When treating the most severely damaged areas, localised or spot cryotherapy is more beneficial than whole-body cryotherapy. It is applied to relieve swelling and treat wounds while reducing discomfort. Any specific body area that has been injured can benefit from this kind of cryotherapy, including the neck, shoulders, elbows, feet, ankles, and feet. It would seem that athletes and other active people who are prone to injury would benefit most from local cryotherapy. Localized cryotherapy, however, also has uses in the health and beauty industries.

It is used in medicine to limit inflammation, alleviate pain and spasms, relax muscles, enhance blood circulation, modulate the immune system, and treat many chronic illnesses. Patients recovering from an injury or surgery as well as those with persistent pain brought on by inflammatory diseases like arthritis have found good outcomes with localised cryotherapy.
Acne, psoriasis, and eczema patients are recommended localised cryo treatments because they aid to lessen skin redness, irritation, and itching. Additionally, it lessens scarring.
