I have been coming to this clinic for several years now as I wanted to find a place that specialized in natural aesthetic upgrades, and this is THE place for that. I see Lisa regularly for Botox and lip filler and she helps keep my face youthful and natural – I highly recommend her terrific work.

Better than the face I was born with! After much research, I chose Dr. B because he specializes in facial surgery. Five months post surgery, I can say that I am thrilled with the results! If you are thinking about a facelift, I highly recommend you have a consultation with Dr. B!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Neo Luna Cold Room?

The Neo Luna Cold Room is a fully electric, operator-controlled cold exposure space designed for wellness experiences. It offers adjustable temperatures between –10°C and –30°C, providing a safe and refreshing environment for short-duration cold exposure. This facility is intended for general wellness and recovery purposes and is not a medical treatment.

What are the benefits of using the Neo Luna Cold Room?

Engaging in cold exposure sessions in the Neo Luna Cold Room can offer several wellness benefits, including:

  • Enhanced circulation

  • Increased energy levels

  • Improved mood

  • Support for post-sauna recovery

  • Complement to contrast therapy routines

  • A refreshing and invigorating experience

‍

How long is a typical session in the Neo Luna Cold Room?

‍

What should I wear during a session?

Can I combine the Neo Luna Cold Room with other treatments?

Yes, the Neo Luna Cold Room is often used in conjunction with infrared sauna sessions as part of a contrast therapy routine. Alternating between heat and cold exposure can enhance the overall wellness experience.

How does the Neo Luna Cold Room differ from a cold plunge?

Unlike cold plunges, which involve immersion in cold water, the Neo Luna Cold Room provides a dry cold environment. This allows for cold exposure without the need for water immersion, offering a different sensory experience while still delivering the benefits associated with cold therapy.

How often should I use the Neo Luna Cold Room?

Frequency of use depends on individual wellness goals and personal tolerance. Some individuals may benefit from sessions a few times per week, while others may prefer less frequent use. It's recommended to start with one session and assess how your body responds.
