Whole-body cryotherapy at High Stone is a Colleyville service. A Cryo Max session runs up to five minutes and costs $34.99. You step into a chamber, very cold dry air surrounds you, and a few minutes later you step out and get on with your day.
It is not the same thing as our cryo facial, which is $145 and available at both spas. People mix these up constantly. Whole-body cryo is the chamber. The cryo facial is a facial. Book the wrong one and you will have a perfectly good appointment, just not the one you wanted.
Below: what a first session involves, the honest version of what cryo is used for, who should talk to a physician first, and what it costs if you keep going.
What whole-body cryotherapy is
Whole-body cryotherapy is a short, controlled exposure to very cold air. That is the whole concept. It is measured in minutes rather than the ten or twenty you might spend in an ice bath, and it is dry: you do not get wet.
Brevity is the point. A short, intense cold exposure is a different experience from a long cool one, and people who have tried both usually say the chamber is easier to face on a Tuesday morning than a tub of ice water. Our Cryo Max session runs up to five minutes; the details are on the whole-body cryotherapy page.
What your first cryotherapy session in Colleyville is like
You will not be left to work it out on your own. Someone on the team walks you through it before anything gets cold: what happens, how long it lasts, what to do if you want to stop. Ask everything. First-timers tend to ask the same few, and we never mind.
The first thirty seconds are the part people remember. After that, most guests say the clock moves faster than they expected. If you want out early, you say so and the session stops. Nobody is going to talk you into another thirty seconds.
Afterwards is the bit that brings people back. Guests often describe feeling alert, loose and oddly awake for a while. Some feel very little the first time and more the second. Both are normal.
What to wear to cryotherapy
This is the most searched question about cryotherapy, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a list copied from another spa’s website. Our team tells you exactly what to wear and what to leave outside the chamber when you arrive, and will tell you on the phone beforehand if you would rather know. Call (972) 539-1388 and ask.
The one thing that holds true everywhere: you go in dry. If you are coming straight from a workout or a shower, give yourself time to dry off first. Beyond that, let us brief you. It takes a minute and you are not guessing on the day.
Whole-body cryo versus the cryo facial
This is the most common mix-up we deal with.
| Whole-body cryotherapy (Cryo Max) | Cryo Facial | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | Colleyville only | Flower Mound and Colleyville |
| What it is | A short, whole-body exposure to very cold air in a chamber | A facial appointment that uses cold on the skin of the face and neck |
| Session | Up to 5 minutes | A full facial appointment |
| Price | $34.99 | $145 |
So if a friend told you they had cryo at our Flower Mound spa, they had the cryo facial, which sits on the facial menu at both locations. The chamber is in Colleyville, and that is the only place we have one.
What cryotherapy is used for, and what it is not
Athletes use cryotherapy as part of a recovery routine, usually after hard sessions. Other guests come for how they feel walking out: awake, loose, ready for the day. Some come because a few minutes of extreme cold is an interesting thing to do on a Saturday. All fair reasons to book.
Here is what we will not tell you. We will not say cryotherapy reduces inflammation, burns calories, helps with weight loss, or does anything at all to a diagnosed condition. Whole-body cryotherapy has not been cleared by the FDA as a treatment for any medical condition, and the research is still thin: small studies, short exposures, limited agreement about what is happening. If you see it marketed harder than that, treat the claim with care.
Where it fits is alongside the unglamorous parts of recovery: sleep, food, sensible training and hands-on work. If the reason you are considering cryo is sore legs after a long run, a sports massage and stretch session is doing more of the work, and the two sit well together.
What it costs, and the two cryo memberships
A Cryo Max session is $34.99. If it turns into a habit, there are two Colleyville plans built around cryotherapy, alongside our general monthly plans.
- Core Cryo, $23.99 a month
- Cryo Max, $34.99 a month
- 60-Min Full Body, $66.99 a month, which covers one 60-minute massage, classic facial or reflexology session each month
Worth noticing before you sign anything: the Cryo Max plan is priced the same as a single Cryo Max session. The value in it is not the first session of the month. It is the member pricing that applies while your membership is active, and credits that roll over instead of expiring. Ask the front desk what each cryo plan covers so you pick the right one, not the cheapest.
All our plans share the same terms: a three-month minimum commitment, credits that roll over month to month, sharing with immediate family, and the option to freeze for $10 a month. If you cancel, remaining credits stay redeemable for 45 days. The full set is on the membership page.
Practical details: our Colleyville spa is at 4906 Colleyville Blvd, Suite 200, on Highway 26 next to Walmart, open Wednesday through Saturday and Monday, 10 AM to 8 PM, closed Sundays and Tuesdays.
Who should talk to a physician first
Cryotherapy is not right for everyone, and we would rather turn a booking away than get this wrong. Talk to your physician before you book, and tell our team when you arrive, if any of these apply.
- You are pregnant
- You have a heart condition, or blood pressure that is not well controlled
- You have circulation problems, Raynaud’s, or any condition triggered by cold
- You have nerve damage or reduced sensation in your hands or feet
- You have had recent surgery, or you have an open wound
- You are asking on behalf of someone under 18. Call us first
Cryotherapy at High Stone supports recovery and general wellness. It is complementary care, not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment, and if you are pregnant or managing a medical condition you should check with your physician before booking. Tell us anything relevant when you arrive.
Frequently asked questions
How long is a cryotherapy session?
Our Cryo Max session runs up to five minutes. That is time inside the chamber, not the whole appointment, so allow longer for the walk-through, especially on a first visit. Most of what takes time is the conversation, not the cold.
How much is cryotherapy in Colleyville?
A Cryo Max session is $34.99. If you expect to come in regularly there are two monthly plans: Core Cryo at $23.99 and Cryo Max at $34.99. Credits roll over and can be shared with immediate family. Ask at the desk what each plan covers before you choose.
What do I wear for cryotherapy?
Our team briefs you on exactly what to wear and what to leave outside the chamber when you arrive, and will do it over the phone at (972) 539-1388 if you would rather know first. The one universal rule is that you go in dry, so allow time to dry off after a workout.
Do you offer cryotherapy in Flower Mound?
Not whole-body cryotherapy. The chamber is at our Colleyville spa only. The cryo facial, a different treatment altogether, is $145 and available at both spas. Flower Mound has its own exclusive therapies instead: the salt room, red light therapy and the infrared sauna.
Is whole-body cryotherapy safe?
It is a brief, supervised session and you can stop it at any point. It is still not right for everyone. If you are pregnant, have a heart or circulation condition, reduced sensation in your hands or feet, or a condition triggered by cold, speak to your physician before booking and tell our team when you arrive.
If you have been curious about the chamber, five minutes is a small thing to try. Cryotherapy is $34.99 at Colleyville and the team walks you through every part of it before you step in. Book a cryotherapy session, and call us first if you would rather have your questions answered.
