Do I have to take a shower either before or after my cryotherapy treatment?

No, showering is not necessary before or after cryotherapy. The entire procedure is dry and does not make your skin wet. Many clients come by during their lunch break since the entire treatment is only 3 minutes long. We can accommodate your specific scheduling request.

What do I wear? Can I keep my makeup on?

You may wear anything you would like to your appointment. Depending on the area of treatment, you may opt to change into a CryoYouth™ robes. Each robe is washed and cleaned thoroughly after every use, so we can ensure the highest level of cleanliness for all our clients. Moreover, cryo facials, unlike most facials, could be performed with make up on. However, we do ask that you do not apply any lotion or moisturizer to your skin an hour before your session or wear any piece of metal (i.e. body piercing) during your session. If client is getting a Whole Body Cryotherapy treatment, it is required that they keep their undergarments (bra, underwear, boxers, etc.) on during the session.

Are Cryotherapy treatments safe?

Absolutely. Nitrogen gas is a non-toxic natural gas. The atmosphere that we breathe is composed of 78% Nitrogen, 20% oxygen and 2% other elements. Nitrogen gas is utilized in Cryotherapy for its stable properties at very low temperatures.

Will I be able to tolerate the cold?

Cooled Nitrogen gas is very dry, so the feeling is not comparable to very cool water — it actually feels less uncomfortable and cold for this reason. The process of Cryotherapy never freezes the skin or soft tissue; the sensation of coldness is what actually drives the systemic response.
