After facing tundra-like temperatures en route to shows, it’s hard to imagine willingly signing yourself up for a deep freeze in a cylindrical chamber that is cooled to a brisk -256 degrees Fahrenheit via liquid nitrogen. Did we mention you’re stripped down to your skivvies and socks? Though the risk of frostbite is real, pro athletes (like Usain Bolt) and celebs (such as Demi Moore) undergo cryotherapy for its antiaging, inflammation-reducing, and metabolism-boosting effects. And supers like Jessica Stam wanting to stay on top of their game during a marathon of shows are no different, prepping for NYFW by putting their bodies on ice. While the three-minute treatment (available at locations like Cryo-Health in Dubai) is said to mitigate the appearance of cellulite and up your energy levels, those of us planning to stay bundled up for Fall ’15 might want to stick to a bottomless cup of coffee and wait for bikini season to chill out.
