How does it work?
By applying Lander® Polar Ice over the area of pain there is an immediate cooling sensation in the skin that can last up to a few minutes. Because of this cooling effect the body activates its own temperature regulation system that causes local dilation of the blood vessels. This leads to a topical reactive hyperemia that relaxes and detoxifies the muscles and therefore decreases the pain.
What are its characteristics?
It has a pleasant scent that fades away within a few minutes
It doesn’t stain nor leaves a greasy sense on the skin.
It is easily applied without the patient having to rub it on
A small amount of Lander® Polar Ice is enough for a rather large skin area.
