Most cryotherapy chambers on the market were designed over a quarter of a century ago. The CryoStar was designed for right now — and for the decade ahead.

When Vacuactivus set out to build the CryoStar, the brief was uncompromising: take everything the industry had learned about cryotherapy since its inception, discard every outdated assumption, and engineer a chamber that is genuinely superior in every dimension — temperature, safety, efficiency, intelligence, and design. The result is a cryosauna that has become a bestseller in over 50 countries within just a few years of its release. That kind of adoption does not happen by accident.

This is the complete guide to the CryoStar: why it belongs in a different category from its competitors, what it does to your body, and exactly how to use it for maximum therapeutic results.

Why the CryoStar Belongs in a Category of Its Own

Walk into any cryotherapy market and you will encounter dozens of chambers that look similar and make similar claims. Look closer, and you will find that most of them share the same fundamental architecture — an aging platform developed in the late 1990s, updated cosmetically but never reimagined at its core. The CryoStar is the exception.

Platinum-Jet Indirect Nitrogen Technology

The most critical innovation inside the CryoStar is one you cannot see: platinum injection nozzles positioned precisely at the center of the chamber. These jets spray nitrogen indirectly — meaning the client is never exposed to direct liquid nitrogen contact. This solves two problems simultaneously: it eliminates the injury risk from cryogenic liquid exposure that plagues conventional chambers, and it achieves something older designs have never managed — genuinely uniform temperature distribution throughout the entire chamber space.

The practical result? Every part of the body receives equal cold exposure during every session, with no cold-spots or uneven zones compromising the therapeutic effect. And because the platinum-jet system is remarkably efficient, nitrogen consumption drops to just 3–5 liters per session — a fraction of what competing chambers consume. For businesses, this is a transformative operational advantage.

Temperature That Means Business

The CryoStar operates at temperatures between −160°C and −180°C — among the deepest cold exposures available in any commercial cryotherapy system. This matters because therapeutic outcomes are directly correlated with the intensity of the cold stimulus. At these temperatures, the body’s vasoconstriction response is maximally activated, cold-receptor engagement is total, and the subsequent endorphin and anti-inflammatory cascade reaches its full potential. Half-measures produce half-results. The CryoStar does not do half-measures.

Intelligence Built In — The Thermal Vision Advantage

The CryoStar Grand takes the chamber into territory no competitor has reached: a built-in thermovision camera that monitors the body’s thermal response in real time during the session. The system captures infrared radiation from the skin surface, processes it through an onboard bolometer matrix, and renders a colour-mapped display — cold zones appear blue, warmer areas shift through yellow to red. Operators can see exactly how the body is responding to temperature, where circulation is being stimulated, and which areas are reaching therapeutic cold levels — live, during the session.

This is not a gimmick. Thermal monitoring transforms cryotherapy from a subjective experience into a measurable, data-driven treatment — enabling practitioners to validate outcomes, personalise protocols, and demonstrate results to clients in a language they can see with their own eyes.

A Design That Commands Attention

The cryosauna in your facility is not just equipment — it is a statement about your business. The CryoStar’s futuristic exterior, ergonomic form, and available custom colour and branding options ensure it commands attention in any premium environment. The automatic door system — operable by remote or door-mounted button — adds a layer of effortless sophistication that clients notice and remember. The interior is spacious, fast-cooling, and designed for genuine comfort even at extreme temperatures.

Operational Simplicity at Scale

No specialist service is required. No complex maintenance contracts. The CryoStar is built from high-quality components sourced from Europe and the USA, engineered for long service life and minimal downtime. The 10.1-inch touchscreen interface offers three automatic programmes and one manual setting, making it straightforward enough for any trained staff member to operate confidently from day one. For multi-session facilities running back-to-back appointments, the fast pre-cooling and drying cycle means the CryoStar is ready for its next client without delay.
