The process for guests from Waal
How it works!
The process is identical for all guests – including those from Waal – and deliberately kept simple: arrive, change, a short briefing, three minutes in the chamber, rest afterwards. The technology behind it is a Cyclon eddy-current cooling system that guides dry cold evenly around the body.
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

Duration

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: Sport & Recovery
Recover faster – the cold chamber for athletes from Waal
Anyone in Waal who plays football or handball, cycles, runs or trains with weights knows the problem: there's often too little time for real recovery between two sessions. Three minutes at -110 °C act like a turbo boost for recovery: the extreme dry cold constricts blood vessels, reduces signal transmission in the pain fibres and slows inflammatory processes after intense exertion. Once you step out, the vessels widen again and oxygen-rich blood floods the worked muscles. Many active people from Ostallgäu district schedule the session straight after training or the day after competing – with around 41 minutes' drive from Waal, that fits easily into a weekly routine.

For guests from Waal
What the cold treatment can do
Whole-body cryotherapy doesn't work on a single spot but on the whole organism. Guests from Waal therefore come with very different goals – from post-sport recovery to skin and sleep.

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 Waal
How to plan your sessions
Rhythm for Waal
Bundling trips is worthwhile from Waal: many guests combine the session with shopping, a doctor's appointment or training in Memmingen. That way, the 48 km trip becomes not an extra errand but a fixed part of the weekly rhythm.
Summer or winter?
In winter, the cold chamber is mainly immune and mood training for guests from Waal, while in summer it's a recovery tool after cycling, running and hiking trips. The cold stimulus itself stays identical all year round: -110 °C, dry, three minutes.
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 Waal: 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: Skin & Anti-Aging
Firmer skin and a fresher complexion – Cryotherapy for Waal
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 Waal 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 48 km to travel from Waal, it's easy to plan as a weekly beauty routine.
If you're covering the 48 kilometres from Waal, don't schedule the session right before a deadline: the rest afterwards is part of it.
Typical for Waal: working people, athletes, and those who want to switch off after long days. Many from Ostallgäu district describe a lightness that lasts several hours. Travelling from Waal means well-built roads without chaotic through-town traffic.
- A calming stimulus for flushed skin
- Support for connective tissue
- Combines well with cosmetic treatments
- A fresher, rosier complexion right after the session
