What is

?

iovera° treatment is simple and only takes about 30 minutes

Step 1: Numbing

First, a numbing agent (topical or injected) is applied to minimize discomfort during treatment. iovera° treatment is not painful.

Step 2: Smart Tip

Then, a small probe (we call it a “Smart Tip”) is inserted into the skin.

Under the skin, a precise cold zone forms, which temporarily freezes the targeted nerve. This immediately blocks the nerve from sending pain signals to your brain for up to 90 days.

Step 3: Repeat

Your doctor will repeat this process until the targeted nerve is blocked. The entire treatment takes about 30 minutes.

See the iovera° system in action.

iovera° targets the nerves

The iovera° system is a handheld device that allows your doctor to target specific nerves with just the right amount of cold. This temporarily stops the nerves from sending pain signals. iovera° is precise and safe—it cannot damage surrounding tissue.

You will feel immediate relief after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • iovera° is an innovative pain relief treatment known as cryoneurolysis, or cold therapy. It is FDA-cleared to provide relief for pain related to osteoarthritis (OA) and knee replacement surgery. It’s also an excellent option for individuals who are unable to undergo knee replacement surgery.
