Frequently Asked Questions
CRYOTHERAPY
  • WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF WHOLE-BODY CRYOTHERAPY?

    There are minimal risks associated with Whole-Body Cryotherapy, given all our specialists at Innovation Wellness have been certified to operate the Cryosense. Innovation Wellness provides all guests with fresh cotton gloves and socks that protect the more temperature-sensitive extremities such as your hands and feet, which eliminates the risk of frost bite.

    It is recommended that you do not have any other chemicals on the skin that could react with the cold, liquid nitrogen such as lotions or creams. Fluctuations in blood pressure during the procedure by up to 10 points systolically can occur but reverses after the procedure is finished, as peripheral circulation returns to normal. Additionally, guests may experience some redness on their skin, but this will subside shortly after the treatment.

  • CAN I USE CRYOTHERAPY IF I AM CLAUSTROPHOBIC?

    Yes, you may. The Cryosense door is held by a magnet and never locked. You may step out at any time. The Cryosense is open to the top, and your head is raised above the level of the upper rim of the cabin. Clients who suffer from claustrophobia report that they are comfortable during their session.

  • WHAT DO I WEAR DURING THE SESSION?

    Dry socks with slippers for the feet, light cotton gloves for the hands and men wear dry briefs. This is to protect your extremities from any potential damage from the extreme temperatures.

  • HOW MANY SESSIONS SHOULD I DO?

    Innovation Wellness recommends that you come every other day each month to experience the maximum recovery benefits. Studies show that Cryotherapy starts a 48-hour reset in your body so you are getting maximum benefit by doing a Cryotherapy session every other day instead of interrupting the reset by starting it over every day. If you feel that you would benefit from daily use you are welcome to that as well.

  • IS LIQUID NITROGEN DANGEROUS TO HUMANS?

    No. Nitrogen is a friendly, non-toxic gas found in our own atmosphere and is as common and safe as oxygen. Inhaling excess amounts can be dangerous. Every customer using our Cryotherapy service is monitored by our certified technician while using it.

  • HOW DO I FEEL AFTER A CRYOTHERAPY SESSION?

    Your external skin temperature warms up within five minutes of exiting the Cryosense. The immediate effects from each session typically last for six to eight hours. Cryotherapy stimulates the body to release endorphins, which are the hormones that make you feel good and energetic. Most clients report a better night’s sleep after just one session.

Photobiomodulation (PBMT) Therapy
  • HOW MANY PBMT TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?

    That depends on you. Every person’s condition is unique; therefore, their treatment course is as well. However, there are some general rules of thumb that apply to PBMT.

    Acute injuries and inflammation from muscle strains and sprains, cuts, bruises, burns, etc. typically show very rapid improvement and can resolve in 2-4 treatments.

    Long-term, chronic conditions can take as many as 12 sessions to get significant benefits then 1-2 sessions every 3-6 weeks may be necessary to maintain benefits.

  • HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED TO COME IN FOR BENEFITS?

    We recommend every other day in the first 2-3 weeks. At that point intervals typically reduce to 2 x per week ongoing depending on your conditions and wellness goals. Buying a monthly membership is the cheapest way to receive the best benefit from PBMT.

NORMATEC COMPRESSION THERAPY
  • WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?

    The compression therapy process feels like a massage or tight squeeze working its way up from the bottom to the top of the Normatec sleeve. It is very relaxing and enjoyable.

  • IS IT PAINFUL?

    It is not painful at all. If you feel the pressure is uncomfortable, the pressure level can be adjusted 1 to 7 to accommodate everyone’s needs.

  • HOW LONG DOES A SESSION TAKE?

    A typical session usually runs 30 to 60 minutes. We suggest using it for at least 30 minutes.

  • IS THERE A TEMPERATURE CHANGE?

    No, there is no temperature change. The Normatec device uses only compressed air to compress the sleeves.

  • WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY DOES THIS WORK?

    We have different attachments that work different areas of the body. We have devices that will work the arms, the hips and the legs.

  • WHAT WOULD PREVENT ME FROM USING NORMATEC?

    You cannot use Normatec if you have any open wounds, stitches or a rash on the area of the body that will be inside the compression sleeve. Also, it cannot be used on the area of a broken bone or fracture.
