Nitrogen vapour, far below what electric can reach. Details land at launch.

A commercial cryosauna usually costs $25,000–30,000 new, which makes it the entry point of the cryotherapy market. The guest stands inside a cylinder with their head above the rim for a 2–3 minute session. We do not sell a cryosauna. This page is a straight buyer guide, and it shows when our walk-in Cryo X1 is the better fit.

What we sell today

Our Cryo X1 is a walk-in electric chamber for one guest, head in, at −110 °C (−166 °F). It costs $69,900, or about $1,450 a month on a lease, and runs on $140–200 a month in electricity. It needs a 2 × 2 m room and a three-phase circuit. More Superhuman models are on the way.

If you want whole-body cold now, the Cryo X1 walk-in chamber is on sale: one guest, −110 °C (−166 °F), $69,900, about $1,450 a month on a lease and $140–200 a month in electricity.

Cryosauna price and running cost

Across the market, the purchase price of electric and nitrogen cryosaunas is close. The monthly cost is not.

Electric cryosauna Nitrogen cryosauna
Typical new price entry band, around $25,000–30,000 entry band, often the lower end
Cooling refrigeration system liquid nitrogen vapour
Cooling cost / month electricity only $3,000–5,000 liquid nitrogen at daily volume
Deliveries none regular tank or dewar refills
Room needs suitable electrical circuit ventilation and an oxygen monitor
Coldest cabin air colder is harder for electric very cold, very fast

Nitrogen cost depends on your local supplier, your session count and boil-off from the storage dewar. Ask any seller to model it with you before you buy. Used cryosaunas trade well below new prices; see used cryotherapy chambers.

Electric vs nitrogen cryosauna

Nitrogen cryosaunas are the traditional type. Liquid nitrogen vapour fills the cabin and gets it very cold, very fast. They usually cost the least to buy and are ready soon after you open the supply. The catch is the monthly nitrogen bill, tank deliveries, and room rules: nitrogen displaces oxygen, so the room needs ventilation, a wall-mounted oxygen monitor and space for the dewar.

Electric cryosaunas cool the cabin with a refrigeration system. They do not get as cold as nitrogen vapour, but they have no gas bill, no deliveries and no nitrogen handling.

A simple rule we use with buyers:

  • Daily sessions, most days of the week: electric. The running cost difference usually covers a higher price within months.
  • Low or seasonal volume, or you already have a nitrogen supplier: nitrogen can make sense.

The full comparison, including safety and room needs, is in electric vs nitrogen cryotherapy.

The head-out experience

In a cryosauna, the guest steps onto a height-adjustable floor so their shoulders line up with the rim. The head stays in room air for the whole session. This has some real advantages:

  • Easier for first-timers. Many guests find it less intimidating than walking into a closed room.
  • Face-to-face contact. The operator can talk to the guest and watch how they are doing the whole time.
  • Smaller footprint. A typical cryosauna needs about 1.8 × 1.8 m (6 × 6 ft) of floor.

The limit is that the head and neck are not cooled. Sports and recovery buyers often ask for head-in, whole-body sessions by name. If that is your market, look at the Cryo X1 walk-in chamber. Our cryosauna vs chamber guide covers the choice in detail.

Who a cryosauna fits

  • Day spas and med spas adding cold to a treatment menu. See cryotherapy for spas.
  • Boutique fitness studios with limited floor space.
  • Wellness centers that want to test demand before committing to a walk-in chamber.
  • Operators on a tight budget, where the entry band is easier to justify.

Guests use cryosaunas as part of recovery and wellness routines. Whole-body cryotherapy is not FDA-cleared to treat any medical condition, and research on its effects is ongoing. Market it as a wellness service, not a treatment. Our safety guide covers screening and operating rules.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a commercial cryosauna cost?

New commercial cryosaunas usually sit at the entry end of the market, around $25,000–30,000. Used units trade lower.

Can I buy a Superhuman Cryo cryosauna today?

No. We sell the Cryo X1, a walk-in electric chamber at $69,900. If you want whole-body, head-in sessions without a nitrogen bill, it is the model to look at.

What is the difference between a cryosauna and a cryotherapy chamber?

In a cryosauna the guest's head stays above the rim, in room air. In a whole-body chamber like the X1 the guest walks fully inside, head included.

Electric or nitrogen cryosauna, which is cheaper?

Nitrogen units usually cost less to buy. Electric units cost far less to run. Liquid nitrogen commonly runs $3,000–5,000 a month at daily volume, while an electric unit's cooling cost is an electricity bill. At daily volume electric usually wins on total cost.
