Service Details

Whole Body Cryotherapy

3 min · $65

3-minute exposure in a Juka cryosauna chamber cooled to -225F to -250F using liquid nitrogen vapor. Chamber cools the skin to trigger the body's fight-or-flight response, redirecting blood to the core and supercharging it with oxygen and anti-inflammatory proteins. Staff remain present throughout the session for conversation and monitoring. No downtime; immediate return to normal body temperature. Robes, socks, gloves, and slippers provided.

CryoToning Facial

10 min · $65

10-minute non-invasive treatment using nitrogen vapor applied to the face, neck, and scalp to boost microcirculation and accelerate collagen production.
