  • Is nitrogen gas dangerous?

    No, nitrogen gas is not dangerous. It's used to create the extremely cold temperatures we use in our treatment. Did you know that, according to Forbes, cryotherapy can reach temperatures as low as -200 Fahrenheit? Nitrogen gas is present in the air we breathe every day.

  • What can I expect to happen during a Cryotherapy session?

    Before entering the Cryochamber for the first time, our trained staff will walk you through the process step by step so you know exactly what to expect. While using the Cryochamber your extremities will be protected by gloves, socks, and slippers. Women can choose whether to remove or wear undergarments; men are required to wear cotton underwear for protection. The session will last between 1.5 and 3 minutes. During this time your core body temperature will not change. Because the air does not contain any moisture, you will feel chilled but not uncomfortably cold. Your skin temperature will drop to an average of 50° F during the session but will increase back to normal within a few minutes of the session’s conclusion.

  • What is a Cryochamber?

    A Cryochamber is a metal chamber that conceals your body from the neck down and is equipped with a door and a platform that adjusts to your height.


    The Cryochamber emits a nitrogen mist and creates cold air that quickly lowers your external skin’s temperature in less than 60 seconds.


    For two-and-half to three minutes, you slowly turn while in the cabin so that the subzero air evenly envelops your body. All Cryochambers that Elevate uses are proudly made in the United States.


  • What does the client wear in the cryochamber?

    Dry socks with a slipper/sandal for the feet, light cotton gloves for the hands and a dry undergarment. This is to protect your extremities from any potential damage from the extreme temperatures.

  • Can I exercise after the cryotherapy session?

    Yes, a distinct advantage of cryotherapy over an ice bath treatment is that the muscle tissues do not actually freeze and thus does not require time to rest. Ten minutes of light exercise post cryotherapy will actually induce more rapid vasodilation of the vessels and capillaries which increases blood flow to the tissues that need it most.

  • How long does a session take?

    Depending on the condition you are treating, our professional staff will recommend a session that last between 1.5 and 3 minutes. No session is longer than 3 minutes.
