It’s cold, but because the cold comes from dry air, and not water, it feels less painful than for example winter bathing or a very cold shower. The treatment has a short duration of 2-3 minutes and the cold is ‘dry’, so it is very tolerable. Towards the end of the treatment, you may get a ‘pins and needles’ sensation, which disappears immediately after the treatment.

Before treatment you will be dressed in protective clothing composed of cotton socks, cotton underwear (for men) and gloves.

Cryotherapy saunas have been used for almost 40 years. The only danger is if a client steps into the machine with wet clothing, especially wet socks, as water will freeze immediately at these temperatures.

The nitrogen used to cool the chambers is the same nitrogen that makes up the air we breathe (actually 78% of it). In either type of chamber, you will breathe room-air. For added safety, chambers are also equipped with an oxygen monitor. In order to protect the more temperature sensitive tissues such as hands and feet, clients wear dry socks, slippers, and gloves, which we provide you with before your treatment.

Cryotherapy has been shown to accelerate surgical recovery by reducing inflammation and pain and boosting the body’s own healing processes.

We will guide you safely through the best possible recovery plan post-surgery or help you with the right program for boosting your body pre-operation.

Acute injuries can be treated right away, but with open wounds, you will have to wait until your tissue is healed. If there is no open wounds you can start right away. Cryotherapy is also used to treat many skin conditions (including warts and skin tags) and some cancers, including prostate, cervical and liver cancer. This treatment is also called cryoablation. Cryotherapy sessions can have multiple benefits in accelerating the body’s natural healing process and ease pain and bruising following surgery and injury. Cryotherapy may reduce swelling, and promote an anti-inflammatory function in the body’s healing blueprint.

Consider it to be like a super advanced and highly effective ice pack, only it goes on your entire body and works on a much deeper level, at a more controlled rate, without the burning sensation of ice.
