Experience the coldest Cryo Chamber in Chicago!
Our local & whole body cryo treatments use extreme cold (down to -240ºF) to give your body the jump start it needs to release endorphins, burn calories, accelerate muscular recovery, and more! We have 3000 liters of nitrogen connected to our Whole Body Cryo Chamber which makes our machine the coldest in Chicago!
How does Cryotherapy compare to an ice bath?
Whole body cryotherapy sessions result in a very different response from the body compared to traditional ice baths. 2 to 3 minutes in our Cryo Chamber, which is a cold, dry nitrogen vapor, is equivalent to 20-30 minutes in an ice bath without the uncomfortable feeling of submerging in ice cold water. The nitrogen vapor chills the top layers and cold receptors, lowering the outer body’s skin temperature to 40-50 degrees. This reduction causes the brain to restrict blood flow to your extremities, which is the body’s natural fight or flight response to extreme cold. The body reacts to full body cryotherapy by releasing anti-inflammatory proteins and endorphins resulting in supercharged blood. 15 minutes in an ice bath of cold water initially causes the body to move blood to the extremities and results in a lowering of the body’s core temperature. Ice baths do not supercharge the blood like whole body cryotherapy.

Whole Body Cryotherapy
We have 3000 liters of nitrogen connected to our Whole Body Cryo Chamber which makes our machine the coldest in Chicago (-240F). The Whole Body Cryo Chamber is a single person device which envelopes a client's body while keeping the head and neck area exposed to room air above the chamber. This is a 2-3 minute session which will immediately take down muscle inflammation, help with joint pain and boost metabolism.
CryoFacial™
A controlled beam of vaporized liquid nitrogen is used to freeze the skin of the face, scalp, and neck area. If done regularly, our CryoFacial™ can build collagen which will help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The CryoFacial™ is a 10 minutes session that you can do with or with out makeup. It will take down puffiness, tighten your skin and shrink your pores.
Local Cryotherapy
Decrease inflammation and swelling in targeted areas and subsequently reduce pain. It's like an accelerated ice pack, only a lot colder and a lot quicker. Sessions can last anywhere between 3 - 6 minutes depending on how quickly your skin gets cold.
Cryo T-Shock
The Cryo T-Shock applies sub-zero temperatures to eliminate fat cells, reduce cellulite, and tighten loose skin. 3-5 sessions per area are recommended for the best results. Clients can tackle one area every 7 days.
