So you’re new to Cryotherapy and Googled, “Is it cold?," "Is it safe?," and "What does it feel like?” Our experts are here with the answers to help you feel confident before your first Whole Body Cryotherapy session at Restore Hyper Wellness.

Is Cryotherapy Cold?

Yes! Our full body chambers are set at -166 degrees Fahrenheit.

Is Cryotherapy Safe?

Yes, it’s safe. To ensure safety, a trained Restore Wellness Rep is always operating the chamber with two-way communication. They’ll provide you with the necessary protective gear, guide you through each step and play your favorite your song to listen to while you're inside. In case you’re feeling overwhelmed or claustrophobic, they’ll be there to help you out of the chamber sooner than you're alloted time.

What Does Cryotherapy Feel Like?

Imagine stepping outside your home on a cold, winter day... in socks, gloves and a hat.

What Happens When You Go Into Cryotherapy?

Upon entering, your body will naturally go into fight or flight mode. You’ll start shivering almost immediately. You’ll clench up. You’ll maybe recognize the song you picked. And you’ll stare long and hard at that countdown clock until the final seconds wind down, wondering why you decided this was a good choice to make in your life.

What Happens After Cryotherapy?

Upon exiting, your body will release endorphins, the feel good hormones that can reduce pain and also produce a sense of euphoria. How your body reacts to your own endorphins being released varies from person to person.
