Cryomatic

Cryotherapy was developed in 1978 by healthcare practitioners in Europe & Japan. The excellent results obtained in treating rheumatism using nitrogen paved the way for the further progress of cryotherapy. Today, cryotherapy is widely used across developed countries, with certain countries like Germany and France even reimbursing the treatment cost through health insurance.

Before enrolling into the kolors cryomatic programme, our doctors will analyse, understand your goals and health history along with your current lifestyle and suggest you the right programme. Post consultation, the therapist will appraise you about the cryomatic and the safety instructions to be followed. The cryomatic chamber is chilled using liquid nitrogen vapours. The skin is only in contact with this cool air while liquid nitrogen is safely vaporised internally within the cryomatic equipment away from you. Nitrogen being a non-hazardous gas, the exposure to the same is similar to that of breathing regular air, whose composition includes 78% of nitrogen. Additionally, the chamber is also elevated with your neckline above the chamber, enabling you to breathe regular room-air. Your comfort is our primary interest; hence the chamber doors are never locked giving you control over the therapy at all times. Enter the chamber only after the therapist requests you to do so. Make sure you are completely dry and suitably clothed before entering the chamber. Additionally, any metallic clothing, jewellery, or piercings should be removed and can be stored safely in the lockers.

The therapy is very tolerable and, for most parts, relaxing too. Although the thought of extremely low temperature may seem very cold, the air within the chamber is dry making it very comfortable. Moreover, as the therapy only takes a maximum of 3 minutes, you wouldn't feel the cold to be unpleasant except towards the end of the treatment, where a mild prickly sensation may be felt which goes away instantaneously once you exit the chamber.

Of course, you can use it. Your head is always above the chamber during the session. You will be breathing regular air, and our therapist will always maintain eye contact with you. Additionally, the door of the chamber is never locked. In case of discomfort, you may step out of the chamber anytime.

In such an intense cold atmosphere, the temperature on the surface of the skin reaches close to freezing. This initiates the receptors in the skin to transmit signals to the brain, indicating that the body is in a situation that is different from routine. The body then immediately reacts by activating your survival instincts. The overall blood circulation will be enhanced, and the production of serotonin, endorphins (natural painkillers and happy hormones), as well as natural anti-inflammatories will flow through the bloodstream. Toxins are also flushed out from critical organs because of the enhanced flow of blood enriched with oxygen and nutrients. The body prepares to heal itself and sets in process a self-preparatory phase.

Every therapy releases endorphins and serotonin, the elements that provide your body with additional energy. You will find a reduction in muscular and joint pain after the session. You will have enhanced flexibility, a glow of skin, and a fresh feeling. These effects last for about 18-24 hours. An improvement in sleep quality can also be witnessed. With continuous sessions, you can see differences in skin tightening, weight loss, and reduction in cellulite.

The number of sessions depends entirely on your requirement. A single session gives you an instant jolt of energy, recovery and an overall feel good factor that may last for up to 24 hours. Based on your health and weight loss goals, the doctors suggest the number of sessions required. Suppose you are an athlete or fitness enthusiast. In that case, getting a pre and post workout session will help increase your strength and endurance along with assisting in active recovery from your training. If you are suffering from rheumatism, it is ideal to come every day for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. If followed, this continual therapy can result in about 9 to 12 months of reduced pain. Ultimately the number of sessions is completely based on your needs, and our therapist will be more than happy to discuss the same with you to create a plan.

It is preferred to keep yourself dry before the treatment. After that, there's no no need to take a shower. The entire treatment is completely dry so you can get dressed immediately after the session.

Individuals with certain contraindications may not be able to undertake cryomatic treatments. Some of them include: pregnancy, moderately or severely elevated blood pressure (blood pressure above 180/95 mmhg), an acute heart attack, or a heart attack within the past 6 months, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiovascular diseases in which symptoms are present, a pacemaker, intermittent claudication (also called peripheral arterial disease), venous thrombosis: a blood clot in the veins, acute cerebral haemorrhage or a stroke in the past, epileptic seizures, raynaud's phenomenon, fever, cancer, lung conditions in which symptoms are present, bleeding disorders, severe anaemia, persons younger than 18 years old (parental consent is required for treatment), acute kidney diseases and acute disorders of the urinary tract. Our team of doctors & trained therapists are always available to clarify any questions you may have and give you advice accordingly.

Cryomatic is reasonably a no - risk to a low-risk therapy and is well tolerated by all our clients. A blood pressure variation by a few points is expected during the therapy due to vasoconstriction. This returns to normal once the therapy ends. Protective clothing provided by us will prevent and safeguard your sensitive areas from being frostbitten.

You will not get a cold. In fact, under such intense cold, the temperature of the body increases. This is because cryomatic stimulates the immune system making you less susceptible to colds.

Cryomatic cannot cure rheumatism. However, it can help alleviate some of the pain. A course of 10 to 20 treatments in quick sequence will have the much-desired effect. Rheumatism patients will experience that the pain is reduced greatly, even months after treatment.

After a cryomatic session, it is best advised to avoid a jacuzzi or hot sauna for at least 6 hours. In addition, the consumption of alcohol should also be avoided for a couple of hours after the treatment.

Of course. In fact, we highly recommend that you indulge in some sort of workout immediately after your session. Working out after a session can make the benefits of the session last longer. Our therapist will be happy to provide a short schedule based on your requirement.
