What is a cryosauna?
The cryosauna (also known as whole-body cryotherapy) uses the effects of extremely cold air to trigger targeted reactions in the body. During the brief application of approximately 2–4 minutes, the cold causes the blood vessels to constrict and then expand again – a process that sustainably improves blood circulation, oxygen supply, and metabolism.
After just a few sessions, many users report increased energy, deeper sleep, firmer skin, and noticeably faster recovery after training or exertion. In addition, up to 800 calories can be burned in a single session – a natural side effect of activating the energy metabolism.
