A Brief, Transformative Reset for Your Body

Sometimes, the most effective wellness treatments take barely any time at all. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer cryotherapy to patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena who want a fast, invigorating way to reduce inflammation, support recovery, and boost their energy.

What Is Cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy exposes your body to short, controlled cold temperatures within a specialized chamber, triggering a natural anti-inflammatory response and a surge in circulation as your body works to rewarm itself. This rapid cold exposure differs significantly from that of an ice pack or a cold shower in both intensity and effect, affecting the whole body rather than a small area. While every patient is different, most seek out cryotherapy for the following benefits:

  • Reduced inflammation throughout the body
  • Increased energy 
  • Improved mental clarity
  • Support for muscle recovery
  • A quick addition to an ongoing wellness routine

The LRMD Difference

When you choose LRMD for your cryotherapy in Beverly Hills and Pasadena, you choose an experience rooted in customized care and precise, clinically-focused practices. Cryotherapy is most effective when the temperature and exposure time are calibrated to your individual health status, rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all protocol. Our team works under the clinical direction of Brendan Courneene, ND, to monitor every cryotherapy session closely and ensure both safety and effectiveness.

Here, we take your health goals, medical history, and cold tolerance into account when building your treatment plan. Because our surgical and non-surgical services are under the same roof, your cryotherapy will be fully integrated into your broader wellness or recovery plan, with input from your care team at every step.

What to Expect From Your Cryotherapy Sessions in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Triggering Recovery Through Temperature

Cryotherapy's rapid, controlled cold exposure prompts your body to temporarily constrict blood vessels, then dilate them rapidly once your session ends. This process flushes treated tissue with oxygen and nutrient-rich blood, supporting recovery and reducing inflammation throughout your body.

Supporting Your Exact Health Needs

Here, we incorporate cryotherapy into a range of wellness and recovery plans, tailoring every treatment to the patient’s unique medical needs. Most often, patients choose this treatment to target the following:

  • General inflammation management
  • Muscle recovery after exercise or activity
  • Low energy and mental fatigue
  • Ongoing wellness maintenance alongside other longevity services

During your initial consultation, your nurse will review your health history to confirm cryotherapy is appropriate for you.

Your Day-Of Experience

Before beginning treatment, you’ll change into protective clothing in your private treatment room. Then, your nurse will guide you into the cryotherapy chamber, where temperatures drop rapidly for a brief, controlled duration. They’ll remain present throughout to monitor your comfort and safety, and sessions typically last two to three minutes.

Building Your Treatment Plan

Many patients begin with two to three sessions weekly to establish an initial benefit, then transition to once- or twice-weekly maintenance sessions as part of an ongoing wellness routine. After your first session, your nurse will evaluate your body’s response and determine your unique treatment schedule.

No-Downtime Recovery That Suits Your Lifestyle

Cryotherapy involves no needles, incisions, or physical strain, so recovery begins immediately after your session ends. You’ll notice a rush of energy and mental clarity right away, often accompanied by warmth returning to your skin within a few minutes. Some patients notice a slight redness as blood rushes to the surface of their skin, but this should fade quickly.

Most patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena return to normal activities immediately, with many scheduling sessions specifically before a demanding day to take advantage of the energy boost. If you’re receiving cryotherapy as part of exercise or post-surgical recovery, you must follow your physician’s recommendations regarding activity limitations during healing. 

Your Post-Treatment Process

After your cryotherapy session, our team will share targeted guidance to help you maintain your results between visits. This plan may include the following:

  • Hydration and nutrition tips to support your body's response
  • Side effects and adverse reactions to monitor
  • Skincare products to use after your session

Most patients do not require a follow-up appointment after their cryotherapy sessions. Throughout your treatment, you’ll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena office for continued sessions with our team, who will track your progress and adjust your schedule and treatment temperature as needed.
