There is a difference between cool and cold
Cold: Ice and Cold packs
- The traditional first aid treatment is to use ice or cold pack for the first 15 minutes and repeat the treatment every 30-60 minutes.
- Cold releases endogenous endorphins that produce good feeling
Tissue damage/frost bite caused by cold: ice crystals in the tissue damage the cell structures, nerves and small vains - The blood circulation has slowed down for a much longer period than the cooling effect lasts
Cool: Ice Power Cold Gel and Creme
- The optimal cooling effect is achieved without the risk of frost bites or tissue damage
- Decreases the skin temperature by 5-7 degrees Celsius –> controlled cooling
- First slows down, then after 15 minutes increases blood circulation
Optimal cooling effect is achieved with Ice Power Cold Gel
