Frequently Asked Questions

HPMC is a targeted cooling treatment that uses high-pressure CO₂ to penetrate deep into the muscle and tissue and rapidly lower temperature. This triggers vasoconstriction, which reduces inflammation and nerve irritation. When the tissue rewarms, oxygen-rich blood rushes back into the area, promoting cellular repair and faster healing — all without medication or surgery.

Traditional cryotherapy and ice primarily cool the skin's surface. HPMC delivers precise, deep-tissue cooling within seconds, reaching muscle and connective tissue where pain and inflammation originate. This controlled pressure-driven process creates a stronger vascular and neurological response for faster recovery.

HPMC is used for a wide range of musculoskeletal and nerve-related conditions, including sciatica, herniated discs, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, muscle strains, sprains and joint pain. It's also effective for post-surgical inflammation, athletic recovery, and chronic pain syndromes where circulation and nerve sensitivity play a role.

No. Most clients describe it as a quick, cold rush that fades within seconds. The treatment is comfortable and leaves behind a refreshed, light sensation as circulation and oxygenation improve. We have treated children to seniors in their 90's with no issues.

Each treatment lasts about 6–10 minutes, and your total visit is roughly 20–30 minutes. There's no downtime — you can return to normal activity immediately after.

For most people we plan an initial series of three to five sessions, usually every other day or every two days, and then review how you're doing. If there's no meaningful improvement after four or five sessions, we'll suggest you see a qualified healthcare provider.

Clients with severe circulatory disease, uncontrolled hypertension, open wounds, or certain neuropathies should speak with their own doctor before booking. We ask every client to complete a health questionnaire before their first visit.

No. Florida Cryogen currently operates on a self-pay basis and does not accept insurance or Medicare.

Most clients start feeling relief, reduced swelling, and greater range of motion. As the body rewarms, blood vessels dilate, bringing in fresh, oxygenated blood and flushing out metabolic waste. This vascular response helps restore natural function without drugs or downtime.
