Don't get old without fighting back

NORWALK — Everybody gets old. That's life. There are ways to fight back. New procedures have been boosting business in recent months at Northern Ohio Cryotherapy, according to owners June and Justin Fulton. Since the end of 2021, the business has offered Botox injections and dermal fillers, to not only erase the wrinkles and lines that appear in skin with aging, but to prevent their onset and severity, according to the couple. The two said the new offerings are highly successful for their clients and are leading the way toward the expansion of the business. "It's great for preventative maintenance," said Justin, who undergoes the procedures himself. He said that the Botox and dermal filler treatments can help anyone who begins to experience wrinkling, from their 30s to 50s and on. Justin said preventative maintenance of his skin is a necessary proactive activity. "I don't wait until I've got a hundred thousand miles on my vehicle to get an oil change, either," Justin said. "Everyone can benefit from that," June said. "It prevents the deep wrinkles. Another set of new offerings is also gaining enormous popularity, the intravenous and intramuscular injections of vitamins and minerals. The injections are designed to increase clients' energy and immunity levels, while fighting off dehydration. Another of the injection offerings is also designed to increase an individual's metabolism. One of the energy supplements recently increased the energy levels of a client with sustained COVID-19 effects for approximately eight weeks, June detailed. "If you don't have energy, you can't do much," June said. Northern Ohio Cryotherapy also offers whole-body cryotherapy treatments, red light therapy, infrared sauna and NormaTec compression therapy. The NormaTec therapy is a compression massage that includes the legs, hips and arms and can assist with lymphatic drainage of the tissues, June explained. "It does help with early-stage varicose veins," she added. Running the business is a second job for both of them — Justin is a Norwalk police sergeant and June is a registered nurse at the Mercy Tiffin Hospital ER.
