Сryotherapy business cost

One-time costs

Recurring payments

1. Monthly rental costs for the premises. The area of your center should be at least 6m² in case of a Cryomed Pro cryotherapy machine. But, for example, cryosauna Cryomed One requires only 1 m², so you can go for the most suitable option;
2. Liquid nitrogen cost. If you decide on a valve type cryosauna operated from pressurized tanks, add monthly tank rental payments to your nitrogen provider here as well. If you choose a Dewar type cryosauna operated from 40-liter unpressurized tanks, you only pay for liquid nitrogen. More information on the difference between the two types can be found here.
3. Insurance.
4. Staff salary.
5. Utility costs.
6. Promotional campaign. If you need our support for your marketing campaign, contact us for promo materials and a promotional kit.

In some countries, licenses or permits might be needed to operate cryotherapy centers. Consider looking into this issue well in advance to run your new business smoothly. Anyway, Cryomed has extensive experience in opening cryotherapy centers all over the world and we would be happy to give you advice.

How to calculate the profitability of your cryotherapy business?

The profit of the cryotherapy business depends on the average cryosauna session. An average session time is 3 minutes.

• If you have at least 10 cryotherapy sessions per day, in one month (including weekends) you can have as many as 300.
• The average price of one session is about $35.
• So with this workload, your center will be busy with cryotherapy sessions for some hours and a half daily, and your monthly income will be $10,500.
• Deduct your one-time costs and monthly expenses, and you will get your net profit.

Of course, these calculations are very approximate, but they will give you an idea of what to expect from your business and how long it will take to recover your investment.

Promotion of your cryotherapy business

Hopefully, over time word of mouth will become a key driver for your cryotherapy machine business. Still, in the beginning, you will need to make an effort to attract customers. First, you can start an online promotional campaign. Digital marketing is a flexible and adjustable tool that can help you without big investments.

Special offers can be another very effective promotional tool.

You can offer different subscription packages (monthly, yearly, unlimited) and discounts for regular customers. Gift cards or certificates are also an efficient method to grow your business.
