CRYO Therapy Health & Beauty of NJ, Ramsey

After undergoing complete knee-replacement surgery, Laura Leonti developed severe arthofibrosis, an inflammatory condition that causes painful and restricted joint motion. To combat this complication, Laura tried more surgeries and years of physical therapy along with massage therapy and acupuncture with no luck. But when after just two cryotherapy sessions, her pain dramatically decreased. Overjoyed about the effectiveness of this little-known therapy, Laura wanted to spread the word. So, she joined forces with Joanne Vallese to open Cryotherapy Health and Beauty of NJ.

• The Therapy: In all its forms—which include whole-body and localized cryotherapy and cryofacials—cryotherapy exposes clients to subzero temperatures. This extreme cold not only causes the central nervous system to release endorphins, but increases circulation and stimulates cellular regeneration and collagen production.
• The Equipment: Cryotherapy Health and Beauty of NJ utilizes M-Cryo saunas, which, in addition to being a leading brand of cryosaunas, manufactures its equipment in the United States. During whole-body sessions, clients are exposed to liquid-nitrogen-chilled air vapor for 2 to 3 minutes. Likewise, the center's equipment applies a controlled beam of nitrogen vapor to one specific, isolated area during localized treatments and cryofacials.
• The Benefits: Cryotherapy boasts numerous athletic, wellness, and beauty benefits. As Laura's story demonstrates, treatments can alleviate pain and inflammation, boost energy, and improve joint function. In a similar vein, the therapy can also decrease muscle soreness and recovery time. It also offers aesthetic benefits, such as increasing the metabolism, improving skin conditions, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and cellulite.
