Cryo180, Richardson

Hot and cold each have a purpose at Cryo180. During whole-body cryotherapy sessions, patrons are exposed to extremely cold temperatures—somewhere between -238 and -274 degrees Fahrenheit—for just under three minutes. This brief exposure triggers several key reactions throughout the body: it restores some of the skin's natural elasticity, bolsters immune system and metabolic function, and causes the sort of anti-inflammatory response that can alleviate chronic joint pain. On the other end of the temperature spectrum, the studio's private, jade infrared sauna pods shower clients with a combination of near- and far-infrared rays while soft music and soothing aromatherapy help them to relax. These infrared rays deliver heat deep beneath the surface of the skin, improving circulation throughout the body and stimulating collagen production. And, just like with cryotherapy, the sauna sessions can also help relieve aches by triggering an anti-inflammatory response and by literally melting tension so it may be safely mopped away.
