Can I catch a cold because of this procedure?

No. The immediate cold impact of the Cryosession will raise the internal body temperature for a short period of time.

Can I use whole body cryotherapy if I am claustrophobic?

Yes, you may. The door is never locked and you may step out at any moment. The session is continually monitored by a trained technician.

Can minors use whole body cryotherapy?

Any minor greater than 11 years old can use Whole Body Cryotherapy. Any minor between the ages of 11 and 13 years old must have parental/guardian consent and a parent/legal guardian present during the treatment. Any minor between the ages of 14 and 17 years old only need parental/guardian consent prior to treatments but can undergo treatments without a parent/legal guardian being present.

Do I have to take a shower before or after cryotherapy?

No, you don't. This procedure is dry and does not make your skin wet.

Has Cryotherapy been tested?

Researchers and providers in Europe have been developing and refining cryotherapy for more than thirty years.

How can anyone endure the cold and how will I feel after?

The process only involves hyper cooled air flowing over the surface of the skin so the process never freezes any skin tissues or organs. The result is only a “feeling” of being cold. During each session endorphins, or the body's natural "feel good" substance, are released. The buoyant effects from each session lasts approximately six hours.

How do I feel after the treatment?

Our clients report that after each session, they feel good and energetic.

How does this compare to an ice bath?

It doesn’t. It is simply not possible to achieve the same temperatures and effect with an ice bath. Furthermore, an ice bath is generally an excruciating 12-15 minutes or longer wet process, whereas cryotherapy is only a 2 to 3½ minute completely dry session.

How many times in a day can I get Cryotherapy?

We recommend no more than 2 times a day and only then if you are in heavy training. Otherwise a consistent regiment of two or three times a week for most people is adequate. Keep in mind, it is important for the skin to return to body temperature between each session. Usually a 10 minute waiting period is adequate between sessions.

How many treatments should I do?

A typical course is 5-10 treatments in close succession (separated by 1-2 days --- e.g. 3x/week. After that you can take fewer treatments spaced further apart to maintain and improve results (e.g. once every week or two weeks).

Is cryotherapy safe?

Single person and multi-person walk-in cryochambers have been used for almost 40 years. Problems only arise if a client steps into the machine with wet clothing, especially wet socks, as water will freeze immediately at these temperatures. To protect the more temperature sensitive tissues such as hands and feet, clients wear dry socks, slippers, and gloves, which we provide.

Is the cryotherapy chamber comfortable?

Before entering the cryochamber, clients are required to dress in protective clothing composed of cotton socks, cotton underwear (for men), and gloves. The treatment is of short duration (2-3.5 minutes), and the cold is "dry", so it is very tolerable. Towards the end of the treatment, you may get a "pins and needles" type of sensation, which disappears immediately after the treatment.

What are the benefits of cryotherapy?

Cryotherapy is the body’s exposure to subzero temperatures used to promote a natural anti-inflammatory response, release endorphins, reduce pain and spasms, boost cellular survival, and promote overall health. Cryotherapy is not a medical procedure, but a non-invasive alternative for individuals seeking a faster recovery and improved health.

What are the risks of whole body cryotherapy?

Whole Body Cryotherapy is very well tolerated, fluctuations in blood pressure during the procedure can change by 10 points (this effect reverses after the end of the procedure, as peripheral circulation returns to normal), allergic reaction to extreme cold (rare), claustrophobia, redness, and skin burns (only if exposed to low temperatures longer than recommended) have been reported.

When will I see the results of Cryotherapy?

Most users will see results after about a week or three to five consecutive sessions.
