Whole Body Cryotherapy at Livkraft is meant to illicit a systemic whole body response to increase circulation and reduce inflammation through exposure to an extremely cold environment utilizing CryoScience Cryo Arctic breathable air technology. This technology utilizes liquid nitrogen to cool breathable air inside the Arctic vs. other La Jolla cryotherapy centers that expose users directly to a high quantity of nitrogen vapors. This is why other San Diego cryotherapy centers require your head be outside of the chamber during a session. In terms of treatment time, Livkraft whole body cryotherapy is always three (3) minutes long. Local Cryotherapy at Livkraft is meant to provide targeted relief on a deeper level to specific areas through the use of a concentrated stream of liquid nitrogen. The CryoScience Cryo Penguin is equipped with state of the art technology to ensure the highest safety standards in the industry. During the session the Penguin constantly measures your skin temperature, alerting your technician of the optimal time to spend on each area. Session times vary from 5-10 minutes depending what body part is receiving local cryotherapy. The general rule is the larger the area, such as the lower back, the longer the treatment. The smaller the area such as a foot or ankle, the shorter the treatment.
