Risks and side effects

The most common side effects of any type of cryotherapy are numbness, tingling, redness, and irritation of the skin.
These side effects are almost always temporary. Make an appointment with your doctor if they don’t resolve within 24 hours.

You should never use cryotherapy for longer than is recommended for the method of therapy you’re using.

Those with diabetes or any conditions that affect their nerves should not use cryotherapy.
They may be unable to fully feel its effect, which could lead to further nerve damage.
