How does cryotherapy work?

Cryotherapy is a whole-body treatment that uses ultra-cold air to trigger your body’s natural healing response. During a session, you’ll stand in a specialized chamber for about 2–3 minutes while nitrogen vapor rapidly cools the skin’s surface. This cold exposure stimulates circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes endorphin release. The result? Improved recovery, reduced pain, and a lasting sense of energy and clarity. At French Med Spa + Health, we offer medical-grade cryotherapy in St. Charles. We use real liquid nitrogen for deeper benefits—far beyond the cold-air machines found at standard wellness studios.

Is cryotherapy safe for everyone?

When administered properly, cryotherapy is considered safe for most people. Trained medical professionals guide our treatments, and we use an open-top chamber design to maximize comfort and safety. However, we may not recommend cryotherapy for clients with severe hypertension, heart conditions, or cold sensitivities. That’s why we begin every treatment plan at French Med Spa + Health with a quick consultation to ensure cryotherapy in St. Charles is right for you.

How many sessions will I need to see results?

The number of sessions needed depends on your goals. Many clients feel refreshed after just one treatment, but getting consistent cryotherapy in St. Charles (2 to 3 times per week) offers the most transformative benefits. At French Med Spa + Health, we’ll help you build a schedule that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle while delivering measurable progress over time.
