How Does It Relieve Pain?
Polar Frost works through two complementary scientific mechanisms:
• TRPM8 Receptor Activation: Menthol binds to TRPM8 ion channels on sensory nerve fibres, triggering a powerful chemical 'cooling' signal. This is not mere surface cooling - it's a neurochemical event that mimics the sensation of approximately 23–28°C, providing deep analgesic relief without the risk of frostbite.
• Gate Control Theory: The rapid A beta thermal signals generated by the gel travel faster than pain-carrying C fibres and physically intercept pain signals at the spinal dorsal horn, blocking their transmission to the brain before they can be consciously perceived.
What Conditions Does It Help?
Key Benefits:
- Professional Pump Dispenser: Hygienic, single-handed, no-touch dispensing; eliminates jar contamination and double-dipping.
- 500ml Economy Volume: Outstanding value for regular users; reduces repurchasing frequency by up to 5x vs 100ml formats.
- Aloe-First Formula: Hydrates as it heals, the only cold gel designed for daily, chronic application without skin side effects.
- Drug-Free Safety: No NSAIDs, no steroids, no opioids. Suitable for all ages, including elderly patients on complex medication regimens.
- Coupling Agent Capability: High acoustic transmissivity and low electrical impedance make this gel compatible with physiotherapy ultrasound and TENS devices.
