- Up to 3-minute whole-body cold exposure below −80°C
- Pre-session health screening (first visit)
- Protective gear provided (gloves, socks)
- Post-session recovery time
A whole-body cold exposure session where temperatures drop below −80°C for up to three minutes. The rapid cooling triggers vasoconstriction as the body works to protect its core temperature, redirecting blood flow to vital organs. On rewarming, enriched blood returns to the extremities, carrying oxygen and nutrients while endorphins and anti-inflammatory proteins are released.
About this treatment
Whole-body cryotherapy at Ritual Biohacking exposes the body to extremely cold, dry air — below −80°C — for up to three minutes. Unlike ice baths, which rely on conduction through water, cryotherapy chambers use dry cold that cools the skin surface rapidly without the sustained discomfort of water immersion.
During the session, skin temperature drops sharply, activating temperature receptors that signal the brain to initiate a protective response. Blood vessels in the extremities constrict, drawing blood toward the core where it circulates around vital organs. This process enriches the blood with additional oxygen and nutrients. When you step out of the chamber, blood rushes back to the periphery, delivering those enriched resources throughout the body.
The nervous system response includes a release of endorphins and norepinephrine, which many people experience as heightened alertness, improved mood, and reduced perception of pain. Anti-inflammatory proteins released during the cold exposure may help reduce swelling and support recovery from physical exertion.
