Should you choose infrared sauna or cryotherapy in New Orleans?

Choose Infrared Sauna when you want private dry heat, quiet time, and a slower experience. Choose Whole Body Cryotherapy when you want a brief, staff-guided cold-air session. Compare current rates on pricing, then use Schedule an Appointment when you are ready.

Both are general wellness experiences. The practical choice depends on whether you prefer heat or cold, how much time you have, and what feels comfortable to you.

Infrared Sauna vs Cryotherapy in New Orleans: Which Should You Choose?

Choose cryotherapy when you want a brief cold-air experience. Choose sauna when you want a private dry-heat experience and quiet time.

Choose Cryotherapy If You Want

A brief, staff-guided cold-air experience. Whole body cryotherapy is about 3 to 5 minutes in the chamber, in a 10-minute appointment (15 minutes for your first visit, to allow time for preparation and guidance).

Start here: Whole Body Cryotherapy and Localized Cryotherapy.

Choose Infrared Sauna If You Want

A private dry-heat room and a longer break. Choose a 30- or 45-minute appointment based on how much time you want in the room.

Service details: Infrared Sauna.

Can You Combine Them?

You can plan both when appointment availability and suitability allow. Ask staff to arrange both appointments and explain the changeover. If sauna comes before cold, you must be completely dry before entering the chamber. Prefer a seated pressure experience? Compare NormaTec Compression.

Choose by experience and time

Prefer a short cold-air experience? Choose whole body cryotherapy and allow time for preparation as well as the session.

Prefer quiet dry heat? Choose sauna, with 30 or 45 minutes reserved in the room.
