Description of Localized Cryotherapy

Localized cryotherapy involves the controlled application of very cold temperature to a selected area of the body for a limited period of time.

The purpose of the service is to provide localized cold exposure. Individual responses to cryotherapy vary, and no particular result is guaranteed.

I understand that I may ask the technician to stop the treatment at any time if I experience pain, excessive discomfort, numbness, burning, unusual skin sensation, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptom.

Acknowledgment of Risks

I understand that localized cryotherapy involves exposure of the skin and underlying tissues to very cold temperatures.

Possible reactions may include temporary redness, numbness, tingling, discomfort, skin irritation, changes in skin sensation, or other reactions associated with cold exposure. Although reasonable precautions are taken, I understand that adverse reactions may occur.

I agree to immediately notify Akron Cryo staff if I experience unusual discomfort or any symptom that concerns me during treatment.

Customer Health Representation

I certify that the information I have provided on this form is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that Akron Cryo relies upon the health information I provide when determining whether a service may be appropriate for me.

I agree to inform Akron Cryo of any material change in my medical condition, medications, pregnancy status, implanted medical devices, cardiovascular condition, circulation problems, skin condition, or other relevant health information before receiving future treatments.

I understand that Akron Cryo personnel are not providing a medical diagnosis and that cryotherapy services are not a substitute for evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment by a licensed medical provider.

Voluntary Participation and Assumption of Risk

I voluntarily choose to receive services from Akron Cryo, LLC. I understand that participation may involve risks, including risks that may not presently be known or reasonably foreseeable.

Nothing in this agreement is intended to waive any right or remedy that cannot legally be waived under applicable law.

If any portion of this agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

No Guarantee of Results

I understand that individual responses to cryotherapy vary. Akron Cryo, LLC does not guarantee any particular therapeutic, cosmetic, recovery, pain-relief, weight-loss, body-contouring, or other outcome from localized cryotherapy.

Cryotherapy services are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease unless specifically provided under the direction of an appropriately licensed healthcare professional.

Treatment Area Acknowledgment

Before treatment begins, I will identify the area or areas I wish to have treated. I understand that I may decline treatment of any area and may request that treatment be stopped at any time. I will immediately tell the technician if the treatment becomes uncomfortable or if I experience an unexpected reaction.

Confirmation of Health Screening

I confirm that I have reviewed and answered the health screening questions contained in this form. I understand that withholding relevant health information may increase the risk associated with receiving cryotherapy.
