Onsen and sento have long been hailed in Japan for their health benefits, but Cryo Tokyo is blowing these rejuvenating treatments out of their own water with its cryotherapy and CRYO SKIN®︎ treatments.

As the name suggests, cryotherapy literally means “cool therapy.” This cutting edge, speedy therapeutic treatment has become increasingly popular among the world’s top-tier athletes and Hollywood celebrities. It’s a process that exposes your body to extremely cold temperatures generated from liquid nitrogen, ranging from -120°C to -196°C.

CRYO SKIN®︎ treatments have been shown to naturally destroy fat cells and tone and rejuvenate the skin. Non-invasive, painless and more reliable than Botox,  it can be used to reverse aging, improve the appearance of the skin or serve as a weight loss treatment.

Cryo Tokyo is bringing these U.S.-born technologies to Japan at its clinic in Minato-ku’s Azabu-juban. 

How does cryotherapy work?

The science behind cryotherapy is all about Nitric Oxide (NO). NO is the chemical that prevents your veins from hardening. Usually, you’d need to jog for at least 30 minutes everyday to have enough of this essential chemical compound flow in your body. With cryotherapy, the procedure is simple and fast. Simply stand in a cryogenic chamber for two or three minutes and you are done with your body recovery session.

Cryotherapy can help you…

1. Recover from your gym sessions

Some of the major fans of cryotherapy are athletes. It first became popular among Western athletes but now even Japanese baseball and soccer teams have adopted cryotherapy as one of their essential recovery processes. Why do athletes prefer this therapy? The main reason is that the process is so speedy. Instead of spending 20 minutes in an ice bath, cryotherapy only takes a maximum of three minutes to help you recover from a whole day of training. 

2. Combat fatigue and release your stress 

We all know Tokyo life can be pretty stressful and tiring. Located in Azabu-juban, a central business district in Tokyo, Cryo Tokyo is the perfect place to release all of that post-work fatigue and stress right after you step out of your office building. Count to 120 in the cryotherapy chamber and your endorphins and adrenaline are all ready to boost your energy and your level of happiness.

3. Wake up your skin

Tokyo weather is not the best for your skin. If you ever wonder why your skincare routine isn’t really working to give you that flawless glow, give cryotherapy a try! The process improves your blood circulation and rejuvenates your skin as it also helps your body produce more collagen, an essential ingredient for slowing down skin aging. Facial-only treatments are available at Cryo Tokyo rather than full-body. 

4. Help with weight loss

Are you on a diet or trying to lower your fat percentage? If so, cryotherapy is definitely something you should try as the coolness speeds up your metabolism. When you step into the -120°C chamber, your body will naturally try to keep you warm and this will result in a faster metabolism.

How does CRYO SKIN®︎ work?

CRYO SKIN®︎ is a new treatment that uses sub-zero temperatures to naturally break down fat and cellulite and increase microcirculation and collagen levels, meaning healthier, more vibrant-looking skin. Cryo Tokyo offers two different CRYO SKIN®︎ treatments, CRYO SKIN®︎ Slimming and CRYOSKIN ® Toning.

CRYO SKIN®︎ Slimming is a new and popular treatment for removing fat cells, reducing cellulite and slimming your body in areas which are tough to slim through exercise alone. The alternation between hold and cold temperatures painlessly breaks down fat cells which are then naturally processed by the body’s lymphatic system. 

CRYO SKIN ® Toning is a natural anti-aging treatment that reduces fine lines and lifts the face and neck. Since CYRO SKIN’s ®︎ introduction to the United States, it has rapidly grown in popularity across cryosalons and cosmetic surgeries. The application of cold temperatures naturally increases blood flow and collagen production and tightens the pores. This results in tighter, rejuvenated skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and redness.

Time and health. These are two of the most valued things for people living in any high pressure, fast paced metropolitan area. Give cryotherapy a try at Cryo Tokyo and you might finally find your new place of peace and rejuvenation in the center of Tokyo.
