　　The Deep Freeze
　　We Tried Cryotherapy at Polaris

　　People do some pretty crazy things in the name of beauty. From Kim Kardashian’s infamous blood facial, to the snail slime and snake venom skincare that took Korea by storm, to freezing your entire body in a nitrogen-filled pod – aka cryotherapy.
　　人们经常以＂爱美之名＂做一些超级疯狂的事，从金·卡戴珊备受吐槽的  吸血驻颜  ，到席卷韩国的  蜗牛黏液  和蛇毒护肤品，再到用充满氮气的舱体＂冻住＂整个身体——这被称为  超低温冷疗  。
　　Totally non-invasive, Cryotherapy uses freezing cold temperatures to shock the body into releasing specific hormones and natural responses that result in a plethora of health benefits. It＂s also widely used by athletes in place of ice baths for faster recovery from intense workouts.
　　超低温冷疗是完全非侵入性的，它利用极低温冲击，使人体释放特定的激素，产生自然的应激反应，从而使体验者收获许多健康益处。
　　它代替了冰浴，并被广泛应用于专业运动员的日常中，以此让运动员更快从高强度的训练中  及时恢复  。
　　＂When faced with such extreme temperatures, your body’s natural fight or flight response is activated,＂ Oussedik explains. So, as a result, blood circulation is stimulated, and the endocrine system - the collection of glands that secrete hormones to regulate metabolism, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood – is activated.
　　Oussedik解释说：＂当你面对如此极端的温度时，你身体的自然对抗或  应激反应  就会被激活。
　　此时，  血液循环  受到刺激，负责分泌激素、调节代谢、组织功能、性功能、生殖、睡眠和情绪的系统——内分泌系统被激活。
　　＂All of your blood then centralizes around your key internal organs in order to protect those important organs from the extreme cold. The blood becomes super-oxygenated, and this enriched blood will run through your body to your muscles, your joints, everywhere,＂
　　says Oussedik. ＂This process flushes out toxins in your body, leaving you to feel better and feel more energized. Your brain will start releasing hormones of happiness – endorphins and serotonin – and adrenaline is rushed to boost brain power and psychological efficiency, as well as reduce inflammation in the body.＂
　　＂随后，身体血液集中在你的关键内脏周围，以保护那些重要的器官免受极端寒冷的影响。  富氧血流  快速贯穿整个身体，包括肌肉和关节。＂
　　Oussedik说： ＂这个过程还会排出体内的毒素，让你感觉更好，更有活力。你的大脑将开始释放快乐的荷尔蒙——  内啡肽  和  血清素  ，而肾上腺素水平则会迅速提升，从而增强大脑的活力和心理健康水平，并减少体内的炎症。＂
　　When I got to Polaris, I was given a big fluffy robe, warm socks and gloves. I was then led to the treatment room and into the cryosauna chamber, which was filled with dry nitrogen gas in a slow, controlled pattern for three minutes.
　　来到冷疗机构后，我拿到了一件蓬松的长袍、温暖的袜子和手套。
　　然后我被带到治疗室，进入  超低温冷疗舱  ，一个慢慢被充满干燥氮气的空间里， 控制时长为三分钟 。
　　The treatment is overseen by a trained technician who, aside from controlling the equipment, helps to distract you from the fact that you’re standing stark naked and exposed to freezing temperatures between -90 to -140 degrees Celsius. You’re probably wincing at that thought right now but, honestly, it wasn’t at all as bad as it sounds.
　　体验过程是由一名训练有素的专业人员进行监督的，他除了控制设备外，还有助于分散你当下的注意力，让你忽略一个事实：  你正赤身裸体地站在零下90℃至零下140℃的低温环境里。
　　你听到这个描述时可能会想要  退缩  ，但老实说，它并没有听起来那么可怕。
　　After the full body treatment, it was time for my ‘Cryo Facial’ – a 15-minute treatment in which beams of cold air are applied to specific sections of the face, scalp and neck. Cryotherapy’s cell rejuvenating and collagen-boosting functions have made it a popular beauty treatment to tighten and improve skin tone, as well as reduce signs of ageing.
　　全身冷疗之后，我开始进行面部超低温冷疗，这是一种时长为15分钟的冷疗项目：将  冷气＂光束＂  应用于面部、头皮和颈部等特定部位。
　　它所带来的的促进  细胞再生  和  胶原蛋白增长  功能，使它成为一种流行的美容治疗，人们通过进行这个项目，达到紧致肌肤，改善肤色以及 延缓衰老 的目的。
　　＂During the session your body produces 4-5 times more collagen than usual. Collagen is a popular topic these days, but it’s important to know that our skin cannot actually absorb collagen,＂ Oussedik tells me. ＂The only way to increase collagen is for your body to produce it. Any advertisements for collagen creams and the like are pulling your leg.＂
　　＂在这个过程中，你的身体产生的胶原蛋白比平时多4-5倍。胶原蛋白是现在的流行话题，但事实上，胶原蛋白并不能通过外部吸收获得。＂
　　Oussedik告诉我，＂增加胶原蛋白的唯一方法是让你的身体  产生胶原蛋白  。那些声称能够产生胶原蛋白的护肤品广告其实都是在骗你的。＂
　　Not only does this invigorating facial tighten the skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles, the aforementioned anti-inflammatory properties of cryotherapy have also been proven to reduce puffiness, swelling and acne.
　　这种潮流盛行的面部超低温冷疗美容项目不仅能够紧致肌肤、抚平细纹和皱纹，它的抗炎特性也被证实能够减少浮肿、肿胀和  痤疮  。
　　As far as my personal experience goes, the minute I left Polaris I felt lighter and felt an instant mood and energy boost. The next morning, I noticed subtle but evident changes in my skin from the facial: my skin was radiant and visibly tighter, as puffiness around my cheeks and eyes had been reduced.
　　就我个人体验而言，结束冷疗之后，我感到身体很放松，也感受到了情绪和能量    的  正向提升  。
　　第二天早上，我注意到肌肤细微但明显的变化：我的皮肤变得  光彩照人  的，明显更  紧致  ，脸颊和眼睛周围的浮肿也减少了。
　　It may all sound too good to be true, but the numbers speak for themselves – 80% of people who have tried cryotherapy have reported a softening of lines, while 75% reported improvement in the softness and smoothness of their skin.
　　这听起来太不可思议，但数据验证了这个事实：  80%  尝试过超低温冷疗的人反馈说  皱纹变淡  了， 75% 的人报告说 皮肤弹性  和光滑程度有所改善。
