Frequently Asked Questions

Cryotherapy is an innovative treatment based on the localized or full body use of intense cold to reduce the surface temperature of the body to 4°C. This drop boosts blood circulation, which in turn results in a higher metabolic and caloric burn rate. The increased circulation of healthy nutrients in the body stimulates various health benefits in the areas of performance, recovery, wellness, beauty, and slimming.

A Cryotherapy Chamber is a technologically advanced unit that is used for whole-body cryotherapy sessions. Once you step into a Cryotherapy Chamber, your body is enveloped with cryogenically cooled air with temperatures reaching as low as -140°C for a maximum period of three minutes. Different variables in the chamber are adjustable to ensure a comfortable experience.

Cryotherapy treatments are not dangerous as the liquid nitrogen that is used as a chilling agent does not come in contact with your skin. A trained operator is always present during the treatment to control the temperature levels and monitor your comfort.

Most people can do a cryotherapy session. The people who cannot are anyone who: (1) has unmanaged hypertension or a pacemaker, (2) has a history of or is being treated for cancer (3) has deep vein thrombosis, (4) has a cold allergy or (5) is pregnant. If you have questions about whether you face any risk, you should first ask your healthcare provider before booking a session.

Yes! °CRYO treatments are comfortable. Describing the feeling of a °CRYO Chamber treatment is like standing naked in front of a freezer on a hot day.

It varies. Most of our treatments last for three minutes. However, some of our facial and other treatments can last up to 60 minutes depending on your requirements. Please refer to individual service pages to find out how long your desired treatment will last.

Absolutely. Our Whole Body Cryotherapy Chamber has an adjustable window with 100% breathable air technology. The chamber is also equipped with a door that is closed but not locked, so you are always in control while in the chamber.

You will be in your underwear or we will provide disposable ones if requested. Women can wear bras as well. We will also supply mittens, socks and foot protection to protect your extremities from the cold.

There is no showering involved with cryotherapy. Our treatments are completely dry.

It depends on the results you are trying to achieve. We generally recommend 2-3 treatments per week to see results. °CRYO Stay Young cannot guarantee that any of our clients will see specific results. However, we can tell you that you’ll feel great right away after completing your first treatment. Our clients usually experience a rush of endorphins, the body’s natural mood elevator, following a session. This lift can last for several hours. Depending on your physical condition, you may feel immediate relief from joint and muscle pain, improved energy, and increased flexibility that can last for several hours or even days. Of course, results will vary based on the individual.

While every °CRYO session is beneficial, we recommend clients book a package to receive maximum benefits. As a maintenance program, we suggest that the series be repeated every three months. Professional athletes will often have between 4-6 sessions per week to help achieve peak performance during intense training periods.

  • Cryotherapy cannot be carried out on people with unmanaged hypertension or a pacemaker, people who have undergone or are undergoing cancer treatment, people with deep vein thrombosis, people who have a cold allergy, or on pregnant women.
  • Please wait for 24 hours after the recent use of a tanning bed, sunbathing, or application of a local anesthetic.
  • Cryotherapy cannot be carried out within one month of a new tattoo, new piercing, slimming, liposuction, silicone implants, Botox, or fillers.

Doing cryotherapy with a friend is more fun and helps keep you motivated. However, all guests must book for services in advance as we have limited rooms available. If he or she is simply accompanying you to watch, then it is completely alright as long as you are comfortable.
