Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy at Chill
The flagship treatment that started it all — reimagined for whole-body wellnessCryotherapy is the brief, controlled application of extremely cold temperature to the skin — triggering a cascade of powerful biological responses that reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, boost metabolism and elevate mood. It is the treatment at the heart of ChillRx, and the reason thousands of clients return week after week.
We offer three forms of cryotherapy to suit your goals: Whole Body Cryotherapy for a full systemic response, Local Cryotherapy for targeted pain and injury treatment, and our CryoFacial for skin rejuvenation, collagen stimulation and a remarkable natural glow.
First-time visit from just $16 — experience the chill for yourself.
11 Benefits in 3 Minutes
Step into our Mecotec Cryo One+ chamber and trigger a full-body biological response that burns fat, reduces inflammation, releases endorphins and accelerates recovery — all before your morning coffee.
The extreme cold forces your body to work hard to reheat itself, burning 500–800 calories per session. Regular sessions support sustained metabolic acceleration even at rest.
Vasoconstriction during the session dramatically reduces inflammation in tissue, muscles and joints — providing relief that lasts hours and accumulates with regular treatment.
Vasodilation after the session floods tissues with fresh, oxygenated blood — dramatically reducing recovery time from exercise, injury or surgery. A favourite of elite athletes worldwide.
The session triggers the release of norepinephrine, adrenaline and endorphins — producing a natural euphoric response that lifts mood, reduces anxiety and boosts energy that lasts for hours.
The fight-or-flight response improves cardiovascular function — blood is shunted to the core during the session and redistributed throughout the body on exit, improving overall circulation and oxygenation.
Regular cryotherapy sessions are associated with improved sleep quality, reduced skin inflammation, detoxification of the liver and lymph system, and a stronger, more responsive immune system.
What Happens in the Chamber
You enter the Mecotec chamber. Liquid nitrogen chills the air to –240°F, exposing your skin to the most intense cold your body has ever experienced — safely.
Your body's survival response activates. Blood rushes from extremities to the core (vasoconstriction), metabolism surges to generate heat and adrenaline floods the system.
Norepinephrine, adrenaline and endorphins are released — reducing pain, elevating mood, stimulating the immune system and producing a natural energy boost.
You exit after 3 minutes. Vasodilation occurs — fresh, oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood circulates throughout the body, reducing inflammation and accelerating healing.
Local Cryotherapy & Spot Treatment
Local cryotherapy applies –240°F chilled air vapor to a specific area of the body for 3–5 minutes — delivering all the anti-inflammatory and healing benefits of whole body cryotherapy directly where you need them most. It is more efficient, more powerful and significantly more comfortable than traditional icing.
Perfect for a troublesome knee, a tight shoulder, a strained back or any area of chronic pain or inflammation. Local cryo can be used on its own or combined with whole body cryotherapy to treat problem areas both from the inside out and the outside in simultaneously.
- Reduces pain, inflammation and swelling in specific targeted areas
- Faster and more effective than traditional ice packs or ice baths
- May reduce cellulite and localised fat deposits
- Ideal for post-surgical recovery and chronic injury management
- Can be combined with WBC for enhanced, dual-direction treatment
CryoFacial — Collagen, Glow & Clarity
The CryoFacial applies a fine mist of –240°F air vapor to the face, neck, chest and/or scalp — stimulating collagen production, reducing pore size, improving skin tone and delivering a natural radiance that clients describe as looking like they've had 8 hours of sleep and a professional facial.
Unlike heat-based facials, the cold triggers a vascular response that dramatically increases blood flow to the surface of the skin on exit — flooding it with oxygen, nutrients and fresh collagen-building resources. The result is firmer, tighter, more luminous skin with measurable reductions in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Stimulates collagen production for firmer, more elastic skin
- Reduces pore size and smooths skin texture
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves acne and may reduce superficial scarring
- Beneficial for psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema
- Enhances blood flow and circulation for natural, lasting glow
- Can be applied to the scalp to stimulate hair follicle health
The Mecotec Cryo One+
ChillRx uses the Mecotec Cryo One+ — a professional whole-body cryotherapy chamber that represents the gold standard in clinical cryotherapy equipment. Unlike open-top cryosaunas where the head remains outside the chamber, the Mecotec is a fully enclosed walk-in chamber with separate head cooling, ensuring the entire body — including the face and scalp — receives uniform treatment.
The Mecotec's closed-system design also means the temperature is consistent and precisely controlled throughout the session, with no hot spots or uneven exposure. This makes the treatment both more effective and more comfortable than open-top alternatives.
- Full-body enclosed chamber — head included
- Electronically controlled, consistent –240°F temperature
- Nitrogen vapour system — dry cold, no moisture
- Medical-grade safety protocols built in
