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.
About this treatment
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…
