Originating from Finland, the X°CRYO™ is a local cryotherapy device designed for targeted use on various body areas, including the skin, joints, or muscles. Particularly favored for the knees, ankles, wrists, and elbows, it offers an easy, safe, and quick treatment experience with a recommended duration of only 1-3 minutes. The versatility of X°CRYO™ extends to facial cryotherapy using specialized attachments like the cryo facial mask.
Intended purpose & operation
The electrically operated X°CRYO™ cryotherapy device operates without liquid gases, relying on a high flow rate and air volume to rapidly cool the skin surface tissue. This achieves a thermal shock in the treated area safely, without the risk of frostbite or other side effects. The airflow rate is adjustable, catering to the preferences of the individual undergoing treatment.
X°CRYO™ is chosen by some for comfort and flexibility: in the knees, ankles, wrists and elbows, etc.
