The time a person&nbsp;spends&nbsp;in it is 2-3 minutes.&nbsp;<strong>It is&nbsp;<\/strong>recommended to treat&nbsp;<strong>psoriasis&nbsp;<\/strong>using the cryotherapy technique for a course of 3 weeks to one month, carrying out 3-4 procedures every day.&nbsp;<strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to&nbsp;cryosauna&nbsp;procedures,&nbsp;exposure&nbsp;to low temperatures can affect certain parts of the patient&#8217;s body.&nbsp;For this, either special applicators are used (a tampon soaked in liquefied gas), or a strong stream of liquefied low-temperature gas directed to the lesions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the shock effect of low temperatures on the body, the skin begins to rapidly cool, which is a powerful impetus for the active action of the immune system, thermoregulation system and other protective mechanisms of the body.&nbsp;That is,&nbsp;aerocryotherapy&nbsp;mobilizes all the forces of the human body, makes them work at an increased pace, direct all reserves to fight the present disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cryotherapy has the maximum effect on human skin and is reliably fixed at the cellular level.&nbsp;After a series of cold treatment procedures in patients, infiltration is noticeably reduced and a persistent inhibition of response processes in the immunomodulatory system is observed.&nbsp;After cold treatment procedures,&nbsp;patients suffering from psoriasis noted a significant decrease in itching and pain, a decrease in the external symptoms of the disease, and an improvement in overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;Pros and cons&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cryotherapy, as one of the methods of combating&nbsp;<strong>psoriasis, has been&nbsp;<\/strong>used relatively recently.&nbsp;The visible effect after exposure to low temperatures on the body is obvious, however, the side effects that may occur after such treatment have not yet been fully understood.&nbsp;Contraindications to the procedures in the&nbsp;cryosauna are&nbsp;not defined&nbsp;either&nbsp;.&nbsp;<strong><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts only have to find out what complications may appear in patients with psoriasis after courses of cryotherapy in the presence of certain accompanying diseases.&nbsp;Among other things, the claimed effectiveness of the technique did not find its valid confirmation, since in a number of cases, patients experienced recurrent attacks of psoriasis soon after the course of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the innovative technology for treating psoriasis and other dermatological diseases with ultra-low temperatures is still quite expensive.&nbsp;And the duration of the course of therapy and the frequency of sessions do not always allow for procedures on an outpatient basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the development of low-temperature technologies, it became possible to use devices with low and ultra-low temperatures for the treatment of various diseases.&nbsp;Cryo devices&nbsp;or&nbsp;cryoapparatus&nbsp;are capable of producing liquefied&nbsp;gases&nbsp;: oxygen (-183 \u00b0 C), ordinary air (up to -180 \u00b0 C), helium (-269 \u00b0 C), nitrogen (-196 \u00b0 C), carbon dioxide (&#8220;dry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stop-fungus-meds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stop-fungus-meds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stop-fungus-meds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stop-fungus-meds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stop-fungus-meds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stop-fungus-meds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77,"href":"https:\/\/stop-fungus-meds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76\/revisions\/77"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stop-fungus-meds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stop-fungus-meds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stop-fungus-meds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
