Biofreeze Gel

What is Biofreeze Gel?

Biofreeze long-lasting pain relief gel is a topical cold therapy treatment for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains caused by sore muscles, backache, joint pain and arthritis. Biofreeze Gel is applied to the skin over the affected areas 3 - 4 times a day and is suitable for use by children and adults over the age of 2 years.

How does Biofreeze Gel work?

Biofreeze uses cold technology, which is applied to the skin surrounding painful, inflamed or stiff muscles and joints. By applying the gel to these areas, Biofreeze blocks the pain signals from being able to reach the brain and decreases the blood flow, which reduces any swelling.
