Question 1

What is cryotherapy, and how does it work?

Cryotherapy chambers typically reach temperatures between -110°C to -160°C (-166°F to -256°F). While these temperatures are extremely cold, cryotherapy sessions are brief (usually 2-3 minutes), and the process is considered safe when conducted by trained professionals.
