Cryotherapy

There’s a calmness about feeling immersed in the cold, and with cryotherapy, many people enjoy making it part of their regular wellness routine.

From professional athletes to wellness enthusiasts, cryotherapy has become an increasingly popular form of cold exposure in Melbourne and around the world. Unlike traditional cold-water immersion, whole-body cryotherapy uses extremely cold air for a short period of time, providing an alternative cold exposure experience without the need for ice or water.

Originating from the Greek word kryos, meaning cold, and therapeia, referring to treatment, cryotherapy is the practice of exposing the body to very low temperatures. This technique dates back to the seventeenth century but gained modern prominence in the late 1970s in Japan, where researchers began investigating its use in clinical settings.

Since then, cryotherapy has become widely recognised and is now used in a variety of settings, including sports, recovery and wellness. Research into cryotherapy continues to evolve, and individual experiences and responses may vary.

Cryotherapy involves exposing the body to extremely cold air for approximately three minutes in a controlled environment. At SuperYoung, we’re bringing whole-body cryotherapy to Melbourne as part of our range of wellness experiences.

Our cryotherapy chamber uses advanced electric cooling technology to safely cool the air to temperatures as low as -115°C, delivering a comfortable, dry-cold experience designed for short treatment sessions under staff supervision.

There are numerous benefits when it comes to cold therapy. In Melbourne, Super Young is your go-to to feel the difference first-hand.

Physical Health Enhancements

• Reduced Inflammation: By significantly lowering the body’s temperature, regular sessions in our cryotherapy chamber in Melbourne can help reduce inflammation, a common issue following intense physical activities.
• Pain Relief: It is particularly effective in alleviating muscle soreness, facilitating quicker rehabilitation from injuries with the right wellness plan in place. Jagim suggests cold therapy may help after intense training sessions or during periods of back-to-back competitions. However, expert guidance is needed when making it a routine to ensure the perfect timing for optimal effectiveness.
• Skin Health Improvement: Exposure to cold temperatures with our cryotherapy in Melbourne may enhance skin tone and elasticity. A board-certified cosmetic dermatologist explains in a Forbes article that intense cold temperatures help tighten the skin and pores by constricting blood flow to the face. This can give your skin a more youthful, vibrant look.

Mental Health Advantages

• Stress Reduction: Exposure to extreme cold lowers cortisol, the stress hormone, and releases endorphins as a countermeasure, the body's natural mood elevators, which decrease stress levels and elevate mood.
• Improved Sleep Patterns: If you’re struggling with disturbed sleep, our cryo in Melbourne may help with sleep quality. Athletes have experienced a 15% improvement in sleep along with elevated moods and relaxation. Studies have also found that the alleviation of pain that comes with cryotherapy offers more restful sleep.
• Increased Energy Levels: After a session of cold therapy in Melbourne with us, you may experience a significant boost in energy, similar to the refreshing feeling of a cold shower.
