What Is Whole Body Cryotherapy?
Whole body cryotherapy exposes your skin to extremely cold, dry air (as low as -160°F) for two to three minutes inside a specialized cryotherapy chamber. Unlike an ice bath, there's no water and no lingering wet cold. Your body responds by constricting blood vessels, then flooding your system with oxygen and nutrient-rich blood the moment you step out.
This response has a real medical basis. Cold exposure suppresses inflammatory markers, triggers a release of norepinephrine and endorphins, and activates the body's natural recovery processes. It's the same physiology athletes have used for decades, now available in a controlled, medically supervised setting.
At iCRYO Blakeney, whole body cryotherapy is delivered by trained specialists using a purpose-built chamber designed for consistency and safety. It's one of the fastest and most requested treatments we offer to South Charlotte athletes, professionals, and anyone chasing a natural energy reset. We monitor every session so you get the full benefit of the cold without guesswork.
How it works
Inside a Cryotherapy Chamber Session
A cryotherapy session moves quickly, but a lot happens in those few minutes. Here's what a typical visit looks like from start to finish.
02
Step Into the Chamber
You enter the cryotherapy chamber and stand while cold, dry nitrogen-cooled air surrounds your body. Your specialist stays with you the entire time, and you can step out whenever you're ready.
03
Your Body Responds
Skin temperature drops fast, blood vessels constrict, and blood shifts toward your core to protect vital organs. This triggers the release of anti-inflammatory compounds and cold-shock proteins.
04
Step Out and Recharge
Once oxygenated blood flushes back through your muscles and joints, most guests feel an immediate boost in energy and mood. No shower, no downtime. You're free to go straight back to your day.

02Common Questions
Cryotherapy Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the questions we hear most often from Blakeney and South Charlotte guests before their first cryotherapy session.
What is whole body cryotherapy?
Whole body cryotherapy is a treatment where you stand in a specialized chamber filled with extremely cold, dry air (as low as -160°F) for two to three minutes. It triggers a natural recovery response that can reduce inflammation, ease soreness, and boost energy and mood.
What should I wear during cryotherapy?
You'll wear minimal, dry clothing (undergarments work well) along with the robe, gloves, socks, slippers, and face mask we provide. This protects your extremities and sensitive skin while the rest of your body is exposed to the cold air.
How often should I do cryotherapy?
Most guests see the best results with three to five sessions per week, each lasting just a few minutes. Your specialist can help build a schedule around your recovery, performance, or wellness goals.
Is cryotherapy safe?
Yes, when performed in a controlled, medically supervised setting like iCRYO Blakeney. Our specialists monitor every session and screen guests beforehand to confirm cryotherapy is a safe fit based on health history.
How will I feel after cryotherapy?
Most guests feel an immediate boost in energy and mood as oxygen-rich blood flows back through the body. There's no downtime, no shower needed, and many people head straight back to work or their workout.
