At Cryotherapy (Cryo) Memmingen
How it works!
A cryotherapy (cryo) session follows a fixed protocol: defined temperature, defined duration, defined preparation and follow-up. That standardisation is what makes the stimulus comparable at all.
At Cryotherapy (Cryo) Memmingen your body is exposed to dry cold of up to -110 °C for about three minutes. Our eddy-current cooling (Cyclon) moves the cold air evenly so that it flows around your body.
That may sound extreme at first – but the session itself is short, dry and clearly structured. From your arrival until after the session we guide you through the entire process.

Process
Your session – step by step
The process follows a fixed protocol: dry cold, a defined exposure time and a controlled rewarming phase. These three variables determine how the organism responds to the application.
Arrival & briefing
Arrive relaxed
Before your first session we calmly explain the process and answer your questions. Together we also go through the most important notes for using the cold chamber.
Getting ready
Ready for the cold
For the session you wear swimwear plus a hat, gloves, socks and a mouth-nose cover. Jewellery and piercings are removed or covered accordingly.
Important: your skin should be dry and free of creams or oils.
3 minutes at -110 °C
Now it gets cold.
3 MIN.-110 °CYou enter the cold chamber and spend about three minutes there in dry cold of up to -110 °C.
The Cyclon eddy-current cooling moves the cold air inside the chamber so that it flows evenly around your body.
Step out & feel it
Done. Now feel it.
After just a few minutes the session is already over. You leave the chamber, get dressed and can observe how your body reacts to the intense cold stimulus.
Many people experience a distinct feeling of warmth, freshness or activation right afterwards.
Only 180 seconds
Cold you feel across your whole body.
The session lasts only about three minutes. Because the cold is dry, it feels different from damp winter cold. The eddy-current cooling additionally moves the air inside the chamber.

Good to know
What happens inside your body
Physiologically, three phases take place: vasoconstriction during exposure, centralisation of blood volume and subsequent rewarming with increased perfusion of the periphery.
Session lasting 3 minutes of dry cold at -110°C.
The difference: whole-body cryotherapy with eddy-current cooling (Cyclon) that circulates the cold air evenly around the body.
The cold penetrates about 1mm into the skin and stimulates the nerve endings – including the vagus nerve, which runs along the cervical spine, is positively stimulated by the cold.
The stimulus on the skin travels to the brain and can trigger the positive effects.
Dry cold in general triggers the release of adrenaline and the happiness hormone dopamine, as well as corticoids, for regeneration.
Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides can gradually normalize.
Even after the very first session you feel better, more at ease – a true mood booster. Already inside the cold chamber you can sense something happening in your body, and afterwards you feel reborn – an indescribable tingling on the skin, a feeling of warmth and a wonderful sense of relaxation follow.
Before your appointment
So you're perfectly prepared
Preparation serves a single purpose: dry skin and protected extremities. Moisture on the skin changes heat extraction and is the most common reason for uncomfortable spots.
What to bring
- Hat
- Face mask
- Gloves
- Swimwear
- Socks
Please note
- remove jewellery if possible
- cover piercings accordingly
- tell us about open or sensitive skin areas before the session
Recommendation: 2-3x/week for the fastest possible effect · Don't eat anything 1.5h before and after the session

Protocol
The standardised course of a cryotherapy (cryo) session
The chamber uses eddy-current cooling and dry air. Because dry air transfers heat far less efficiently than water, -110 °C can deliver a very intense stimulus without damaging the skin – provided duration and clothing are right. This is why socks, gloves, headband and mouth cover are mandatory rather than optional.
Exposure lasts up to three minutes. The follow-up matters: light movement afterwards supports reactive perfusion. Series usually work with two to three sessions per week so the stimulus accumulates.
Temperature
-110 °C dry air, eddy-current cooling, no nitrogen mist.
Exposure
Up to three minutes – beginners start shorter and build up.
Series logic
Two to three sessions per week over several weeks for cumulative stimuli.
