How much does a Cryotherapy chamber cost?

When considering investing in a cryotherapy chamber, there are many things to consider but one of most common questions is how much does a chamber cost? There are quite a few factors that can influence the cost of a cryotherapy chamber but the main one to consider is what kind of chamber you&#;re looking for. For this case we will explore the two main options on the market for whole-body cryotherapy, a nitrogen chamber and an electric chamber. Typically, you will spend more up front with an electric chamber, but the overall cost of ownership will be much higher with a nitrogen cryo system due to the fixed costs of nitrogen. Overall cost of ownership is actually a much more meaningful question when considering cost of a cryotherapy machine and one that can really help to calculate ROI (Return on Investment)

To put it simply, an electric chamber is ran using the power of electricity to cool the chamber and nitrogen is ran using liquid nitrogen to create the cool temperature. The upfront costs of these two types of chambers are usually significantly different. A nitrogen chamber can cost less upfront, averaging around $50,000+ as a rough estimate. Where an electric chamber starting cost is $90,000 and until recently averaged much higher around $180,000. A few important things to note, is while the cost of the nitrogen chamber is much lower, there are also operating costs to consider. With the nitrogen chamber comes the cost of the liquid nitrogen to run the chamber. Nitrogen cryo systems come with fixed costs per session and can significantly negatively affect profit margin. Keep in mind the cost of nitrogen will be an added expense for every session as long as you are operating the chamber. The electric chamber has a higher upfront cost but will cost you much less to run as you only need to consider the additional cost to your electrical bill, which is usually less than $20/day based on 10 hours of daily use of the chamber.There is no true fixed cost per session associated with electric cryotherapy chambers so it allows for easy scalability and increased profit margins as you grow.

1. Learn How Cryotherapy Machines Function

Cryotherapy machines work to produce dry cold air that can be pushed around users to experience various benefits.

Precision in temperature control is paramount for safe and effective cryotherapy sessions. Contrary to popular belief, experiencing discomfort or pain during a session isn&#;t a reliable indicator of its effectiveness. This is because pain receptors lie deeper within the skin compared to cold receptors, which cease detecting temperatures slightly above freezing at 32°F (0°C). Therefore, assessing treatment success based on pain or discomfort is misleading.

The measure of a successful cryotherapy session lies in carefully reducing skin temperature, typically by 10%, 30%, or 50%.

The key to a successful cryotherapy session is gradually lowering the skin temperature, usually by 10%, 30%, or 50%. Yet, how each person responds to cold varies a lot, not just between individuals but also in different parts of the body. This is why the best machines can target different areas of the body with different temperature in real time [Book a consultation with me to learn more].

2. Discover the Different Types of Machines (the Big Picture)

Before diving into the world of cryotherapy machines, let&#;s first explore the different types available:

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Rejuvelab.

By Reach:

  • Localized Cryo Machines: These machines focus cool air on specific areas of the body, ideal for targeted relief or treatment.
  • Whole-Body Cryotherapy Machines: A whole-body cryotherapy machine looks like 3/4 of a fridge from the future where you stand tall, poke your head out of the top, and wait for 3 minutes.
  • Full-Body Cryotherapy Chambers: These look like a small room where the user is fully inside the machine, including their head &#; like a sauna, but cold instead of hot.

By Cooling Technology:

  • Electric: These machines utilize electricity to generate cold air, offering convenient operation and temperature control.
  • Nitrogen: These machines rely on liquid nitrogen for their cooling power, reaching potentially lower temperatures but requiring additional handling and maintenance.

In the next sections, we&#;ll delve into choosing the best option for your needs.

3. Choose Between Localized and Body Cryotherapy Machines

Body and localized cryotherapy offer very different experiences, cater to different needs, and come with varying costs.

Body Cryotherapy

Whole and full body cryotherapy machines are like giant walk-in freezers that can plunge your entire body into sub-zero temperatures. The intense cold is known to help with muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and leave you feeling energized. These machines are designed to give you a full-body deep freeze, and they&#;re a great choice for people who want a powerful and invigorating treatment.

Whole-body and full-body cryotherapy machines typically cost between $30,000 and $280,000. You&#;ll often find them in wellness centers, sports facilities, and dedicated cryotherapy clinics.

Localized Cryotherapy Machines

Localized cryotherapy machines, on the other hand, target specific areas of the body that need attention. They deliver a more gentle and personalized treatment, focusing on localized concerns without subjecting the entire body to extreme cold.

If you&#;re looking for a targeted approach to address specific areas of pain or inflammation, localized cryotherapy is a good option. Instead of stepping into a chamber, you can receive treatment directly on the problem area. Localized cryotherapy machines can provide relief for sore joints, aching muscles, and nagging injuries.

Localized cryotherapy machines are typically more affordable than whole-body machines, with prices starting at around $7,500.

4. Weigh in the Pros & Cons of Electric vs Nitrogen Cryo Machines.

Choosing between electric and nitrogen doesn&#;t matter for localized cryotherapy machines as they are fairly similar in terms of pricing and efficiency. But when it comes to whole-body and full-body machines, the decision ultimately boils down to two key factors: the ability to tailor the temperature to individual users and, of course, budget.

We like to distinguish 3 types of machines:

  • Nitrogen machines (including hybrid machines)
  • Electric with active cooling
  • Electric without active cooling

Nitrogen Cryo Machines

Nitrogen cryo machines deliver a powerful blast of cold, reaching temperatures as low as -196°C. While this extreme cold might seem appealing, maintaining precise temperature control can be challenging due to the rapid expansion of nitrogen gas within these machines. Additionally, managing the nitrogen supply, often stored in large 220-liter tanks, can be labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Pros:

  • Rapid cooldown
  • Starting at around $30,000

Cons:

  • Requires sourcing and managing nitrogen supply
  • Temperature control can be tricky

Electric Cryo Machines with Active Cooling

Electric machines with active cooling take a different approach, offering real-time temperature adjustment based on the user&#;s skin temperature. They create a bone-chilling experience by chilling the chamber to around -4°F (-20°C)and utilizing powerful blowers to deliver the sensation of cold.

Pros:

  • Gold standard in session quality
  • Cools down fairly quickly
  • Can be self-operated
  • Very safe
  • Low running cost

Cons:

  • Costs between $80,000 to $100,000

Electric Cryo Machines without Active Cooling

Designed specifically for businesses or teams accommodating multiple users simultaneously, electric machines without active cooling maintain a stable temperature range, usually around -130°F to -166°F (-90°C to -110°C). They offer a highly safe environment for users and can handle multiple individuals during a single session. However, they come with their own set of challenges, including a complex installation process, lengthy cooldown times, and high reliance on the manufacturer for repairs and maintenance.

Pros:

  • Very safe
  • Accommodate multiple users at the same time
  • Can be self-operated

Cons:

  • Hard to install
  • Extreme dependability on the manufacturer
  • Take a long time to cool down
  • Mid-high running cost
  • Cost between $120,000 to $260,000

5. Set Clear Expectations Based on Your Budget
