Question 1

What is Whole Body Cryotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Whole Body Cryotherapy is a wellness treatment that exposes your entire body to extremely cold, dry air for a short period of time, typically around three minutes. The brief cold exposure is designed to support recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness.

Question 2

How does Whole Body Cryotherapy work?

Accepted Answer

During a Whole Body Cryotherapy session, you step into a chamber cooled with sub-zero cold air, around -160°F. The cold stimulates the autonomic nervous system and causes blood to shift toward your core, where it is enriched with oxygen and nutrients. After the session, this nutrient-rich blood returns to your muscles and joints, supporting recovery and reduced discomfort.

Question 3

What are the benefits of Whole Body Cryotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Clients use Whole Body Cryotherapy to support faster athletic recovery, reduce inflammation and pain, improve joint comfort, boost energy, strengthen the immune system, and promote healthier-looking skin. Individual results vary and the service is not a substitute for medical care.

Question 4

Is Whole Body Cryotherapy safe?

Accepted Answer

At Boca Cryo, Whole Body Cryotherapy uses cold air instead of liquid nitrogen, which eliminates the risk of inert gas asphyxiation. Sessions are brief, monitored, and performed with trained staff, making them generally safe for most healthy individuals. Clients with certain medical conditions should consult their healthcare provider first.

Question 5

How long does a Whole Body Cryotherapy session last?

Accepted Answer

The actual time in the cryotherapy chamber is about three minutes. You should plan around 20 minutes total for check-in, changing, the session itself, and warming up afterward.

Question 6

What does a Whole Body Cryotherapy session feel like?

Accepted Answer

You will feel very cold but the air is dry, which most clients find surprisingly tolerable. Many people describe it as an intense, invigorating chill that quickly fades once they step out and warm up. After the first visit, many clients are eager to get back in.

Question 7

Do I need to shower before or after my treatment?

Accepted Answer

No shower is required before or after your session. Whole Body Cryotherapy at Boca Cryo is completely dry, which makes it easy to fit in before work, after the gym, or before going out.

Question 8

What should I wear during a Whole Body Cryotherapy session?

Accepted Answer

You typically wear minimal clothing such as underwear or a swimsuit, along with protective gear like dry socks, gloves, and coverings for sensitive areas such as ears and mouth. Our staff will provide the necessary protective items and guide you through the process.

Question 9

How many sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

Frequency depends on your goals. Many clients start with two to three sessions per week to support performance, recovery, or discomfort relief, then transition to a maintenance schedule. Some people feel positive changes after their first session, such as improved mood, energy, and flexibility.

Question 10

Who should avoid Whole Body Cryotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Whole Body Cryotherapy is not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe heart disease, or cold-related disorders. Pregnant individuals and those with specific health concerns should get medical clearance before booking a session.

Question 11

Can Whole Body Cryotherapy be combined with other Boca Cryo services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many clients combine Whole Body Cryotherapy with localized cryotherapy, cryo facials, pneumatic compression, red light therapy, infrared sauna, or other recovery services to enhance overall results and wellness.
