      What to Wear and the Changing Process:

      Upon arrival at our center, you’ll be greeted and provided with all necessary equipment. You’ll have access to a private, clean, and comfortable changing room. For the procedure, you’ll wear cotton underwear that covers intimate areas. We’ll provide you with special socks, gloves, and slippers to protect your extremities.

      The Session

      When you’re ready, our trained staff will escort you to the cryochamber and explain the entire process.
      You’ll prepare for the session by removing your clothes to expose us much skin as possible.
      You will receive a robe to cover yourself before entering the chamber.
      After entering, you’ll be exposed to very low temperatures (from -110° to -140°C) for 2-3 minutes.

      During the first few seconds, you may feel intense cold, but don’t worry – this is normal and safe. Your body will quickly adapt and start producing endorphins, giving you a pleasant feeling of euphoria. Our operator will communicate with you throughout the session to ensure your safety and comfort.

      After the Session

      Once the session is over, you’ll be left alone to change, feeling refreshed and energized.
      After the session, we recommend excercise and drinking plenty of water to support the detoxification process.
      Most clients experience an immediate increase in energy, improved mood, and release of muscle tension. In the hours following, you may notice improved sleep quality and an overall increase in vitality.
