body The word cryotherapy consists
of two parts: “cryo”, whic
which means “cold”, and “therapy”,
which means “treatment”
“treatment”. Using the right equipment
for cryotherapy turns the science of exposing the
entire human body to ultr ultra-low temperatures for the
recovery of the circul
circulatory, nervous and energy
systems into an effe effective healing technology.
According to scientific and medical research, the
optimal efficiency
efficienc of cry cryotherapy procedures for the
whole body is achievachieved by placing the body in
-120
temperatures up to -120-170°C (- 184-280F) for 1-3
minutes, which lowers the temperature of the skin
non-in
surface. Applied non-invasive, short and extremely
cold air pulses directed at a human body, provoke
physiological reactions that promote treatment and recovery, which is used in many fields,
including cosmetology, sports rehabilitation and medicine. Also, it is proven that controlled
low-temperature conditions have an analgesic effect at the neuron level, which leads to
positive mood, and therefore act as an antidepressant and treat sleep disorders. Cryotherapy
treatment has become a popular practice that is increasingly used around the world,
especially in sports rehabilitation where most professional athletes use cryotherapy as an
effective method to improve muscle tone and accelerate regeneration after trauma.
Attempts to use cryotherapy are aimed at getting rid of muscle pain, sprains and swelling
after soft tissue damage or surgery. Cryotherapy includes a number of procedures: from the
use of ice packs or immersion in ice baths (commonly called cold therapy) to the use of low-
temperature chambers called cryochambers. It is documented that whole-body
cryotherapy is used daily around the world to o
treat pain, inflammation, restore energy, improve e
health and reduce stress.
Cryotherapy brings to the public attention the
benefits of cold therapy at extremely low w
temperatures. Whole-body cryotherapy is a
therapy known for its fat-burning and analgesic
properties obtained through exposure to ultra-low w
temperatures. Ultra-low temperature stimulates es
skin receptors, activating the reaction of the e
central ner vous system, which releases
endorphins, produced by the human body y
(natural pain inhibitors and improve the mood).
Also, cryotherapy improves blood and lymph h
circulation, relieves inflammation by cleansing g
from toxins and metabolic products, supplying
the blood with oxygen and nutrients necessary to o
stimulate cellular repair throughout the body..

Many articles suggest that cryotherapy treatment
has been accepted by many famous athletes and
sports teams for muscle recovery and injury y
treatment.

 Key benefits of cryotherapy
Essentially, cryotherapy is the process of using the therapeutic benefits of low
temperatures. This form of therapy has been used variously since the 1700s to reduce pain
and muscle spasms, speed up recovery, slow cell aging, and improve health. For decades,
athletes have been soaking in barrels of cold water and ice baths, but thanks to a recent
innovation, whole body cryotherapy (WBC) is now available in special chambers powered
with liquid nitrogen and most often featured in modern references to cryotherapy. This type
of therapy using extreme cold was invented in the 1970s in Japan, and it appeared in the
United States, Europe, and other countries only in the last decade and gained wide
popularity among athletes and people suffering from some chronic diseases, as well as
among ordinary people and housewives who do not like ice baths.

Main uses of cryotherapy:

Although cryotherapy chambers belong to the group of equipment associated with
sports rehabilitation and wellness, they have a wide range of uses in the health care and
rehabilitation system.

1. Pain relief and muscle recovery

Cryotherapy can reduce muscle pain as well as joint and muscle disorders such as
arthritis. Moreover, it helps to heal sports injuries faster. For a long time, doctors have advised
applying ice packs to damaged and painful muscle areas, as when the pack is removed,
blood circulation improves, assisting in healing and pain relief.

2. Weight loss

Cryotherapy alone will not cause weight loss, but it could help. In theory, cooling the
body makes it work harder, activating its latent recovery potentials to keep warm. A few
minutes in the cold can improve metabolism for the whole day. People no longer feel cold as
their metabolism has adapted and accelerated in response to cold temperatures. Since
cryotherapy helps with muscle pain, it can facilitate the recovery of physical fitness after
injury. This potential weight loss is limited to people who are unable to exercise because of
pain.

 3. Soothing the inflammation

Inflammation is the way the immune system fights an infection. Sometimes the immune
system overreacts to stimuli, leading to chronic inflammation, which is associated with
problems such as cancer, diabetes, depression, dementia, and arthritis. Thus, the soothing
inflammation could, among other things, improve overall health and reduce the risk of many
chronic diseases.

4. Prevention of dementia
Since cryotherapy soothes inflammation, there is a possibility that it may reduce the risk
of dementia. A 2012 academic paper suggests cryotherapy may reduce inflammation and
oxidative stress associated with dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and other age-
related forms of cognitive decline.

5. Cancer prevention and treatment

Since whole-body cryotherapy soothes inflammation,
there is a possibility that it may also reduce the risk of
cancer. Medical cryotherapy is a recognized way to treat
certain forms of cancer. Doctors could use cryotherapy to
freeze cancer cells on the skin or on the cervix, and
sometimes to remove other cancers. There is a theory
that cryotherapy sessions can help prevent the
development of cancer by temporarily f reezing the
disease processes.

6. Reducing anxiety and depression

Scientific information about the ability of cryotherapy to soothe inflammation suggests

that it could treat mental disorders associated with inflammation. Some preliminary studies
in such fields as cryotherapy and mental health also support this assumption.

7. Reducing the symptoms of eczema

A chronic inflammatory skin disease known as eczema can cause severely itchy dry areas
on the skin. In 2008, there was a small study of people with eczema who stopped using
drugs and tried cryotherapy. Many of them showed a reduction in eczema symptoms,
although some complained of frostbite on small areas of the skin.

 8. Migraine treatment

Cryotherapy against a headache carried out on the neck, can prevent migraines. In a
2013 study, scientists applied cryotherapy to the necks of people suffering from migraines.
This treatment reduced their pain.

How does cryotherapy work?

Cryogenic medicine has been used for hundreds of years. The
most common form is the use of ice baths to reduce muscle
swelling and pain and to accelerate the healing of injuries. At ultra-
low temperatures, the skin thermoreceptors are stimulated by the
strong energy of vapor. As the skin cools to the required
temperature, the injury healing cycle is activated.
Cryostimulation causes constriction of blood vessels, followed
by rapid expansion, which has a natural analgesic effect on the
patient and generates microcirculation in the affected area.

NATURAL HEALING: Cryostimulation activates natural defenses

of a body. Short-term exposure to ultra-low temperatures does not
affect the temperature inside a body. The procedures are safe for the
environment.

ANESTHESIA: Cryostimulation has an analgesic effect on the body, so after the

procedure, the pain is significantly reduced. Reducing the level of pain promotes natural
movement. Increasing the strength and flexibility of joints and bones is the key to improving
the metabolic process, as inflammation is delayed in the joints.
TIME SAVING: Unlike other “cooling” procedures, like the use of ice packs, where the
patient has to remain motionless for a long time, cryotherapy procedures last up to 3
minutes. Cryostimulation shortens the healing period of the injury, so athletes can complete
rehabilitation earlier and with fewer medications.
PLEASURE: Bathing in cold air vapors is much more comfortable than cold water
methods since at ultra-low temperatures the vapors have almost zero moisture content. As a
bonus, the cold triggers the production of endorphins called happiness hormones, which
inspires follow-up visits.

5
 New energy: the client feels a surge of energy and improved well-being after receiving the
therapy sessions. That is why many well-known athletes recommend doing cryotherapy
sessions before exercise to improve endurance and to gain additional energy for the body.
- PRODUCTION OF ADDITIONAL COLLAGEN: Collagen is a special protein that can be
found in all tissues of our body. It is synthesized by fibroblasts, connective tissue cells and, like
all proteins, consists of amino acids. This protein provides firmness and elasticity of cartilage,
joints, bones and mucous membranes. Collagen is the basis of connective tissue and
represents one-third of all proteins in the body and three-quarters of the lean body weight.
Under the influence of some factors, it can be destroyed, with the possible occurrence of
various diseases associated with the brittleness of joints and bones. With increased stress, as
well as with age, the amount of collagen in the body decreases, which can lead to injuries and
diseases. Therefore, to athletes, the elderly and those who complain of problems with joints,
cartilage, and tendons it is recommended to conduct cryotherapy sessions as a supplement
every day to increase the production of collagen in
the body. We can get this protein with food, in
addition, our body can produce it on its own, but
most often this amount is not enough, and it is the
reason why cryotherapy is a good way to increase
the amount of collagen in the body.
- IMPROVEMENT OF BLOOD AND LYMPHATIC
CIRCULATION: skin receptors sense extreme
temperature and trigger the natural process of
increasing blood circulation and lymphatic
outflow to heat the body and keep the body
temperature normal. Extreme body functions,
failing to be started at normal temperature and
associated with vital functions, are activated,
which leads to hardening and training of the body
against negative influences.

What is CryoStar chamber and what distinguishes

them from others?
You could probably find a lot of offers
ers on the market
for cryotherapy chambers. But what is the difference
between CryoStar and others? In most cases, the
cryosaunas offered by our competitors, ors, developed on
an outdated platform, released over 25 years ago and is
still used by competitors with a small mall number of
updates. Therefore, customers could meet a lot of

 What is thermovision technology?
Thermovision camera (thermal+ lat. vīsio "vision") is a
device for monitoring the temperature distribution of
the examined surface. The temperature distribution is
shown on the display as a color picture, where different
temperatures correspond to different colors. The study of
thermal images is called thermography. All bodies whose
temperature exceeds the temperature of absolute zero
emit electromagnetic thermal rays under Planck's law.
The spectral power density of the radiation (Planck's
function) has a maximum, which wavelength on the
wavelength scale depends on temperature. As a rule, modern thermal cameras are based on
special matrix temperature sensors called bolometers. They represent a matrix of miniature
thin-film thermistors. Infra-red lights, collected and focused on the matrix with a thermal
camera lens, heats the elements of the matrix in accordance with the monitored object's
temperature distribution that is displayed on the liquid crystal display as a color image, where
the cool places are blue and the warm ones are yellow or red. Thermovisor technology built
into cryotherapy chamber is very innovative, as it allows you to see how the body reacts to the
temperature and blood circulation with increased regeneration in the areas of the body that
are subjected to cryotherapy. CryoStar Grand model has a built-in thermal camera and video
monitor which displays data obtained from the thermal imaging camera.

HOW MANY PROCEDURES ARE REQUIRED?

The number of procedures varies depending on the goals of the patient and the reaction of
their body to treatment. The use of cryostimulation for muscle recovery is a daily auxiliary
method that can be carried out in cycles of 10-20 sessions to achieve a full sustainable effect of
treatment. Injuries vary in severity, so the number of procedures is hard to calculate in
advance. The physiotherapist and the patient should assess when, in their opinion, the injury
will fully recover.
The number of sessions may vary depending
on the severity of injuries and diseases and will be
individual in each case. The patient may feel a full
recovery after 3-4 sessions, but it would be more
effective to carry out a cycle of 10-20 procedures to
obtain the full effect of treatment. This will help
prevent regularly recurrin g injuries an d
strengthen the impact zone. If the patient needs
to get in shape as soon as possible, sessions can be
held twice a day, but there should be 4-6 hours
break between them. The reason why
cryostimulation procedures are recommended
every day or every other day is the ability of
cryostimulation to cause increased blood
circulation lasting for several hours in the affected
area. When carrying out procedures with small
breaks between them, the patient experiences
sustained increased blood circulation and a
natural analgesic effect for a long time. This
speeds up the healing and rehabilitation process,
as well as making the treatment more effective
than procedures carried out with long breaks.

 COMBINING CRYOTHERAPY SESSIONS WITH OTHER
THERAPIES, FITNESS EXERCISES OR TREATMENT
When cryostimulation is used in combination with
physiotherapy or cryolipolysis, the patient should
perform aftercare exercises, as strengthening and
developing the flexibility of joints and bones is the key
point of recovery. Post-treatment exercises involve a
series of exercises or movements recommended by the
physiotherapist and aimed at strengthening the joints
and muscles of the affected area. Sometimes patients
can feel great after the first few sessions, and then, a few
days later, they suddenly feel pain again. This is a good
sign that cryostimulation works effectively as joints and
muscles were developed and moved more freely during
the recovery process. After 6-7 days, these symptoms will
completely go away. After cryolipolysis procedures, it is
essential that the patient performs the prescribed
exercises (the patient can take sportswear with him for
the treatment). To enhance the effect of the treatment the patient should train afterwards.
Cryostimulation in the CryoStar cryotherapy chamber promotes the release of a large
amount of anti-inflammatory protein into the affected area, and exercises improve blood
circulation, which helps to distribute them throughout the body. With a rapid heartbeat,
blood circulation increases not only in the affected area but throughout the body,. Therefore,
metabolic processes work more intensively, and microcirculation stimulated throughout the
body creates energy deficiency. Post-treatment training can consist of a 20-minute jog or a
series of exercises to increase the patient's heartbeat.

CRYOTHERAPY PROCEDURE IN CRYOSTAR CRYOSAUNA

CryoStar cryotherapy chamber can reach each temperatures
emperature creates ideal
up to -180'C equivalent -294'F. This temperature
ostimulation. Therefore, the
conditions for maximum cryostimulation.
operator can treat patients at this maximum temperature,
allowing the patient's skin to cool to the desired temperature
and obtain rapid results after receiving ving cryotherapy
procedures. The patient feels relaxed and warm immediately
after the procedure, as there is almost no moisture in the
nitrogen vapor, which means that there ere is almost no
penetration into the tissues. Also, when cryostimulation
starts, the blood temperature in the affected ected area rises and
improves blood flow,, causing a "rush" and a strong increase
in microcirculation throughout the body.
Cryotherapy is a completely painless nless procedure.
Nitrogen vapors create a dry cold without moisture and
oolness on the skin
instead of chills, the patient will feel a dry coolness
and it will be very comfortable to carry arry cryotherapy
procedures. Cryostimulation is shock therapy, so the patient
may experience a slight "dull pain" due to the peculiarities of
the blood vessels structure, which will pass immediately after the procedure. A minute after
the session, heat will be felt in the affected area, as well as redness caused by microcirculation
around the affected area. The procedure does not involve any tissue damage or period of
disability.8 Nitrogen is used to cool the skin, which is absolutely safe. This is the same nitrogen

10
 that we breathe in with the air (78% of the air). The goal is to
cryostimulate the region. It reduces the skin temperature to
about 10-11C (50-55F). Whole-body cryotherapy can reduce
unwanted pain and nervous irritation, sometimes it can lead
t unusual sensations on the skin, such as numbness or
to
tingling.

Cryotherapy can cause skin redness or irritation. The

main contraindications for treatment are:
- Intolerance to cold
- Open wounds or ulcers
- Gangrenous lesions
- Hypothyroidism
- Skin or other cancers
- Other doctor's orders

HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?

AKE?
Physical therapy sessions range from 1 to 3 minutes. The device
vice
has 3 automatic programs (120-160C) and 1 manual program (up
to-170C). Sensitivity to cold depends on age, muscle mass, and
physical fitness, so a trained cryotherapist can determine the time
of the treatment. All patients are different in terms of desired ed
results, physique and severity of the injury, so each course of
treatment is individual.

 WHAT IS THE NITROGEN FLOW RATE AT CRYOSTAR?
The flow rate of liquid nitrogen is 1-1. 5 l* per minute, or 3-5 l* for a three-minute session
(*may vary at elevated temperatures or humidity in the room, improper pressure in the
nitrogen tank and depending on the quality of nitrogen).

How to connect CryoStar to the tank with nitrogen?

The CryoStar is connected to the nitrogen tank with a special nitrogen hose. The capacity
of the nitrogen tank is from 160 to 5000 liters. The most popular and common volume is 230-
240 liter capacity (Dewar flask). The nitrogen hose and nitrogen storage tank must be
provided by the cryosauna manufacturer or rented from a local nitrogen supplier.

WHAT IS THE VOLUME AND PRESSURE OF THE NITROGEN TANK?

The working pressure inside the tank should be 28-35psi (equivalent to 1.8 Bar or 0.15 kPa to 3
Bar), the discharge valve 35 psi (equivalent to 2.2 Bar or 0.22 kPa). The CryoStar requires to
operate at a pressure between 28 and 35 psi and with the same value for the discharge valve
mounted on the tank. Any pressure
that is lower or higher than the
recommended pressure range
should cause the machine to
malfunction or excessive nitrogen
consumption. In our MedStarCom
company, you can also purchase
nitrogen storage tanks or get advice
on how to rent them from a local
nitrogen supplier.

EVAPORATION RATE IN DEWAR FLASK

Liquid nitrogen evaporates in a volume approximately equal
to 5-35 liters per week, depending on the serviceability of the
discharge valve. The following actions may increase evaporation:
- broken or faulty discharge valve. Please contact your
nitrogen supplier in case of increased nitrogen evaporation
- It is forbidden to shake the tank
- Elevated indoor temperature or overheating of the nitrogen
tank. Do not place the nitrogen tank near heating elements or air
conditioning.

-WHERE TO BUY LIQUID NITROGEN?

MedStarCom cooperates with many nitrogen suppliers around the world. Upon customer
request, our company can recommend several available local nitrogen suppliers who could
provide nitrogen delivery to your business.
