Preparation and equipment

Before entering the cold chamber, fill out an information sheet and hand it to the therapist on site. For your stay in the cold chamber, dress in swimwear (e.g. swimming trunks, swimsuit or bikini) or underwear and also wear a face mask, gloves, socks and sturdy shoes(your own or bring your own) as well as headphones. We will provide you with gloves and face masks. You will listen to music through the headphones provided and receive instructions and timings to help you through the treatment.

Entering and behavior in the cold chamber 

The application begins in an antechamber with a temperature of -40 °C. You stay here for one minute. You then move on to the main chamber where the temperature is -110 °C. The dwell time is 3 minutes. Once in the main chamber, breathe in and out calmly and move slowly back and forth or gently tap your arms and thighs. You then return to the antechamber and stay there for another minute before leaving the cold chamber. Cold therapy is carried out under constant supervision. Both chambers have large windows that allow permanent visual contact with our therapists. The doors of the cold chamber can be opened from the inside as well as from the outside. You have the option of interrupting the treatment and leaving the cold chamber at any time. 

The human body is able to withstand extreme cold of -110 °C for short periods of time - usually between two and four minutes. As soon as you enter the cold chamber, your body immediately begins to react to the low temperature. This natural reaction of the body triggers a number of positive effects, which are the reason for the therapeutic effect of cold therapy. The extremely dry air in the whole-body cold chamber is perceived as cold but not unpleasant and becomes a particularly refreshing and invigorating experience.

• Two-chamber system for constant cold:
  The ArctiSync cold chamber is equipped with a unique two-chamber system. A pre-chamber allows the cold air to enter the main chamber without being able to escape. This keeps the temperature in the main chamber constant at -110 °C.
• Space for two people:
  Due to its size, the cold chamber can be used by up to two people at the same time. This is ideal for applications that are to be carried out in parallel or in company.
• Pleasant temperature distribution thanks to innovative cold convection:
  The ArctiSync cold chamber has a physically homogeneous temperature distribution. Thanks to the special cold convection technology, which distributes the cold evenly and without draughts, users experience pleasant and even cold from head to toe.
• Energy efficiency and environmentally friendly cooling technology without harmful coolants
  ArctiSync's patented cooling technology makes the coldroom extremely energy efficient. Thanks to the reduced power and energy consumption, the cold chamber is not only cost-saving but also environmentally friendly. ArctiSync's cold chamber uses a natural cooling method and completely dispenses with the use of environmentally harmful refrigerants such as R23, R508B or R508. This not only protects the environment, but also supports the safety and health of users.

Long-term and proven benefits for health and well-being are achieved with regular cold application. In general, a maximum of three cold treatments per week is recommended. However, a higher number of treatments is possible after prior medical clarification and sometimes also makes sense depending on the treatment objective (e.g. for pain therapy, sports regeneration, etc.).

Swimwear (without metallic parts) or underwear is worn in the cold chamber. Socks, sturdy shoes and gloves are essential. Face masks and headphones (as ear protection) are provided. A cap or headband can also be worn for sensitive ears.

Before entering, ensure that there are no metallic parts on the body, for example clothing or piercings, etc. Contact lenses, glasses and hearing aids must also be removed before use. Watches and jewelry of any kind must be removed before entering the chamber. Please avoid applying cream or shaving the skin before the treatment.

For a cold chamber to be fully effective, a temperature of -110 °C is required. Only at this extreme cold can the skin surface temperature be quickly reduced to -5 °C, releasing the maximum anti-inflammatory messenger substances. These effects only occur at a constant treatment temperature of -100 °C to -110 °C. In chambers with higher temperatures (e.g. -60 °C or -80 °C), cold is also felt after a longer period of time, but without the particular health benefits of these low temperatures.

Positive effects on health and well-being can be felt after the very first visit. Users experience the natural effect both during their stay in the chamber and through the stimulated metabolic activity afterwards. 50 positive effects on the body are now known from the use of cold therapy.
