District Cryo, Washington, DC

Throughout the three-minute treatment at DistrictCryo, the skin's surface temperature drops to 30 degrees, as you're doused in a steamy ice bath of liquid nitrogen that's cooled to 200 degrees below zero in order to speed up the metabolism and spur collagen production. Some of the results are instant. Most clients experience a rush of endorphins from the cold, as the hyper-cool temperatures stimulate your body, accelerating the delivery of oxygen-rich blood and triggering natural healing processes. Many more of the results are felt later. Clients report a deeper sleep the night of treatment, along with relief from muscle and joint pain. Those with active lifestyles provide resounding testimonials toward the effects of cryotherapy, citing it as a key component to their training, recovery, and performance regimen.
