Whole body electric cryotherapy is a form of cryotherapy where the whole body is exposed to very cold temperatures, typically ranging from (-110°F to -180°F), using an electrically cooled cryochamber. The treatment session usually lasts for about 3-6 minutes.

During an electric cryotherapy session, the cryochamber uses electrical cooling mechanisms to rapidly lower the air temperature around the body. This causes the surface temperature of the skin to drop significantly, triggering physiological reactions that can have therapeutic benefits.

Electric cryotherapy and nitrogen cryotherapy are two popular forms of cryotherapy, each offering unique characteristics. Let's start with Sculptology's technology; Electric Cryotherapy: This method utilizes electricity to generate cold temperatures. It uses fresh, oxygenated cold air to target and remove unwanted abnormal body cells. During treatment, the user’s entire body is enclosed in an air tight chamber to ensure consistent temperature exposure. Electric cryotherapy machines are generally safe and eliminate the risk associated with inhaling Nitrogen gases. Nitrogen Gas Cryotherapy: Nitrogen cryotherapy relies on liquid nitrogen jets to create a chilling effect. It utilizes nitrogen-cold air delivered from high powered jets to address unwanted abnormal cells in the body. Cryo-saunas and cryo-chambers powered by liquid nitrogen convert the liquid into a gas, which is then super-cooled and circulated within the chamber or sauna. Nitrogen-powered cryotherapy machines often reach colder temperatures compared to electric models, are more compact, don't cover the whole body, and allow for irregular temperature fluctuations. However, prolonged inhalation of nitrogen gas can pose safety and health risks.

When performed correctly by trained professionals, electric cryotherapy is generally considered safe. However, it’s important to follow guidelines and protocols to minimize risks of health conditions that can pose a risk to the user if not properly disclosed and discussed prior to use.

Electric cryotherapy is not suitable for everyone. Individuals with certain medical conditions such as uncontrolled hypertension, Raynaud’s syndrome, or heart conditions should avoid cryotherapy. Pregnant women and individuals with certain skin conditions may also need to avoid or modify treatment.

Electric cryotherapy is believed to offer several potential benefits, including reduced muscle soreness and inflammation, accelerated recovery from exercise or injury, improved circulation, increased metabolism, and potential pain relief mitigating the need for consuming OTC medications to address minor aches and pains.

Whole-body electric cryotherapy utilizes dry, oxygenated air, which prevents typical reactions associated with cold exposure such as shivering or goosebumps. During the session, the body acclimates to the temperature of the chamber quickly, initiating a chain reaction of systemic responses that allow for healing damaged tissue, soothing sore muscles, reducing inflammation, and allowing for re-oxygenated blood to circulate quickly.
