In the case of tissue that has been damaged or subject to trauma, oedema and bleeding impair the supply of oxygen and nutrients. This leads to a circulatory disorder and overheating due to inflammation. The effects of HILOTHERAPY® counteract these symptoms. To achieve this, an exactly suited temperature is applied to the area of damaged tissue in order to restore metabolism, help remove dead cells and proteins, and to accelerate the healing process. The tissue temperature is raised or lowered to a specific value depending on the type of injury. As such, the thermo-healing approach can be applied not only to larger tissue injuries, but also to smaller ones.
