REPORT DESCRIPTION
Cryotherapy Market – Overview
Cryotherapy, also called cryoablation, is a non-invasive therapy used for alleviating pain, treating abnormal
skin, and treating localized tumors. Cryotherapy can be administered locally or on whole body. The
surgeon uses cryo probes through which liquid nitrogen or high pressure argon gas flows freezing and
destroying the tumor cell. A MRI, ultrasound or CT scan is used to guide the cryo probe to reach the
treatment site in the body.
Cryotherapy can also be applied topically for treating skin and eye lesions. In topical cryotherapy, liquid
nitrogen is applied using cotton swab or a spraying device. A whole body cryotherapy (WBC) is used to
help improve the athlete performance, recover early from injuries and muscular pain. Lack of evidences
proving higher safety and effectiveness of WBC, however, is limiting the wide scale adoption of this
therapy and thus, limiting growth of cryotherapy market.
