With the wind chill, you can experience from -140 to -210 for three minutes. You do it in swimwear and goggles.
There are metabolic benefits to doing this, but now, also neuropathy benefits during chemo, as well.
The cost can be as low as $250 for a month of daily visits.
What nerves get damaged in the body from chemo? Is it generalized nerve damage or concentrated in one area?
That cold temperature must be brutal, even for only a couple of minutes. Brrrr...I hate being cold!
There is also a treatment for chemo folks where they wear a cap that chills the head, which Apparently reduces hair loss too
Don’t know about that but I had some really ugly dimpled skin from getting hit with shrapnel from an IED. Had it for years, pretty disturbing to look at.
The doc put this thing that looked like a vaccuum cleaner hose and a big oval cup on the area (and the other side so I would be balanced). It froze the fat under my skin, then they did a massage (very painful). It was literally frozen.
Two treatments (90 days apart) of this killed the fat cells, and while the skin was still mildly discolored, it was smooth and no longer looked like I had little chunks blasted out of me with a giant shotgun.
Apparently it selectively kills fat cells and they don’t come back. The result was the skin was “evenly” distributed and no longer selectively dead.
They now use this for liposuction for vain people.
