Whole Body Cryotherapy is very well tolerated and has minimal risks.

Side effects may include:

• Fluctuations in blood pressure during the treatment by up to 10 points systolically (this effect reverses after the end of the procedure, as peripheral circulation returns to normal)
• Allergic reaction to extreme cold (rare), redness, and skin burn (the result of moisture on the body).
• Heart rate will increase during cryotherapy approximating that experienced during moderate exercise.
• Individuals who are cleared for moderate exercise by their physicians are candidates for whole body cryotherapy treatment.
