Cryomist, Carlsbad

The cryotherapy chamber at CryoMIST engulfs the entire body in freezing air, but not for the sake of spreading goosebumps. The subzero temperatures trigger the body to release a rush of endorphins, a process that can result in an array of potential health and beauty benefits. Cryotherapy can help athletes recover faster after intense sports activities, and reduce pain and inflammation in sore muscles. It also kick-starts collagen production in skin, which can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles for a younger appearance.

Know Before You Go

• You're going to get cold, really cold. The air within the full-body chamber reaches temperatures below -200°F.
• The more skin contact, the more effective it will be. While inside the chamber, clients typically disrobe to their undergarments so the freezing air touches more skin.
• The sessions are short—only 3 minutes.
