The process for guests from Salgen

How it works!

To make the trip from Salgen worthwhile, here's the essentials about the technology and process: -110 °C, dry air, eddy-current cooling, three minutes. The overview below shows what happens in the body.

Session lasting 3 minutes of dry cold at -110°C

The difference? An extra boost through whole-body cryotherapy with eddy-current cooling (Cyclon)!!

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

Focus: Metabolism & Shape

Boost your metabolism: the cold chamber as support for weight loss in Salgen

In the cold chamber, the body works to warm itself against -110 °C – and burns energy in the process. For guests from Salgen, the chamber is therefore often part of a bigger plan involving exercise, diet and recovery. The cold stimulus activates brown fat tissue, which turns energy directly into heat, and noticeably gets circulation going. A single visit doesn't replace a calorie deficit – but 2 to 3 sessions a week over several weeks set off a metabolic impulse that many describe as more everyday energy and fewer cravings. Guests from Unterallgäu district who come regularly get the best value with the 10-session or 20-session package.

  • Activation of brown fat tissue
  • Increased energy expenditure after the session
  • Firmer skin through improved circulation
  • More motivation for sport and exercise
  • Ideal as part of a change in diet

What the cold can do

Whole-body cryotherapy doesn't work on a single spot but on the whole organism. Guests from Salgen therefore come with very different goals – from post-sport recovery to skin and sleep.

Practical tips for Salgen

How to plan your sessions

Rhythm for Salgen

Guests travelling from Salgen usually schedule two fixed appointments a week – often Tuesday and Friday. This rhythm has proven itself: enough stimulus for adaptation, enough spacing for recovery. In intense phases (competition, training camps, acute complaints), three to four sessions a week are also possible.

Summer or winter?

Whether it's a heatwave or snowfall in Unterallgäu district: the chamber is a constant -110 °C. Especially on hot summer days, guests from Salgen find the three minutes particularly pleasant.

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 Salgen: 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: Stress & Sleep

Winding down after work – cold therapy for guests from Salgen

Constant stress keeps the body on high alert. The cold chamber radically interrupts that pattern: three minutes at -110 °C demand full attention, followed by a deep relaxation that many describe as a "reset". The release of endorphins noticeably lifts mood, while many guests from Salgen report calmer, deeper sleep the night after. Coming from work in Salgen, plan on about an hour in total for travel, the session and the rest period afterwards – it's around 25 minutes each way.

  • An endorphin kick and a clear head
  • Deeper sleep the night after the session
  • Interrupting stress patterns
  • More calm in everyday life
  • Compact: three minutes instead of a long wellness session
