A typical cryotherapy session lasts between 2-3 minutes. During this time, the person is exposed to extremely cold temperatures, typically between minus 200 to minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit. The session is usually conducted in a chamber or designated area where liquid nitrogen is sprayed on the skin. The person typically stands in the chamber, wearing minimal clothing and remove any jewelry or piercings, while the liquid nitrogen is sprayed on their skin.
It's important to note that the duration of the session may vary depending on the type of cryotherapy being performed and the facility where the therapy is being administered. Also, the session duration and the number of sessions may vary depending on the individual's condition and the purpose of the therapy. Some conditions such as chronic pain, may require multiple sessions in a week to achieve the desired results.
It's also important to note that the duration of the session may also vary depending on the type of cryotherapy being performed. Whole-body cryotherapy, which involves standing in a cryotherapy chamber, typically lasts 2-3 minutes, while localized cryotherapy, which involves applying liquid nitrogen directly to specific areas of the body, may last up to 10 minutes.
It's important to follow the instructions and guidelines set by the professional administering the therapy. The professional will take into consideration the individual's medical history, condition, and goals of the therapy when determining the duration of the sessions and the number of sessions needed.
