What is a Cryosauna?
The JUKA Cryosauna is a state of the art machine that administers whole body cryotherapy. It is a natural, safe therapy. Whole body cryotherapy stimulates the natural response of your body to cold resulting in the reduction of inflammation and swelling. WBC can lead to the reduction in medication needed for acute and chronic pain.
How does this treatment work in just 3 minutes?
All of the benefits are not just happening in the 3 minutes. It takes 3 minutes of this extreme dry cold therapy to trigger the body’s natural responses to begin an accelerated healing process. Whole body Cryotherapy (WBC) can speed up the body’s healing. That’s why so many people find Cryotherapy so beneficial. As we age, your body’s natural healing slows down. Cryotherapy speeds it back up and helps to reduce inflammation at a rapid rate.

How often should I use the Juka Cryosauna to achieve optimal results?
We recommend at least 10 sessions in the first 30 days for optimal results. Some people will need more. If you aren’t sure how many sessions you need, a Renew Cryo employee will be happy to help you customize a plan. After initial treatment plan you will need to maintain your results, so sessions can be cut down to 1-2 times a week or less. If after a month or two, you are ready for another boost, you can start the process over again.

No. The immediate cold impact of the cryotherapy 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.
Should I eat before my cryotherapy session?
Yes, you most definitely can! In fact, many of our clients have reported being able to tolerate the cold much better after having eaten within the past few hours before their session.
How do I feel after the cryosauna?
During each session the body releases endorphins which are hormones that make you feel good and energetic. The effects from each session last at least 6-8 hours, but like any therapy, the more sessions, the better the results. We recommend a month of consistent cryosauna sessions and then maintenance as needed. Consistent use of the cryosauna can extend the benefits for greater lengths of time. Decreased inflammation is experienced. Clients suffering from pain in general will experience relief almost immediately.

Cryosauna sessions will also increase your metabolic rate, burning 500-800 calories that day. Whole body cryotherapy used on a regular basis can help your body reset it’s metabolism.

I am claustrophobic. Can I use whole body cryotherapy?
Yes. Your entire head remains exposed to the room and above the Cryosauna. The door cannot lock and the staff member is there through the entire process until the session has ended.
Do people usually exercise after a treatment?
Yes. Some people exercise right after a WBC session because it will enhance the effects; release of endorphins and adrenaline.
How can I stand the cold?
There is no freezing involved, only the feeling of being cold. This process is simply cold air flowing over the surface of the skin, which in turn, creates the beneficial results. The air is completely dry, making it surprisingly comfortable.
Why do I need socks and gloves?
While in the Juka Cryotherapy Sauna the body pulls the blood away from the extremities and into the core therefore the extremities must be protected. The vessels around the core then constrict, holding the bloodin the core. The body then begins working to protect and boost the vital organs, producing and releasing all kinds of nutrients into the blood. This is why most people notice very little discomfort in their chest, stomach and back area. The body is producing heat as well to protect the core.
