What is inflammaging?
Inflammaging, or chronic inflammation that increases as we get older, accelerates the aging process and triggers a variety of health conditions, including:
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Arthritis
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
What is chronic inflammation?
When a sudden illness or injury occurs, your body develops acute inflammation, an immune system reaction that helps to heal a specific threat. If the response continues, even once the threat ends, that creates chronic (ongoing) inflammation. While acute inflammation helps protect your body, chronic inflammation damages your tissues and creates negative effects over time.
Lume Treatments for Inflammaging
Though it’s impossible to halt biological aging, you can reduce inflammation with a healthy diet, exercise, and expert-recommended treatments at Lume:
Cryotherapy
Our advanced treatments, like Cryotherapy, freeze inflammaging in its tracks.
Cryotherapy utilizes -145 temperatures to activate the central nervous system and constrict blood vessels to reduce swelling and inflammation. Once you exit the state-of-the art electric Cryotherapy Chamber, your blood immediately recirculates. This process releases anti-inflammatory proteins and clears toxins, lactic acid, and cellular waste from the body.
We recommend guests undergo approximately 10 Cryotherapy sessions to slow down the inflammaging process. Your treatment plan may vary depending on your unique health concerns.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
When inflammaging leaves you susceptible to chronic illness, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy serves as a breath of fresh air.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves time in a chamber filled with 100% oxygen up to 2.2 times the normal air pressure. The brain, organs, and body tissues absorb this oxygen, which reduces inflammation and allows the body to heal faster.
Many guests see noticeable results in as little as 5 treatments. For more serious cases of inflammaging, your provider may recommend scheduling HBOT appointments 5 days in a row.
