Professional cryotherapy systems vary widely in price depending on technology (nitrogen vs. electric), capacity, build quality, and included services. This guide explains the main cost drivers, typical price ranges, and ongoing expenses so you can budget with confidence. Key Cost Drivers Cooling Technology: Nitrogen-cooled units use liquid nitrogen (LN2); electric units use compressor-based refrigeration. Capacity & Throughput: Pre-cool time and cycle time determine how many sessions per hour you can run. Construction & Safety: Cabin materials, sensors, oxygen monitoring (for LN2 rooms), and compliance features. Service Package: Delivery, installation, training, warranty, and after-sales support. Typical Price Ranges (New Equipment) Exact pricing depends on brand, options, and region; the ranges below are indicative for professional setups. Nitrogen-Cooled Cryosauna: approx. €70,000–€120,000 for a modern open-top unit with training and basic install. Electric Cryosauna: often higher upfront due to compressors and heat exchangers; many projects land from ~€90,000 up to €150,000+ depending on performance and features. New vs. Used / Refurbished Used: Lower upfront cost, but check compressor hours (electric), dewar/tank interfaces (nitrogen), sensor condition, and service history. Refurbished: May include limited warranty and new wear parts; verify what’s covered and who performs service. Installation & Site Costs Electrical: Electric units typically require dedicated power (often 3-phase). Budget for wiring and breakers as per spec. Ventilation: Nitrogen rooms need appropriate ventilation and often oxygen monitoring; electric units need heat rejection/airflow. Room Prep: Flooring, clearances, and access for delivery and maintenance. Ongoing Running Costs Nitrogen-Cooled Units LN2 Supply: Regular deliveries; consumption depends on cycle time and ambient conditions. Logistics: Dewar rental/handling and safe storage practices. Electricity: Lower than electric units for cooling, but still needed for controls and auxiliaries. Electric Units Electricity: Primary operating cost (compressors and fans). Maintenance: Preventive service on refrigeration components improves uptime and consistency. Service, Warranty & Training Training: Operator certification, safety protocols, and client workflow. Warranty: Coverage length, parts/labor, and response times. Support: Remote diagnostics, spare parts availability, and on-site service options. Example Budget Breakdown (Indicative) Item Nitrogen-Cooled Electric Machine (new) €70k–€120k €90k–€150k+ Installation & room prep €3k–€10k €5k–€15k Initial training Included or €1k–€3k Included or €1k–€3k Annual maintenance €500–€2k (plus LN2 logistics) €1k–€4k (preventive service) Primary running cost LN2 deliveries Electricity Which Option Fits Your Use Case? Limited electrical capacity: Nitrogen may be simpler to site if LN2 logistics are feasible. Avoid cryogen supply: Electric units remove LN2 deliveries and inventory handling. High throughput: Compare cycle times, pre-cool, and session stability across models. Final Thoughts Total cost of ownership includes the machine, room prep, training, warranty, and ongoing operating costs. Map these against your expected session volume and pricing to understand payback and long-term value. A clear plan for installation, staffing, and service will help ensure smooth operations from day one. Important Notes Cryotherapy systems are intended for general wellness and recovery support. They are not medical devices unless clearly stated and are not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and applicable safety standards for installation and operation. ```0
