Choose whole body cryotherapy if you want cold exposure across the body inside a chamber. Choose localized cryotherapy if you prefer staff-guided cold air from the XCryo machine in a private treatment room, directed at one selected area.
Both formats are available at NOLA Chill. Compare the experience, price, and staff screening requirements before choosing a session. Individual experiences vary.
| Service | Cold exposure | Regular single session | Choose a booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole Body Cryotherapy | Cold air across the body inside an electric chamber, with staff present. | $50 | Book whole body cryotherapy |
| Localized Cryotherapy | The XCryo machine directs cold air at one selected area in a private treatment room. | $35 | Book localized cryotherapy |
First whole body visit: Eligible new clients can book their first Whole Body Cryotherapy session for $25. This offer applies only to first whole body cryotherapy; the regular localized single-session price is $35. Check the current pricing and booking terms before your visit.
Choose the chamber format
A whole body session may suit you if you want a brief cold-air experience inside a chamber with staff present. This format exposes the body to cold instead of focusing only on one requested area. NOLA Chill does not promise pain relief or faster recovery.
The whole body cold-air exposure usually lasts 3 to 5 minutes. That is time in the chamber, not the total visit length; check-in, preparation, and staff screening take additional time.
Choose focused cold air
Localized cryotherapy uses the XCryo machine in a private treatment room to direct cold air at one selected area. The same machine is also used for CryoFacials. Common requested areas include knees, shoulders, calves, ankles, and the lower back. Staff reviews the area, skin condition, and comfort before and during the session.
A painful or inflamed joint, tendon, or muscle is not enough information to select a wellness session. A new injury, severe pain or swelling, difficulty bearing weight, or symptoms that persist or worsen need medical evaluation. After an injury or surgery, ask your treating clinician whether this specific cold-air service is appropriate before booking.
How to Choose Between Them
Start with the experience you want: cold exposure across the body in a chamber, or focused cold air from the XCryo machine in a private treatment room, directed at one requested area. Neither format diagnoses the cause of soreness or replaces medical care.
If you are unsure, ask staff to explain the two formats, screening, and current appointment options. You can choose a single session without a membership. If your main concern is an injury or unexplained symptoms, seek medical guidance before choosing a wellness service.
Why It Helps to Have Both at One Place
NOLA Chill offers both services, so you do not have to commit to the wrong recovery path long term. You can start with the service that fits best now, then adjust later if your needs change. If you want to compare the cost first, review pricing. If you already know which one you want, use the schedule page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is whole body cryotherapy better for general soreness?
Whole body cryotherapy is the chamber option for people who want cold exposure across the body. It is a wellness experience; NOLA Chill does not promise relief of general soreness or treatment of an injury.
Is localized cryotherapy better for one problem area?
Localized cryotherapy uses the XCryo machine in a private treatment room to direct cold air at one selected area. It may fit someone who prefers that focused experience after staff screening. New, severe, persistent, or unexplained pain, swelling after an injury, or a suspected injury calls for medical guidance before booking.
How long does each session take?
Whole body cryotherapy usually involves 3 to 5 minutes of cold-air exposure. Localized cryotherapy varies by requested area and studio protocol. These describe the cold-air session, not total visit time; ask staff what to allow for check-in, preparation, and screening.
Which one should I start with if I am not sure?
Compare the format you prefer and the price: regular whole body cryotherapy is $50, and localized cryotherapy is $35. The $25 introductory offer applies only to eligible new clients’ first whole body cryotherapy session. Staff can explain the options; an injury or concerning symptoms need medical guidance before booking.
