Whole-Body Cryotherapy

Type

Cryotherapy

Duration

3 min

A three-minute whole-body cryotherapy session in an Art of Cryo three-chamber system cooled to minus 110 degrees Celsius. The electrically operated, nitrogen-free chamber acclimatises clients through progressively colder rooms before the main exposure. The rapid temperature drop triggers a systemic cold-stress response that may support reduced inflammation, elevated mood, improved sleep quality, and faster post-exercise recovery. Cryodukt's three-chamber design allows for a more gradual adaptation compared to single-step cryo cabins.

Cryodukt's whole-body cryotherapy uses an Art of Cryo three-chamber system, widely considered one of the most advanced electrically operated cryotherapy units available. Unlike nitrogen-powered cryo cabins that expose only the body below the neck, this walk-in chamber envelops the entire body — including the head — in evenly distributed cold air at minus 110 degrees Celsius. The three-chamber architecture is central to the experience. Clients move through a sequence of progressively colder rooms: the first chamber sits at approximately minus 10 degrees, the second at around minus 60 degrees, and the final exposure chamber reaches minus 110 degrees. This staged cooling allows the body to begin adapting before the peak cold stimulus, which may improve comfort and tolerance compared to a sudden single-step entry. During the three minutes of active exposure in the main chamber, skin surface temperature drops rapidly. The nervous system responds by redirecting blood flow to the core, triggering a cascade of physiological events: endorphin and norepinephrine levels rise, cold shock proteins activate pathways associated with cellular maintenance, and peripheral vasoconstriction reduces swelling in muscles and joints. On exiting, blood returns to the extremities carrying fresh oxygen and nutrients. Because the system is electrically operated, it produces no nitrogen gas. This eliminates the displacement of ambient oxygen that can occur in nitrogen-based systems, and it allows the chamber to cool the head and face alongside the rest of the body — an important distinction, as facial cold receptors contribute significantly to the norepinephrine response. Cryodukt recommends building a regular protocol of two to three sessions per week for ongoing recovery and wellbeing benefits. The first-time offer of three sessions for CHF 84 is designed to let new clients experience the cumulative effect before committing to a multi-session pack. Protective gloves, socks, and headband are provided. The total visit time including preparation and a brief warm-up period is approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Clients consistently report improved mood and energy immediately after the session, with cumulative benefits for sleep quality, joint comfort, and exercise recovery emerging over the first few weeks of regular use. The treatment is popular with athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone seeking a non-invasive approach to managing inflammation and stress.
