Post-treatment, blood vessels will dilate to heat the cooled area back up and return to
homeostasis.
During vasodilation:
● Smooth muscle tissue relaxes
● Blood vessels dilate by 117%
● Oxygen-rich blood is sent to the area with other important nutrients such as:
● Glucose: The primary energy source for cells.
● Amino acids: Building blocks of proteins.
● Fatty acids: Used for energy and cell membrane structure.
● Vitamins: Water-soluble vitamins (B complex, C) and Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D,
E, K) bound to carrier proteins
● Minerals: Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium) and Trace
elements (iron, zinc, copper)
● Proteins: Albumin (carries various substances) and Globulins (including
antibodies)
● Hormones: Various endocrine signaling molecules
● Collagen synthesis increases supporting the skin’s natural repair processes.
All of which leads to healthy tissue production. And yes you can treat open wounds with cryotherapy!!!!!
