With a registered nurse on staff and employees who participate in regular training, the cryotherapy practitioners at Collin County Cryo are basically experts on the method. Cryotherapy is simply an approach to recovery and anti-aging that uses extreme cold, inspired by decades-old medical therapies from Japan. Japanese healers have been soothing rheumatoid arthritis with ice baths since the '70s, and cryotherapy is essentially just a more contemporary treatment of that sort.

Collin County Cryo offers full-body cryotherapy in a special unit, which delivers frigid temperatures to your body for brief periods of time, calming inflammation and easing pain. Cryotherapy is popular among athletes who want to treat their body to some relaxation after a grueling workout, but it can also be effective in easing pain associated with inflammatory diseases. The CryoFacial uses cold to smooth out lines and return elasticity to the skin, so Collin County Cryo can serve as a spa for you too.
