Localized Cryotherapy San Diego
The Cryo Facial & Local Cryotherapy is the application of a safe and refreshing stream of liquid nitrogen vapor applied to the face or to specific body parts to alleviate aches & pains, tighten skin, enhance a youthful appearance, reduce inflammation, increase circulation and potentially reduce injury recovery time.
Crisp liquid nitrogen vapors, with a temperature of -260 ℉, are applied to the body to provide an analgesic effect (pain relief) to the top layer of skin while penetrating deeper to initially reduce swelling and inflammation. Local cryotherapy provides relief from your body’s natural response to an injury, which is to send more white blood cells, oxygen and nutrients to the injury site through increased blood flow. While this process is necessary to healing, it can also be painful due to increased nerve sensitivity caused by swelling and excess fluid. After the local cryotherapy session ends, the skin and tissue temperature return to normal which stimulates an increase in circulation. This delivers freshly oxygenated nutrient rich blood to aid in the healing process.
Livkraft only uses safe and proven methods to apply localized cryotherapy to relieve your specific body ailments. See why we’re considered the best localized cryotherapy in San Diego and La Jolla.

PROCESS
@LIVKRAFT
Please arrive 10 – 15 minutes before your first appointment in order to fill out the required paperwork. When you have completed the intake form and waivers, a LIVKRAFT team member will check you in and walk you back to one of our Float Suites once the room is available and prepared for your treatment. Once you enter the suite feel free to lock the door for privacy (we have constant communication through our integrated intercom system when you are in the FloatPod and the ability to enter the room in case of an emergency). In the room you will find a shower, 2 towels, earplugs and Vaseline. Goggles are available upon request.
Please follow these steps once you have undressed:
- Quickly rinse off with a warm shower. Be sure to dry your feet and use caution walking around the room after your shower.
- Cover any open wounds or cuts with Vaseline as the high concentration of salt can be very uncomfortable.
- Place earplugs in both ears. If you request goggles, put the goggles on prior to entering the FloatPod.
- Enter the FloatPod using caution.
- Take a few minutes to find the most comfortable position for your body. We have floating neck pillows in case of any neck discomfort. Some people experience neck discomfort during their float session if they are unable to fully relax and fail to trust that their head will remain above the water when fully committing to the Float and letting go of all muscular tension.
- We offer the option of experiencing guided meditation for the first 10 minutes of your treatment. If you would like this option as part of your treatment, please let a LIVKRAFT team member know prior to your treatment.
- Through our Intercom system we will let you know when you have 5 minutes remaining in your float and will alert you when the session has completed.
- Be sure NOT TO TOUCH YOUR EYES at any time during the treatment or before you shower after the treatment. THE SALT WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT IRRITATION. If salt does get in your eye at any time exit the FloatPod and use the shower to rinse your eyes immediately.
- Once your float session is completed, enjoy a shower, dry off, get dressed and check out at the front desk with a LIVKRAFT team member.
- Enjoy the rest of your day!

What is the difference between Whole Body Cryotherapy and Localized Cryotherapy?
Whole Body Cryotherapy at Livkraft is meant to illicit a systemic whole body response to increase circulation and reduce inflammation through exposure to an extremely cold environment utilizing CryoScience Cryo Arctic breathable air technology. This technology utilizes liquid nitrogen to cool breathable air inside the Arctic vs. other La Jolla cryotherapy centers that expose users directly to a high quantity of nitrogen vapors. This is why other San Diego cryotherapy centers require your head be outside of the chamber during a session. In terms of treatment time, Livkraft whole body cryotherapy is always three (3) minutes long. Local Cryotherapy at Livkraft is meant to provide targeted relief on a deeper level to specific areas through the use of a concentrated stream of liquid nitrogen. The CryoScience Cryo Penguin is equipped with state of the art technology to ensure the highest safety standards in the industry. During the session the Penguin constantly measures your skin temperature, alerting your technician of the optimal time to spend on each area. Session times vary from 5-10 minutes depending what body part is receiving local cryotherapy. The general rule is the larger the area, such as the lower back, the longer the treatment. The smaller the area such as a foot or ankle, the shorter the treatment.

What is Localized Cryotherapy
Local Cryotherapy is the application of a safe and refreshing stream of liquid nitrogen vapor applied to specific body parts to alleviate aches & pains, reduce inflammation, increase circulation and potentially reduce injury recovery time. Crisp liquid nitrogen vapors, with a temperature of -260 ℉, are applied to the body to provide an analgesic effect (pain relief) to the top layer of skin while penetrating deeper to initially reduce swelling and inflammation. This provides relief from your body’s natural response to an injury, which is to send more white blood cells, oxygen and nutrients to the injury site through increased blood flow. While this process is necessary to healing, it can also be painful due to increased nerve sensitivity caused by swelling and excess fluid. After the session ends, the skin and tissue temperature return to normal which stimulates an increase in circulation. This delivers freshly oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood to aid in the healing process.
+
How many treatments do I have to do to notice results?
You feel results after one session but like with most things in life, consistency is key.
+
Is cryotherapy safe?
Cryotherapy is supported by years of research dating back to the 1970s. The treatment is made up of breathable air cooled to between 166 - 240° F.
+
Should I exercise before or after cryotherapy?
It’s beneficial to combine cryotherapy with your exercise routine as long as you’ve dried off. However, for the best results for strength training, we recommend not doing it 1-2 hours after your workout.
- Before - You’ll feel a rush of energy and increased blood flow.
- After - Cryotherapy helps replenish healing blood to aid in muscle repair.
+
How often do you recommend doing whole body cryotherapy treatments?
It’s safe to get cryotherapy treatments as often as you’d like, whether that be daily, a few times a week or as needed.
+
How does cryotherapy work?
Whole body Cryotherapy is the process of exposing the body to extreme cold to elicit an anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain relief) response. Cryotherapy, which includes application of ice packs and cold water immersion (cold tubs), has been used throughout human history to achieve these results. In the past 30 years, whole body cryotherapy has emerged as a more efficient method to achieve reduced inflammation, pain relief and faster recovery.
Most major professional sports teams & many professional athletes have turned to whole body cryotherapy for their recovery needs, incorporating the treatment into their daily routines to keep their bodies performing at elite levels. Models and actors also frequently utilize the treatment to facilitate recovery during their rigorous exercise regimes.
+
Does whole body cryotherapy or localized cryotherapy hurt?
Whole body cryotherapy doesn’t hurt at all. Some people experience mild discomfort including:
- Some nipple sensitivity, but we offer covers to alleviate this.
- Legs might feel very cold because your blood is rushing from your legs back to your core. This can last for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Legs might get a little red. This also lasts 5 to 10 minutes.
Local cryotherapy doesn’t hurt at all either! Most people describe it as extremely refreshing. The technology alerts the practitioner to move the stream of vapor depending on skin temperature to ensure a comfortable and optimal experience.
