Cold Air Exposure is the exposure of the human body to extreme cold, most often applied inside a cold air wellness chamber. The purpose of cold air exposure is attributed to maximizing the potential for a rapid and improved response to injury, to long-term conditioning of the body and for the observed positive aesthetic effects it can have on the skin. The positive effects of cold air exposure have been recognized for hundreds of years, but its’ absolute potential has only been discovered recently.
Once the session is over, and the body starts realizing the safe conditions it is in, it releases blood vessels and muscles in an act of vasodilation. Any risk of hypothermia with cold air exposure is prevented by the time limit that a person can stay inside, which is 3 minutes. Cold air exposure in the short run has been seen to speed up recovery from injuries, but it has also contributed to improvements in some detrimental health conditions.
Cold air exposure is performed in the controlled environment of our cold air wellness chamber and clients are monitored at all times by trained staff. Our equipment has complied with health and safety standards across dozens of countries.
All operators must follow the guidelines for safe operation. Our cold air wellness chambers perform more than 10,000 cold air sessions every day and apart from being tested by our safety and production standards, the safety of cold air exposure performed in our equipment has also been tested with time.
Cold air exposure is very well tolerated and has minimal risks. Risks include fluctuations in blood pressure during the treatment by up to 10 points systolically
The following conditions are contraindications to cold air exposure: Pregnancy, severe Hypertension (BP> 180/100), acute or recent myocardial infarction,
Clients should always check with their medical providers regarding their particular medical status.
Cold air exposure is ideal for athletes seeking muscle recovery, people with chronic pain and inflammatory conditions, and those seeking weight loss and skin rejuvenation.
We provide you with dry socks and slip-on sandals for your feet. We also provide light cotton gloves for your hands. Men should have a dry undergarment; not required for women.
Consider themselves cold intolerant. Towards the end of the treatment, you may get a “pins and needles” sensation which will disappate after the treatment.
The cold air wellness chamber transforms liquid nitrogen into extremely cold gasiform air that enters the cabin with the aim of lowering the client’s skin surface temperature over a period of 1,5 – 3 minutes.
Cold air exposure stimulates the body to release endorphins, the hormones that make us feel alert and energetic. The buoyant effects from each session typically last for six to eight hours. Cold air exposure may alleviate pain in joints and injured areas.
Yes, an advantage of cold air exposure over ice therapy is that tissues and muscle are not frozen. Ten to 15 minutes of light exercise post cold air exposure will induce more rapid vasodilation of the blood vessels and capillaries, and extend the period of analgesia.
Showering is not necessary before or after cold air exposure. The entire procedure is dry and does not make your the skin wet.
With the help of medical experts, we now understand the danger of chronic inflammation. It has been recognized as a root cause of diseases that are associated with aging and other serious disabilities on ones health.
The basic principle of cold air exposure lies in the defensive reaction of the body to the extreme cold, which sets off a temporary illusion that the body is going into hypothermia.
As a part of sports preparation, cold air exposure is recommended for reducing inflammation, improving stamina, and an overall increase in energy levels just before workouts or sports endeavours.
Since the cold from cold air exposure only penetrates the surface of the skin, you will only experience a slight chill. Cold air exposure improves circulation throughout the body and stimulates production of brown fat, so your future ability to tolerate cold should improve.
No. The immediate cold impact of the cold air session will raise the internal body temperature for a short period of time. The stimulation of the immune system can help decrease the severity and frequency of future colds.
Yes. The clients head remains exposed to ambient air in the room and they are able to communicate with any persons in the room. The client’s head will remain above the top rim at all times.
Cold air exposure results in a very different response from the body than it would with an Ice Bath. In the cold air wellness chamber, three minutes of extreme, dry cold will only reach the top layers of skin land cold receptors causing the brain to restrict blood flow to an internal cycle.
Localized cooling is intended for short-term local/spot treatment of specific points on the body (face, joints etc.). The stream of extremely cool air bursts at temperatures ranging from -110°C to -150°C.
Owing to the maximum temperature being at the nozzle (up to -150˚С), we need to skillfully the operator can achieve the necessary degree of cooling by varying distance from the nozzle to the exposed skin (each centimeter of the stream means temperature increase by 50 to 80˚С) and the flow rate.
