Cryotherapy is not just one type of treatment. There are several formats, each designed for different goals. Some focus on the entire body, while others target a specific area or are designed for skin-related treatments.
If you're new, start with our What Is Cryotherapy? guide. You can also explore cryotherapy benefits to understand why people choose these treatments.
The experience, intensity, and purpose of each type can vary. Choosing the right format depends on your goals, comfort level, and the type of provider you are considering.
Whole-body cryotherapy typically involves standing in a chamber for a short session while exposed to very cold air. This format is often used for full-body exposure rather than targeting one area.
Localized cryotherapy focuses on a specific area. This allows for more targeted cooling and is often used when someone wants to concentrate on one part of the body.
Cryofacials are designed for the face and are commonly marketed toward skin appearance and refreshment. These treatments are different from full-body or targeted recovery sessions.
Some treatments are positioned around body contouring or skin-focused goals. These may use different technology and protocols compared to traditional cryotherapy sessions.
Some providers offer mobile cryotherapy, while others operate from a fixed location. To compare these options, visit our Mobile vs. In-Clinic guide.
The best option depends on what you’re looking for. Some people prefer full-body exposure, while others want a more targeted or convenience-based experience.
