CRYOTHERAPY
WHAT’S THE HACK?
Imagine a vertical tanning booth, where instead of being sprayed with fake tan, you’re covered in a freezing-cold grey mist. It’s liquid nitrogen and the temperature can reach as low as -130°C – and you’re expected to stand in there for up to three minutes. It’s a dry therapy, though, so no need to worry about getting wet, removing make-up or catching a cold.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
A lot. The benefits are said to outweigh the icy temperatures by boosting the body’s recovery times, shaking off aches and pains, triggering endorphins, stimulating collagen production(hello, skin-tightening) and increasing metabolism. One key factor is that cold exposure can also decrease chronic inflammation, which has been shown to lengthen telomeres (protective strands on your DNA) – the longer they are, the longer your lifespan is said to be.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Clinics have now hit the UK and LondonCryo (Londoncryo.com) offers whole body sessions from £90.
