FAQ
Questions and answers about Contrast Therapy
Book your Contrast Therapy sessions at Heal LA in South Bay. This service combines cold therapy (CryoFloat) with heat therapy (HaloRed Sauna) for maximum results.
The cold phase causes blood vessels to constrict. When this vasoconstriction is followed by a heat phase, it amplifies the post-cold rebound. The combined effect of the two modalities leads to accelerated lymphatic clearance, compounded anti-inflammatory response, immune stimulation, and amplified mood elevation.
Contrast Therapy is a single-cycle protocol. For active recovery and performance: 2-3 sessions/week For general wellness and immune support: 1-2 sessions/week First time clients: Complete CryoFloat and HaloRed Sauna sessions independently before booking Contrast Therapy
The entire session lasts for 60 minutes. This includes a 3-5 minute CryoFloat session, 2-5 minutes of transition time, and a 30-45 minute HaloRed Sauna session. Consistent use improves results over time.
Hydrate well before every system. This makes your plasma oxygen transport more efficient. You should wear loose, comfortable clothing. We do not allow electronics or personal items inside the chamber. Please note that you will feel pressure in your ears, similar to what you feel when descending in an airplane, during the session. Our practitioners will walk you through an ear equalization technique and a full pressurization protocol prior to your session.
