Cryotherapy machines work to produce dry cold air that can be pushed around users to experience various benefits.

Precision in temperature control is paramount for safe and effective cryotherapy sessions. Contrary to popular belief, experiencing discomfort or pain during a session isnt a reliable indicator of its effectiveness. This is because pain receptors lie deeper within the skin compared to cold receptors, which cease detecting temperatures slightly above freezing at 32°F (0°C). Therefore, assessing treatment success based on pain or discomfort is misleading.
The measure of a successful cryotherapy session lies in carefully reducing skin temperature, typically by 10%, 30%, or 50%.
The key to a successful cryotherapy session is gradually lowering the skin temperature, usually by 10%, 30%, or 50%. Yet, how each person responds to cold varies a lot, not just between individuals but also in different parts of the body. This is why the best machines can target different areas of the body with different temperature in real time [Book a consultation with me to learn more].
Before diving into the world of cryotherapy machines, lets first explore the different types available:

In the next sections, well delve into choosing the best option for your needs.
Body and localized cryotherapy offer very different experiences, cater to different needs, and come with varying costs.
Whole and full body cryotherapy machines are like giant walk-in freezers that can plunge your entire body into sub-zero temperatures. The intense cold is known to help with muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and leave you feeling energized. These machines are designed to give you a full-body deep freeze, and theyre a great choice for people who want a powerful and invigorating treatment.
Whole-body and full-body cryotherapy machines typically cost between $30,000 and $280,000. Youll often find them in wellness centers, sports facilities, and dedicated cryotherapy clinics.
Localized cryotherapy machines, on the other hand, target specific areas of the body that need attention. They deliver a more gentle and personalized treatment, focusing on localized concerns without subjecting the entire body to extreme cold.
If youre looking for a targeted approach to address specific areas of pain or inflammation, localized cryotherapy is a good option. Instead of stepping into a chamber, you can receive treatment directly on the problem area. Localized cryotherapy machines can provide relief for sore joints, aching muscles, and nagging injuries.
Localized cryotherapy machines are typically more affordable than whole-body machines, with prices starting at around $7,500.
Choosing between electric and nitrogen doesnt matter for localized cryotherapy machines as they are fairly similar in terms of pricing and efficiency. But when it comes to whole-body and full-body machines, the decision ultimately boils down to two key factors: the ability to tailor the temperature to individual users and, of course, budget.

We like to distinguish 3 types of machines:
Nitrogen cryo machines deliver a powerful blast of cold, reaching temperatures as low as -196°C. While this extreme cold might seem appealing, maintaining precise temperature control can be challenging due to the rapid expansion of nitrogen gas within these machines. Additionally, managing the nitrogen supply, often stored in large 220-liter tanks, can be labor-intensive and time-consuming.
Pros:
Cons:
Electric machines with active cooling take a different approach, offering real-time temperature adjustment based on the users skin temperature. They create a bone-chilling experience by chilling the chamber to around -4°F (-20°C)and utilizing powerful blowers to deliver the sensation of cold.
Pros:
Cons:
Designed specifically for businesses or teams accommodating multiple users simultaneously, electric machines without active cooling maintain a stable temperature range, usually around -130°F to -166°F (-90°C to -110°C). They offer a highly safe environment for users and can handle multiple individuals during a single session. However, they come with their own set of challenges, including a complex installation process, lengthy cooldown times, and high reliance on the manufacturer for repairs and maintenance.
Pros:
Cons:
Cryotherapy machine cost from $7,000 to $280,000, depending on the model, brand, features, and technology incorporated.
Let me save you some time with the following table that shows what you can afford based on your budget. I took in consideration the average cost of installation and the potentially required renovations/fittings to install machines.
The CRYO XC whole body cryotherapy chamber is a non-medical device designed for the rapid exposure of the users body to extremely cold temperatures ranging from -110°C to -150°C and -170°F to -240°F.
The cool vapors released by the unit create a vortex of extremely cold air that surrounds the user with the goal of conditioning their body.
The short treatment time and sudden exposure to the cold environment gives the user the benefits of an ice bath combined with the experience of exposing their body to an environment colder than any place on Earth.
