The ideal temperature to achieve results during whole body cryotherapy<\/a> (WBC) is -110\u00b0 Celsius. And yet, you\u2019ve probably seen pictures of whole body cryotherapy\u00a0equipment showing temperatures as low as -150\u00b0 Celsius or you\u2019ve read articles touting temperatures as low as -284\u00b0 Fahrenheit, which would be -175\u00b0 Celsius. Unbelievable that someone could withstand these temperatures, much less benefit from them, right?<\/p>\n

Well, yeah, that\u2019s right: a person could not withstand, let alone benefit from exposure to temperatures THAT cold.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the real deal? What are these -150\u00b0 and -175\u00b0 Celsius temperatures?<\/p>\n

These temperatures are the temperatures of the nitrogen gas cooling the cryosauna. Think about it this way: You have your air conditioning set at 72\u00b0. The cold air coming into your room to cool to 72\u00b0 needs to be colder than 72\u00b0.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s think about a cryosauna. The liquid nitrogen is heated and then enters the cryosauna. Temperature readings of -150\u00b0 and -175\u00b0 Celsius are like the temperature of the air cooling your room: the nitrogen gas must be colder than the temperature you want to reach inside the Cryosauna<\/p>\n

So, how do you know if you are at -110\u00b0 Celsius? You need a temperature reading WITHIN the Cryosauna.<\/p>\n

The Impact Cryosauna measures the temperature in two<\/em> places. First, it measures the nitrogen gas cooling the cryosauna and it is typically set around -185\u00b0 Celsius. Second, it measures the temperature within the cryosauna at about hip height. And this is the true<\/em> temperature of your whole body cryotherapy experience<\/a>!<\/p>\n

So, when you go to get your chill on, look for one of the Impact Cryotherapy locations<\/a> and enjoy the true experience, not the myth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ideal temperature to achieve results during whole body cryotherapy (WBC) is -110\u00b0 Celsius.
