Whole-Body Cryotherapy

Whole-body cryotherapy in a non-nitrogen chamber cooled to −150°F for 3-minute sessions. Exposure to extreme cold may support post-workout muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and boost mood via endorphin release. At $50 per session, cryotherapy is one of Next Health's most accessible recovery modalities. Available at the West Hollywood Sunset Blvd location.

Whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) at Next Health West Hollywood uses a non-nitrogen electric cryotherapy chamber cooled to −150°F (approximately −101°C) — an ultra-cold environment the client stands in for a 3-minute session. Unlike older cryosauna designs that use liquid nitrogen vapour to achieve target temperatures, Next Health's non-nitrogen system uses electric cooling to uniformly reduce chamber temperature without the risk of oxygen displacement that nitrogen vapour creates in enclosed single-person units, making it a safer and more consistent approach. During the 3-minute session, the sudden, intense cold triggers a powerful vasoconstriction response: superficial blood vessels in the skin and extremities constrict rapidly, driving blood toward the core to protect vital organs. When the client exits the chamber, vasodilation follows, sending freshly oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood back to the periphery. This cyclical vascular response is associated with enhanced muscle recovery by clearing lactate and reducing local inflammation, as well as a neurological response that releases endorphins and norepinephrine, producing the characteristic post-session mood elevation and energy boost that many clients report. Research on whole-body cryotherapy suggests potential benefits for delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), inflammatory markers, and psychological wellbeing, though individual responses vary. At $50 per session, WBC is positioned as a high-frequency, accessible recovery add-on — many Next Health clients use it immediately after a workout or as a 'reset' mid-day. Sessions at the West Hollywood location take only 3 minutes in the chamber, making the entire visit including check-in brief enough to fit into a lunch break.
