The cold cryo wrap helps support the blood vessels in the legs and quickly relieves the feeling of tiredness. The procedure uses professional lotions with menthol and active venotonics. It lasts about 40 minutes and is a good choice for people who cannot have heat procedures.
How the procedure goes
- At the consultation, the specialist assesses the condition of your legs and how you feel.
- A cooling lotion with menthol and venotonics is applied to your legs.
- Your legs are gently wrapped in bandages soaked in the solution.
- You lie with your legs comfortably raised and rest while the wrap works.
- Afterwards the wrap is removed and the skin is freshened up.
What it feels like
At first you feel a pleasant coolness, then a gentle squeeze. Many people describe relief in their legs, as if they have become lighter. If the cold feels unusually unpleasant or you notice numbness, be sure to say so.
What to expect
- Less of the “heavy legs” feeling and less tiredness, sometimes after the very first session.
- Support for the elasticity and tone of the vessel walls.
- A refreshing effect after a stressful day or long hours on your feet.
People choose this procedure for prevention and comfort when their legs are under strain, but it is not a medical treatment for varicose vein disease.
Course
The number of procedures in a course is chosen individually. The specialist will suggest how often to come, based on your condition.
Tips
After the wrap, a calm walk, enough water and a rest with your legs raised are all helpful. Please tell us about thrombosis, skin conditions, an allergy to menthol or anything else we should know.
Who it suits especially well
This procedure is chosen by people who stand or sit a lot and whose legs feel heavy by the evening, and also by those for whom heat procedures are not suitable. It is a way to support the blood vessels and bring lightness back to the legs.
Before the procedure, we recommend having a consultation at the centre, as contraindications are checked during the consultation.
