20. What to expect and what to wear?
You may find this information in the videos by Dr. Alan Christianson: here... and here
19. Can electric cooling devices bring the same results as nitrogen based one?
No they can not. Cryoeffect may be reached only if the skin surface temperature is dropped down to almost 30 F in 30-60 seconds. It is impossible with electric devices. Besides electric chamber is not cold enough to awake cryoreaction of human bodies. You may find more information here...
18. Is nitrogen based cryosauna dangerous?
Absolutely not. Nitrogen is used in processes of new cells development. The only danger is if the liquid nitrogen contacted skin, which is impossible in our models.
17. Are there any studies regarding Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBA) in the USA?
Yes, there are. We recently installed cryosauna in the office of Dr. Jonas Kuehne in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California. During a 13 months study, Dr. Kuehne successfully served his clients with cryoprocedures. Besides the group of sport scientists conduct studies on effect of whole body cryotherapy on athlettes in the laboratory of Nike Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon under the leadership of Alberto Salazar. We are currently fielding requests from numerous other sources across the US as the treatment grows in popularity and success.
16. Is there any spa or salon in the USA to try cryosauna?
Yes, there are eighteen locations in the USA today. You can visit "CryoUSA" office at 6901 Snider Plaza, Dallas, TX 75205 (reservation may be made by 972-389-6460).

OR WE SAY: We are currently offering this treatment for $70.00 per procedure with a discount for multiple procedures or a treatment schedule.
14. Is there any information regarding Cryosauna in Europe?
13. How many clients can be served per day?
Due to the relatively short sessions (one to three minutes), the Cryosauna you can handle five times as many appointments per day as a normal tanning booth. The total number will depend on the efficiency of the schedule.
12. How do I maintain the system?
Millennium ICE provides maintenance training at each site, as well as continuous communication for maximum performance of each Cryosauna.
11. Where do I get liquid nitrogen?
Millennium ICE provides all the liquid nitrogen you will need.
10. How much space do I need if I want to install one?
Operators should dedicate at least 81 square feet to allow room for the Cryosauna as well as a changing booth.
9. Do I have to take a shower before and/or after the procedure?
No, you don't! This procedure is absolutely dry and does not make your skin wet!
8. I am claustrophobic. Can I use the Cryosauna?
Yes, you may. The door is never locked and you can step out at any moment. Also, the stage inside the cabin is adjusted to keep your head outside and over the edge of the cabin at all times.
7. Can I catch a cold because of this procedure?
Immediate cold impact of the cryosession will raise the internal body temperature up to 104F for a short period of time (around 30-40 sec). This rise has a positive effect on chills and may help to fight the cold...
6. How do I feel after?
During each session endorphines, or the body's natural "feel good" substance, are released. The buoyant effects from each session last at least six hours.
5. Is it comfortable?
Before entering the Cryosauna, clients are required to dress in protective clothing composed of cotton socks as well as a bathing suit. This allows clients to remain comfortable during the session.
4. Is nitrogen gas dangerous to human beings?
No, it isn't. Nitrogen is completely friendly gas. Air that we breathe is made up of 16% Oxygen, 1% Hydrogen, 78% Nitrogen and 5% of other components.
3. How does it work?
The Cryosauna uses gasiform nitrogen to lower the client's skin surface temperature from normal body temperature to 30-32 degrees in 30 seconds or less and keeps it that way for two-three minutes. The skin reacts to the cold and sends a powerful message to the brain that acts as a stimulant to all regulatory functions of the body. It produces the scanning of all areas that may not be working to their fullest potential. Here is the VIDEO OF THE PROCEDURE.
2. Has cryotherapy been tested?
Researchers in Europe have been developing and refining cryotherapy for more than two decades.
1. Who developed this technology?
The process was originally developed in Japan in 1978, and the benefits have been studied and refined in Europe since that time. |
