Frequently asked questions

You should not shave or wax your skin just before flotation. The Epsom salt will sting the irritated skin. There is Vaseline available that you can use to cover small cuts or scratches. Please don’t use any skin or hair products before you enter the tank, and avoid drinking coffee in the hour prior to the treatment.

No, you should just bring yourself. You can bring a swimsuit, but most people prefer to float without clothes because it gives the most undisturbed experience. We provide shampoo, towels, and earplugs.

In the hours prior to flotation, it is best to eat light. You should drink only water; it is important to avoid coffee.

No. Some people do fall asleep, but the salinity of the water is so high that everyone floats on the surface, regardless of size and fitness level.

Absolutely. It is cleaner than any swimming pool you properly have ever been in. The Epsom salt combined with hydrogen peroxide creates an environment that is 100 percent sterile, and the water is rinsed through micro filters between each float.

Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, is a mineral that has been proven to help the body detox, to increase immune system strength, and to trigger endorphins. It helps decrease the level of the stress hormone adrenalin, and helps the body arrive at a more balanced and relaxed state.

No, it doesn’t feel claustrophobic. The feeling of floating is closer to finding yourself weightless in an infinite universe where you are perfectly relaxed. If you are nervous, it is important that you talk to us so we can help. You can choose the larger Float Cabin instead of the Float Pod, and you can additionally choose to leave the lights on, to have music playing, and to have the door open if you wish. Additionally, you can start by trying a pair-float together with someone you know and trust.

You should get out of the tank, rinse the salt off in the shower, put clothes on, and go out to the bathroom. Remember to take a shower again before you return to your floating pod.

You should avoid shaving and waxing right before the treatment, because the salt will sting that skin. If you get your hair dyed or if you use self-tanner on your skin, then you should wait a week before floating to give the color a chance to set.

If you suffer from a serious illness such as epilepsy, incontinence, or a serious skin disease, you unfortunately are not allowed to float.

For most pregnant women, floating is a great way to de-stress the body. If you are nervous or in doubt, please consult your doctor.

Most people experience positive changes after 3-5 treatments. However, the body’s reaction to flotation therapy is very individual. You should expect, though, that during the first treatment you may not experience total relaxation, as there are many new sensations in the tank that you will have to get used to.

Because you will sweat, it is important that you drink ample water before and after your treatment in the sauna.

No, you just need to bring yourself and a bottle of water. We will provide a towel for you.

Then you should leave the sauna until you are sufficiently cooled down to continue the treatment. Because the air doesn’t warm up like in a traditional sauna, the temperature will be lower. However, the infrared rays do warm up the body’s core temperature like in a traditional sauna.

The infrared sauna warms the body up slowly and comfortably, and most will find the treatment relaxing and pleasant. Typically, it will take 10-15 minutes before you begin to sweat. After that, most people will have a pleasant and relaxing feeling in their body, a bit like when you have been physically active.

Most manufacturers of infrared saunas recommend that the body has time to cool down on its own. But if you don’t find that comfortable, you can take a shower when you get home.

You should relax in our lounge with a glass of water or a hot cup of tea. Give yourself the extra minutes that it takes for your body to recover. While cooling down, you can be glad that the increased body temperature will cause your body to burn extra calories for up to an hour after the treatment.

There is no limit for how often you may use the infrared sauna. One treatment should be no longer than a half hour at a time, and most people prefer 1-2 treatments per week.

Then you enter the cryo sauna, but your head does not go inside the sauna, it sticks out at the top of the sauna. The Cryo sauna then starts cooling your body down with cold dry air.

You can always follow in real time what the surface temperature of your body is in six different spots. If it feels too overwhelming, you can always open the door and step out of the Cryo.

A session is around 2-3 minutes depending on how quickly your body reacts to the cold.

The Cryo Sauna in our studio is a new development by the world’s leading manufacturer, the Finnish company CTN, and one of the only electrically powered ones on the marked. This means that the cold is not primarily at the bottom of the sauna but is distributed more evenly on the body.

There’s intelligent measuring of the body’s temperature in six different places on the body at all times during the session, meaning that only the necessary amount of cold is exposed to the body and the machine will stop blowing cold air when you have reached the right surface temperature. The session ends when the target temperature has been reached.

The instructor is by your side during the entirety of the session, and you can always open the door and stop the session.

LedPro (the red light therapy machine) is a product by the Finish manufacture CTN, and it is a treatment exposing the body to both red light and near infrared light (NIR). The machine looks like a tanning bed, but apart from looks, there are no other correlations – no damaging UV-rays or harmful effects.

After you have undressed, you lay down in the LedPro with the sharp red light. We recommend that you close your eyes as the light can cause discomfort. We also have special glasses available for you to wear during the treatment. After a couple of minutes, you will be able to feel a warmth spread in your body. The treatment lasts 8-10 minutes.
