Whole-Body Cryotherapy

A two-to-five-minute session in an electric whole-body cryotherapy chamber cooled to minus 110 degrees Celsius. The rapid temperature drop triggers a cold shock response involving vasoconstriction, endorphin release, and activation of anti-inflammatory pathways. Clients commonly report improved mood, reduced muscle soreness, and better sleep quality after regular sessions. The electric chamber provides uniform cold exposure across the entire body without nitrogen gas contact.

AYUN's whole-body cryotherapy session places you inside an electric chamber cooled to minus 110 degrees Celsius for two to five minutes of controlled cold exposure. Unlike nitrogen-based cryotherapy units where the head remains above the chamber, AYUN uses an electric walk-in chamber that delivers uniform cold across the entire body including the head, producing a more comprehensive systemic response. During exposure, skin surface temperature drops rapidly. The nervous system interprets this as a significant environmental stressor and activates a cascade of protective responses. Blood is redirected from the extremities toward the core, concentrating around vital organs. The body releases endorphins and norepinephrine — a neurotransmitter associated with alertness, mood elevation, and focus. Cold shock proteins are activated, initiating cellular maintenance and repair processes. When you exit the chamber, peripheral blood vessels dilate and oxygen-enriched blood flows back to the extremities. Many people experience an immediate sense of energy and mental clarity. Research suggests that repeated cryotherapy sessions may help reduce exercise-induced muscle damage, support joint health, improve sleep architecture, and contribute to a more balanced inflammatory response over time. The session begins with a brief health screening for first-time visitors. Protective gear for hands, feet, and ears is provided. The total appointment time is approximately 15 minutes including changing and a short recovery period after the active exposure. AYUN offers single sessions at CHF 55, with 10-session and 20-session packs available at reduced per-session rates. Cryotherapy is also included in the unlimited monthly membership starting from CHF 249, which covers access to cryotherapy, red light therapy, and contrast therapy. The walk-in format means no appointment is strictly necessary during operating hours, though booking online secures a specific time slot. Cryotherapy pairs well with contrast therapy and red light therapy for a stacked recovery protocol, and many AYUN clients combine two or three modalities in a single visit.
