapors in a localized stream, focusing on a particular area. The local cryotherapy treatment (between five and ten minutes long depending on the body part and surface area) penetrates deeper into the tissue than whole body cryotherapy, reducing pain, inflammation, swelling, and accelerating healing and recovery time.
