The process for guests from Illmensee
How it works!
Before you set off from Illmensee, it's worth looking at how it works: the session itself takes just three minutes, with changing, a briefing and a short rest period around it. On site we explain every step in person – no one steps into the chamber unprepared.
Getting ready
Change & get ready
Swimwear, hat, gloves, socks and a face mask – your skin stays dry and free of creams.
3 minutes at -110 °C
Into the cold
Dry cold down to -110 °C, evenly distributed by our eddy-current cooling (Cyclon).
Step out & feel it
Done. Now feel it.
Warmth, tingling, freshness: many feel the effect right after the very first session.
Chamber temperature
-110 °C
Duration
03:00 MIN
Good to know
Session lasting 3 minutes of dry cold at -110°C.
The difference: whole-body cryotherapy with eddy-current cooling (Cyclon) that circulates the cold air evenly around the body.
The cold penetrates about 1mm into the skin and stimulates the nerve endings – including the vagus nerve, which runs along the cervical spine, is positively stimulated by the cold.
The stimulus on the skin travels to the brain and can trigger the positive effects.
Dry cold in general triggers the release of adrenaline and the happiness hormone dopamine, as well as corticoids, for regeneration.
Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides can gradually normalize.
Even after the very first session you feel better, more at ease – a true mood booster. Already inside the cold chamber you can sense something happening in your body, and afterwards you feel reborn – an indescribable tingling on the skin, a feeling of warmth and a wonderful sense of relaxation follow.
You are professionally supervised throughout the session: we discuss your health situation beforehand, explain the process and stay in visual and verbal contact. We recommend 2–3 sessions per week.
Focus: Skin & Anti-Aging
Firmer skin and a fresher complexion – Cryotherapy for Illmensee
Cold is a classic tool in cosmetics – in the whole-body cold chamber, it works on the entire surface of the skin. The strong stimulus briefly draws blood towards the body's core, after which it flows back to the periphery and supplies the skin with oxygen and nutrients. Guests from Illmensee often report a fresher complexion, a firmer feel to the skin and a calmer, less flushed appearance. The cool impulse can also feel pleasant on blemish-prone or inflammation-prone skin. Combined with drinking enough water and a regular skincare routine, this creates a visible effect – with around 78 km to travel from Illmensee, it's easy to plan as a weekly beauty routine.
It's 78 kilometres from Illmensee to Kempterstrasse 25 in Memmingen, a drive of about 66 minutes über die B312 bzw. A7 Richtung Memmingen. Anyone coming regularly from Illmensee saves noticeably with a package. Guests from Illmensee usually name sleep quality and stress relief as their reason. For working people from Illmensee, the session fits nicely into an extended lunch break. Für Illmensee ist Memmingen der nächstgelegene Standort mit einer Ganzkörperkältekammer bei -110 °C. That makes the short trip to Memmingen doubly worthwhile.
For Illmensee that means: booking twice a week, most people notice the difference by the third week – with 66 minutes' travel the effort stays manageable.
- Support for connective tissue
- Combines well with cosmetic treatments
- A fresher, rosier complexion right after the session

Your visit
How a visit at Kempterstraße runs
We schedule every appointment so that you can arrive calmly. On a first visit we take extra time for a short conversation, answer open questions and show you the chamber before you step in. You then decide whether to use the full three minutes.
During the session one of us stays in visual contact and talks to you through the intercom. Afterwards we recommend movement – a few minutes on the bike or a short walk is enough to get your circulation going again.
Arriving
About ten minutes early – changing room, short briefing, questions answered.
In the chamber
Up to three minutes, stoppable at any time, always supervised.
Afterwards
Movement, a warm drink and a short chat about how it felt.
Practical tips for Illmensee
How to plan your sessions
Rhythm for Illmensee
Bundling trips is worthwhile from Illmensee: many guests combine the session with shopping, a doctor's appointment or training in Memmingen. That way, the 78 km trip becomes not an extra errand but a fixed part of the weekly rhythm.
Summer or winter?
Many people in Illmensee start a series in autumn to get through the infection season well, and continue in spring for reasons of shape and skin. The chamber works regardless of weather and season.
Cold Chamber, ice bath or sauna?
Ice bath, cold shower or cold chamber? Water conducts heat roughly 25 times faster than air – an ice bath at 4 °C therefore feels harsher than -110 °C dry air. The key difference for guests from Illmensee: in the chamber, only the outermost layer of skin is cooled extremely, while the body's core stays warm. That makes the session safe, short and noticeably more pleasant than jumping into the river Iller.
Focus: Longevity
Longevity in Illmensee: cold as a building block for healthy ageing
Longevity isn't just about getting older, it's about staying healthy and capable for longer. Short, strong stimuli – heat, cold, exercise, fasting – are among the tools that keep the body adaptable. Whole-body cryotherapy delivers exactly that kind of stimulus in concentrated form: three minutes, the whole body, a measurable circulatory response. For people from Illmensee who deliberately invest in their healthspan, the chamber is therefore often the weekly fixed point alongside strength and endurance training. With around 78 km to travel from Illmensee, the effort stays manageable – and the monthly unlimited pass makes several sessions a month easy to plan too.
