What makes cooling sprays so unique?

Cooling sprays are an essential part of many first aid and sports medicine kits. In contrast to conventional cooling treatments, they offer a rapid cooling and soothing effect. They reduce inflammation, relieve pain and aid recovery. Known for their effective cooling, they have a beneficial effect on tense muscles, joints or acute injuries. Through targeted cooling, ice sprays can reduce swelling and have an anaesthetic effect that temporarily relieves pain. These versatile properties make cooling sprays the ideal choice for athletes, people with injuries and general household use.

Cooling sprays for sports injuries and everyday life

The cooling effect of ice sprays provides effective pain relief and can be particularly effective in emergency situations. Cold slows down nerve transmission and produces a temporary anaesthetic effect. This reduces the sensation of pain in acute complaints such as sprains, bruises and strains and alleviates the progression of injuries. In addition, cold reduces inflammation and swelling by reducing blood flow and inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory substances. Ice sprays from the renowned brands Polar Frost and Rehab Medic are a good choice for pain relief in first aid cases due to their strong cooling properties.

Cooling spray in sport: the secret weapon for quick recovery

Cooling sprays play an essential role in sports. Not only are they an instant savior in the event of a sudden injury on the pitch, they are also a reliable companion for athletes preparing for optimum performance.

Immediate pain relief:sprains, bruises and contusions can occur in numerous sports that require quick movement and contact. Ice sprays can be the first resort in such moments. They make it possible to relieve pain early on.
Regeneration support: Regeneration is very important after an intensive training session or game. Cooling sprays reduce swelling and accelerate muscle and joint regeneration through immediate cooling. This not only promotes recovery, but also supports preparation for further activities.
Handy and practical: The handy spray bottle makes ice sprays very practical. Easy to transport and ready to use when you need it.

What should I look out for when being applied?

Before using cooling sprays, it is important to note a few points to ensure safe use:

Distance and duration: keep the ice spray at an appropriate distance from the treated area when applying (usually around 15 to 30 cm). Do not spray for more than a few seconds to prevent hypothermia and skin damage.
Spray movement: Move the ice spray evenly over the affected area.
Injuries and open wounds: Do not use cooling spray on open wounds or injured skin as this can cause irritation and infection.
Eye and respiratory protection: Avoid direct contact of the ice spray with the eyes or respiratory tract. To prevent irritation, cover your eyes and mouth when spraying near the eyes or mouth.
Aftercare: Protect the treated area after application to avoid hypothermia, e.g. with a bandage or cloth.

Are all cooling sprays the same?

Although cooling sprays may appear similar on the surface, there are actually differences between the products on the market. These differences mainly concern composition, ingredients and quality, which can affect effectiveness and application.

RehabMedic® Arnica Cooling Spray is a synthetic icing spray specifically designed for athletes to treat sprains, strains and traumatic impacts. The product is essential in first aid and can be sprayed directly onto the affected area for a quick, cooling effect.

In contrast Polar Frost® Spray is a soothing aloe vera-based cooling gel. Compared to synthetic ice sprays, Polar Frost® slowly lowers the skin temperature in the affected area over a period of around 4 to 6 hours without the risk of hypothermia or frostbite. It is therefore ideal for muscle tension, joint pain, swelling and inflammation and has a supportive effect on musculoskeletal pain and inflammatory diseases. The natural ingredients such as cooling menthol and nourishing aloe vera provide refreshment and relaxation after training.

In terms of content, Rehab Medic® products offer quick cooling options for acute injuries, while Polar Frost® offers gentler and more consistent relief with its natural formula and longer-lasting cooling properties.
