A Cryo Ice Sauna session exposing the entire body to extreme sub-zero temperatures for two to three minutes. The rapid cold stimulus activates the sympathetic nervous system, triggering vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation upon exiting. This cycle promotes endorphin release, reduces peripheral inflammation, and supports muscular recovery. Sessions include protective gear, a pre-entry briefing, and a brief warm-up period afterwards.
About this treatment
Cryo Tokyo's Cryo Ice Sauna is a whole-body cryotherapy chamber that surrounds clients in extreme sub-zero air for two to three minutes per session. Unlike partial-body cryotherapy devices where the head remains exposed, the Cryo Ice Sauna delivers uniform cold across the entire body, producing a more comprehensive physiological response.
During the brief exposure window, skin surface temperature drops rapidly. The nervous system registers this as a survival-level cold stimulus and redirects blood flow from the extremities toward the core organs. This process floods the bloodstream with endorphins, norepinephrine, and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Cold shock proteins activate cellular maintenance pathways that support tissue repair and resilience.
Upon exiting the chamber, peripheral blood vessels dilate and oxygen-rich blood rushes back through the body. Most clients report an immediate sense of alertness and elevated mood. Over a series of sessions, regular cryotherapy users frequently note reductions in delayed-onset muscle soreness, improved joint mobility, better sleep onset, and a sustained sense of mental clarity.
