Whole Body Cryotherapy briefly freezes the skin stimulating the production of anti-inflammatory proteins, as well as collagen elastin production in the skin. Professional athletes who have used ice baths in the past have found Cryotherapy to be a more comfortable and effective method to decrease recovery time, and increase athletic performance.

During treatment the body is exposed to -90 to -150 degrees celsius. The client stands in a cryogenic chamber for a short duration of 1.5-3 minutes, which lowers the client's skin surface temperature significantly and stimulates receptors. During the 1.5-3 min session, the average skin temperature drops to 10 °C (50 °F), while the coldest skin temperature can be 0 °C (32 °F). The core body temperature remains unchanged throughout the process.
