Local Cryotherapy — Extended (up to 6 min)

Extended local cryo session up to 6 minutes — double the standard exposure on a target area. Used for larger zones, deeper tissue targets, or chronic pain sites that don't respond fully to a 3-minute application.

Local cryotherapy uses a directed nitrogen-vapour applicator to deliver pinpoint extreme cold to a specific body area — typically a joint, tendon, or localised inflammation site — without subjecting the whole body to the chamber. Compared to whole-body cryo, the local protocol allows much higher tissue exposure to a single area and is the better tool when the target is one isolated injury or chronic painful site (e.g. tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, knee tendinopathy, post-acute ankle sprain). A standard local session runs up to 3 minutes per area at the standard rate; an extended session runs up to 6 minutes. Studio Náskok also operates a separate cryocosmetics service — local cryo applied to facial / aesthetic indications (skin tightening, lymphatic drainage, post-procedure cooling) at a 10-minute session length and a higher per-session price reflecting the cosmetic positioning. The studio additionally rents portable cryo equipment for short-term home use (weekend or 1-week rental) and sells liquid nitrogen refills and bulk litres for clinics or trainers operating their own gear. Contraindications mirror whole-body cryo: Raynaud's syndrome, peripheral vascular disease, cryoglobulinemia, open wounds in the target area, and skin sensitivity issues. Discuss with reception before first session.
