- CRYO Arctic whole-body session (2-3 min at -110 to -140°C)
- Preparation and acclimatisation
- Complimentary tea and filtered water
A two-to-three-minute whole-body cryotherapy session using a CRYO Arctic chamber that cools breathable air to between -110°C and -140°C. The session lasts approximately 10-15 minutes in total, including preparation and acclimatisation. Unlike nitrogen-based units, the CRYO Arctic uses electrically cooled air, allowing the head to remain inside the chamber throughout the treatment.
About this treatment
Whole-body cryotherapy at Octane Wellness uses the CRYO Arctic, a walk-in chamber that circulates electrically cooled air rather than vaporised nitrogen. This distinction matters because it allows full-body exposure including the head, and eliminates the risks associated with direct nitrogen contact. The chamber reaches temperatures between -110°C and -140°C, though the actual time spent at these extremes is brief — typically two to three minutes.
The physiological response to extreme cold exposure is well documented in the sports science literature. Rapid surface cooling triggers peripheral vasoconstriction, which may support the body's natural inflammatory response and is associated with reduced perceived muscle soreness following intense physical activity. Cold exposure also stimulates norepinephrine release, which some research has linked to improvements in mood and alertness.
Octane offers this treatment as both a standalone session and as a component of their multi-modality ritual packages. The Recovery Ritual, for example, pairs cryotherapy with infrared sauna and compression therapy for a contrast-based recovery protocol. Multi-session packages are available at 10% off for five sessions or 15% off for ten, making regular use more accessible for athletes and recovery-focused clients.
