Mentally, Cryotherapy triggers a powerful chain reaction in your brain and nervous system that can lead to elevated mood, mental clarity, reduced anxiety and improved focus. During the treatment, your skin temperature will decrease between 30-45 degrees inside the chamber. Even if you don’t like being cold, this process will rejuvenate your body, skin and mind, and you will leave feeling warmer than when you arrived.
When you exit the Cryotherapy chamber and return to normal room temperature, this oxygen-rich blood moves back through the body. Cryotherapy has been used to reduce inflammation, provide pain relief, and speed up recovery time, as well as many more health benefits.
Unlike traditional Nitrogen Cryotherapy, Whole Body Electric Cryotherapy allows for optimal exposure and has proven safer and more effective than Nitrogen treatments. Our Cryotherapy Chambers are made in the USA and are considered the most powerful and effective units available for the wellness industry.

Cryotherapy delivers a powerful array of physiological and psychological benefits that make it a go-to solution for recovery, performance, and overall wellness. By exposing the body to extreme cold, it helps reduce inflammation and relieve pain, accelerating muscle recovery and enhancing athletic performance. The treatment lowers cortisol levels—your body’s primary stress hormone—while increasing norepinephrine, which sharpens focus and alertness.
Cryotherapy also triggers the release of endorphins, elevating mood and supporting mental health by reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. On a systemic level, it improves circulatory function, boosts immune response, and promotes detoxification by flushing out toxins. Regular sessions have been linked to better sleep quality, increased calorie burn, and visible improvements in skin tone, including reduced appearance of stretch marks and cellulite.
Whether you're seeking relief from a hangover or looking to optimize your physical and emotional well-being, cryotherapy offers a cold, calculated path to feeling your best.

Cryotherapy FAQs
At Baja Beach Wellness, we offer advanced Whole-Body Electric Cryotherapy to help you recover faster, reduce inflammation, and boost overall wellness. If you're new to cryotherapy, this page answers the most common questions our Berks County clients ask so you can feel confident before your first session.
What is cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is a cutting-edge wellness treatment that exposes your body to extremely cold air (around –80°F to –130°F) for 2–3 minutes. This stimulates circulation, reduces inflammation, supports recovery, and boosts endorphins.
What is the difference between whole-body electric cryotherapy and nitrogen cryotherapy?
Whole-body electric cryotherapy and nitrogen cryotherapy both use extreme cold to help reduce inflammation, speed recovery, and boost overall wellness—but the way they cool your body is very different.
Nitrogen cryotherapy (the older method) uses liquid nitrogen gas to create cold air. With nitrogen, the cooling is localized, the chamber is open at the top, and your head typically stays outside the unit. Some clients find the nitrogen vapor harder to breathe around, and the temperature can be less evenly distributed.
Whole-body electric cryotherapy (what we use at Baja Beach Wellness) uses advanced electrically-cooled air circulated evenly around your entire body, including your head. This provides a safer, more consistent, and more effective experience.
Fun Fact: Baja Beach Wellness was one of the first wellness centers in the U.S. to install Trident Cryotherapy’s 3-Fan Whole Body Cryo chambers, some of the most advanced cryotherapy equipment available on the market today.
What makes cryotherapy at Baja Beach Wellness different from cold plunging and other cold therapies?
While cold plunges and ice baths can provide benefits, whole-body cryotherapy at Baja Beach Wellness is a more advanced, consistent, and effective option. Cold plunges use water immersion, which typically cools the skin to around 50°F, while our Trident 3-Fan Whole Body Electric Cryotherapy chambers use subzero, oxygen-rich air to safely and evenly expose your entire body (including the head) to temperatures as low as –130°F for just 2–3 minutes.
This rapid, full-body cooling triggers a stronger physiological response—boosting circulation, releasing endorphins, reducing inflammation, and accelerating recovery—without the discomfort, sanitation concerns, or long soak time of an ice bath. That’s why athletes, high performers, and everyday wellness seekers choose cryotherapy as the next level of cold therapy.

Is cryotherapy safe?
Yes! When performed under proper guidance, cryotherapy is considered safe for most healthy adults. A review published in the NIH’s National Library of Medicine found that whole-body cryotherapy is generally well-tolerated and can be safely integrated into recovery programs.
At Baja Beach Wellness, our trained Wellness Experience Specialists follow strict safety protocols. Sessions are short (just 2–3 minutes) and clients are provided with protective gear such as gloves, socks, and footwear. Those with certain conditions—like pregnancy, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or severe heart disease—should consult their doctor before treatment.
Does Cryotherapy really work?
Yes. Whole-body cryotherapy has been shown in clinical studies to reduce inflammation, improve recovery, and boost overall wellness. For example, research published in the European Journal of Medical Research highlighted both the benefits and safety considerations of cryotherapy when administered properly. Other studies, like one in Frontiers in Physiology, have found whole-body cryotherapy can support athletic recovery, reduce soreness, and stimulate faster healing compared to passive rest.
At Baja Beach Wellness, we use Trident 3-Fan Whole Body Electric Cryotherapy chambers—some of the most advanced systems in the U.S.—to ensure consistent, full-body results that are both safe and effective.
What does a cryotherapy session feel like?
Most clients describe it as a refreshing “cold rush”. The treatment is short (just a few minutes) and your body quickly warms back up after stepping out. Many people feel energized right away.
How many cryotherapy sessions do I need?
Results vary by person and wellness goals. Some feel benefits after just one session, while others do 2–3 sessions per week for consistent recovery, weight management, and performance enhancement.
How much does cryotherapy cost?
Cryotherapy is available as part of our membership plans or as a single session. Many clients choose memberships for the best value.
