What Is Whole Body Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a treatment that uses sub-zero temperatures to promote natural healing and wellness.
Whole Body Cryotherapy (WBC) is a revolutionary wellness treatment that involves briefly exposing your body to extremely cold, dry air in a specialized chamber. During a session in our Artica chamber, the temperature will drop significantly, triggering a powerful, natural physiological response.
This extreme cold stimulates your body to constrict blood vessels, and upon leaving the chamber, your blood vessels dilate. This process helps to flush toxins, reduce systemic inflammation, and enrich your blood with oxygen and anti-inflammatory proteins. The result is a systemic wellness boost that can benefit your entire body, from your muscles and joints to your mind.
Cold & Recovery How Cryotherapy Works
Cryotherapy works by drastically lowering skin temperature and, in whole-body treatments, slightly reducing the core body temperature as well. The cold exposure activates the sympathetic nervous system, leading to a constriction of blood vessels (vasoconstriction). This reduces swelling and slows down nerve signaling, offering quick pain relief.
Once the cold exposure ends, the body rapidly rewarms, prompting vasodilation and increased blood flow to the treated area. This process flushes out toxins, brings oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and supports healing. At the cellular level, cryotherapy helps reduce inflammation, improve mitochondrial function, and increase the release of endorphins.
This process is similar whether you use ice packs, ice baths, cold-water immersion, or advanced cryo equipment. However, the precision and intensity of medical cryotherapy treatments far exceed at-home methods.

Experience the benefits at our Longmont location, where innovative treatments and expert care come together to help you look and feel your best.
Pain Relief & Muscle Recovery
Reduces muscle soreness (DOMS) and provides relief from chronic pain, arthritis, and joint inflammation, helping you recover faster and train harder.
Enhanced Skin Health & Circulation
Improves blood flow, which delivers more oxygen and nutrients to your skin. This can promote collagen production for a healthier, more youthful appearance and may reduce inflammation from conditions like eczema.
Reduced Systemic Inflammation
The core benefit that drives many others. Cryotherapy helps lower inflammation throughout the body, which can alleviate chronic pain and improve overall health.
Improved Sleep & Wellness
Many users report deeper, more restful sleep and an overall sense of well-being as their bodies return to a more balanced state.
Boosted Energy & Mental Clarity
Triggers a rush of endorphins, the body's natural "feel-good" hormones, leading to an immediate mood lift, increased energy, and sharper focus.
Why Choose Institute for Ageless Living?
Located in Longmont, CO, the Institute for Ageless Living is led by Dr. Kirk Mitchell, a leader in evidence-based wellness therapies and medical aesthetics. Our clinic blends advanced technology with compassionate care, providing a holistic approach to aging, healing, and wellness.
Dr. Mitchell and his team craft customized cryotherapy protocols that go beyond generic cold treatments. Whether you're seeking pain relief, skin rejuvenation, or support for a chronic condition, we tailor each session to meet your needs with clinical precision and care.
How Cryotherapy Compares to Other Options
Compared to traditional methods like ice packs or cold-water immersion, cryotherapy offers a more powerful and efficient cold therapy experience. The specialized equipment used in our sessions delivers consistent, controlled temperatures that penetrate deeper and faster, leading to more effective and longer-lasting results for pain and inflammation.
One of the key advantages is convenience. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after a session, as there is no downtime required.
It's also important to distinguish this type of cryotherapy from cryosurgery, a medical procedure performed by doctors to freeze and destroy abnormal tissues, such as warts or some early-stage cancers. The cryotherapy we offer is a non-invasive wellness treatment designed to trigger your body's natural recovery processes.
Who’s It For Ideal Candidates for Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is generally safe for healthy adults of all genders and ages. It's an excellent option for those looking to improve skin appearance, reduce discomfort, or support overall health and wellness.

Looking to accelerate muscle recovery, reduce soreness after workouts, and improve your overall performance.
Someone Seeking Pain Management
Dealing with chronic pain from conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or old injuries, and looking for a non-pharmaceutical way to manage inflammation.

Proactively trying to optimize your health, boost your energy levels, improve your sleep quality, and support your body's natural healing processes.
A Professional with a High-Stress Lifestyle
Looking for a way to combat physical and mental fatigue, boost your mood, and gain a mental edge.
Someone Interested in Skin Rejuvenation
Seeking to reduce systemic inflammation, which can help calm conditions like eczema or psoriasis, and promote healthier, more vibrant skin by boosting circulation and collagen production.
Cryotherapy is not recommended for individuals with severe hypertension, Raynaud's disease, uncontrolled diabetes, cold allergies, open wounds, or those who are pregnant. Always consult a healthcare provider before beginning treatment.
Personalized Plan Your Initial Cryotherapy Consultation in Longmont
Your first visit at the Institute for Ageless Living begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this appointment, we will review your medical history, assess your skin or physical condition, and discuss your personal goals.
We may evaluate any underlying health concerns, skin lesions, or chronic pain conditions to determine whether cryotherapy is appropriate. Based on our findings, we'll create a customized treatment plan that may include other integrative therapies we offer.
Get ready Preparing for Your Cryotherapy Session
To get the most from your treatment, follow these preparation guidelines:
- Avoid applying lotions, oils, or perfumes before your appointment.
- Drink plenty of water the day before and the day of your session.
- Wear dry, loose-fitting clothes. Bring gloves and socks if doing WBC.
- Let us know if you're taking any blood thinners or medications affecting skin sensitivity.
- Schedule sessions in the morning or after workouts for maximum benefits of cryotherapy.
These preparatory steps help ensure a smoother, more effective session.
What To Expect Cryotherapy Session
When you arrive at the Institute for Ageless Living in Longmont, CO, you'll be welcomed by our team and guided to the treatment area.
For whole body cryotherapy, you'll change into protective gear including gloves, socks, and undergarments. Once inside the cryotherapy chamber, dry cold air or liquid nitrogen vapor surrounds your body, quickly lowering skin temperature. You'll stand or rotate slowly while being monitored throughout.
Sessions last 2 to 4 minutes. Afterward, your skin may feel cold and tingly. Most clients experience immediate alertness, mild redness, and invigorated well-being. You can resume normal activity immediately.
Lasting Results How Long Do Cryotherapy Results Last?
The effects of Whole Body Cryotherapy vary based on your goals, session frequency, and individual response. Most clients feel immediate benefits after their first session, such as a mood boost and reduced soreness, which can last for several hours. For more significant, long-term relief from pain and inflammation, consistent use is key. The anti-inflammatory effects of a single session can last for a few days, but sustained results are best achieved with a routine of 2–3 sessions per week. For chronic conditions or athletic recovery, ongoing sessions are recommended to effectively manage symptoms and maintain peak performance.
Clinically Safe Risks and Side Effects of Cryotherapy
Whole Body Cryotherapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment when used properly. Our staff is fully trained to ensure you have a secure and comfortable experience.
Common, temporary side effects are a normal part of the body's response to the cold and may include:
- Redness of the skin (erythema) that fades shortly after the session.
- A tingling or "pins and needles" sensation as your body warms up.
- A temporary, slight increase in blood pressure during the session.
Adverse side effects like frostbite are extremely rare and are prevented by following safety protocols, such as ensuring your body is completely dry and wearing the required protective gear (gloves, socks, and slippers), which we provide for every session.
