Complement the warmth of an infrared sauna with the cold of a SNØ Shower to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being.



Inspired by the Nordic tradition of SnØ bading, our proprietary SNØ shower is a refreshing 45°F rainfall shower. From the privacy of your suite, step into the cold rainfall stream for up to 45 seconds and feel immediately refreshed. Our newest innovation SNØ Shower offers a modern and elevated approach to contrast therapy.
Powered by Silient™ cold-water chiller technology and with an emphasis on safety and customization, our in-suite SNØ showers are innovatively designed to integrate seamlessly into the sauna experience.
The combination of full spectrum infrared sauna, red light therapy, and SNØ showers offers a powerful blend of physical and mental benefits. The alternating temperatures offer a unique therapeutic experience and healing benefits.
Warmth causes blood vessels to widen (vasodilation) and cold causes them to tighten (vasoconstriction), producing a dynamic shift in circulation as your body adapts to each temperature change.
Perspire’s proprietary SNØ Shower delivers a cool 45°F waterfall shower for up to 45 seconds. This temperature is based on scientific research studies, which suggest that about 45°F to 59°F is effective at lowering your core body temperature for most individuals.
Generally speaking, colder temperatures can lower your body temperature in a shorter amount of time. 45 seconds at 45°F is long enough to lower your core body temperature and activate the benefits of cold therapy, like increased alertness and improved recovery, while short enough to stay consistent with over time. It’s an effective dose that supports both results and routine
A SNØ Shower should feel uncomfortable yet doable. Just like most other health behaviors, cold therapy takes practice and repetition. As you add contrast therapy to your routine, we recommend:
A cold plunge and a SNØ Shower both activate your sympathetic nervous system, reducing feelings of muscular soreness, improving your mood, and relieving pain. What makes our experience unique is the customization—by utilizing a shower, it allows you to self-position under the flow of water or step away from the stimulus as needed. Plus, the SNØ Shower is seamlessly integrated into the sauna experience, maintaining our value on privacy and centering our members.
Contrast therapy is generally considered safe for most guests. Our team can provide you with evidence-based protocols designed with an effective, safe experience in mind.
If you have individualized health questions, we recommend consulting your medical provider ahead of adding contrast therapy to your routine. Contrast therapy does have vascular implications, meaning it significantly alters your blood pressure and blood flow. Perspire Sauna Studio recommends talking with your healthcare team ahead of adding this modality into your wellness plan as a complementary therapy.
Select a shower suite (🚿) and continue to booking. Before you can confirm or complete the booking, a pop-up with “Contrast Therapy Add-On” pops up for you to add to your session.
SNØ is intended to complement your infrared sauna session as part of our contrast therapy experience. At this time, it’s not available as a standalone service.
All guests can book a SNØ Shower as part of their session—available at participating locations only. This modality is included at no additional cost for IRitual members, and available as an add-on for all other guests. Simply look for the 🚿 icon when booking to select a suite with SNØ Shower access.
While the app may show a charge when booking your SNØ Shower, our system recognizes your IRitual membership and will automatically apply the correct benefits—you won’t be charged.
Our saunas combine the centuries-old healing practice of traditional sauna with the science-backed technology of infrared (IR) and red light therapy (RLT) to optimize your health and wellness.
