Is cryotherapy painful?

As a physician, I immediately took this question to mean medical cryotherapy in order to ablate small skin lesions.

I was fascinated, and somewhat surprised, when I found out that most people were giving answers that related to total-body cryotherapy.

In my professional opinion, after over 40 years of practising medicine at a high level, it is my belief that total-body cryotherapy is up there with many of the alternative remedies that have never been shown to have any proven clinical benefit. All sorts of claims are made for it, and pseudoscience is spouted as fact.

Wife got a bloody nose and we both got migraines after... that being said, did it before and after a marathon and would 100% do it again. Rejuvenates body. 3 minutes in their chamber was the best recovery possible.
