How often should you do cryotherapy?
Short answer: there is no single proven schedule for general wellness. Most people start with one session and then pick a rhythm they can keep, such as once a week, or a few times a week during heavy training. In published studies, athletes often did whole body cryotherapy daily for a short block, for example once a day for 5 days, or a series of 10 to 20 sessions. Whole body cryotherapy sessions at NOLA Chill last 3 to 5 minutes in the electric Trident chamber at about −110°F.
New to NOLA Chill? Your first Whole Body Cryotherapy session is $25 at 6045 Magazine St in Uptown New Orleans, and staff guides you through it. Book your $25 first visit.
How often to book depends on why you are coming, how you respond, and whether a clinician has given you guidance. Research protocols vary, and they do not establish one universal frequency for general wellness.
Start with one session
If you are new to cryotherapy, start with one session and pay attention to your comfort and how you feel afterward. Our team explains the process, screens for cold-related concerns, and can help you compare the booking options without prescribing a medical schedule. For new clients, that first full body cryotherapy visit in Uptown New Orleans is $25.
For a regular wellness or training routine
Some clients book occasionally, while others choose a repeatable weekly or monthly routine because they enjoy the experience or want it to fit around training. Evidence for recovery outcomes is mixed, so frequency should be treated as a personal routine choice rather than a guaranteed-results formula.
For pain, injury, swelling, surgery, or a health condition
Ask your clinician before booking. NOLA Chill provides general wellness services and does not diagnose conditions, treat injuries, or prescribe a cryotherapy protocol. Do not use an online frequency guide as a substitute for medical advice.
Can you do cryotherapy every day?
Some people do, for a stretch. Research protocols often use daily sessions for 5 to 20 days (2017 review in Frontiers in Physiology), and NOLA Chill’s Chillest membership allows daily visits. Daily use is not right for everyone, though. Health history, medications, circulation concerns, pregnancy and recent surgery can all change the answer. Staff screen every client, and if you have a health condition, ask a qualified clinician before booking frequent sessions.

Frequently asked questions
Can you do cryotherapy every day?
Some people do for a short block, and research protocols often use daily sessions for 5 to 20 days. It is not right for everyone. Staff screen every client, and people with health conditions should ask their doctor first.
How many cryotherapy sessions does it take?
There is no set number. Studies in athletes have used 5 to 20 sessions, and some researchers suggest about 20 sessions for the body to adapt. For general wellness, try a few sessions and decide whether you want to keep going.
How often should a beginner do cryotherapy?
Start with one staff-guided session. There is no universal beginner schedule, so choose any repeat visit based on comfort, preference, and professional guidance when relevant.
Does more frequent cryotherapy guarantee better results?
No. Research protocols and outcomes vary, and more sessions do not guarantee a particular result.
Is there a standard cryotherapy schedule for everyone?
No. Research protocols vary and do not establish one frequency for general wellness. Ask a qualified clinician before frequent use if you have an injury, recent surgery, a health condition, or another concern.
