Cold Therapy Pain Relief
Scientifically Proven Cooling
How It Works?
Biofreeze relieves pain in 3 steps using the gate control theory 2,4
Step 1: Biofreeze activates specific cold receptors in the skin and leads to localised cooling through evaporation of key ingredients from the skin2
Step 2: Cooling Biofreeze overrides pain signals to the brain2
Step 3: The cooling effect is perceived over the pain sensation, helping with pain relief2

Pain signals become
blocked before reaching
the brains
Biofreeze produces
a cold sensation
overriding the pain signals
Cool The Pain
TARGETED COOLING
Applying Biofreeze directly to the skin can bring targeted and effective pain relief
FAST ACTING VIA COOLING
Biofreeze cooling formula is backed by science and research proven
LONGER LASTING*
9/10 patients say it lasts longer than a cold pack3
*vs ice packs/cryotherapy
