Thermal Contrast Treatment with AVACURA

The smart combination of cold, heat, and biofeedback—for your recovery, resilience, and performance

With AVACURA’s thermal contrast therapy, you’ll experience a new dimension of self-regulation: targeted cold and heat stimulation through the palms of your hands—intelligently controlled, non-invasive, and suitable for everyday use. An effective method for boosting energy, resilience, and holistic well-being.

AVACURA® applies precisely measured cold and heat stimuli through the palms of the hands.

Fully automatic, non-invasive, and effective in just a few minutes. With built-in real-time HRV biofeedback.

Cooling and heating. Combined.

AVACURA® alternates between cold and heat stimuli at precise intervals and combines both with a defined negative pressure applied to the palms. The system is fully automated.

Put your hands on it. Let's get started.

Simply place your hands on the contact surfaces. No need to change clothes, no preparation, and no specialized staff required. The device operates fully automatically and is controlled via an intuitive touchscreen display.

Noticeable results starting with the first session.

Integrated real-time HRV biofeedback makes the nervous system's response visible. Each session documents itself. Progress becomes measurable and trackable.

Thermoregulation Vacuum Technology Smart Health Solution Swiss Engineering Biofeedback

The hands are the most direct connection to the nervous system.

The thermal contrast treatment utilizes the proven principle of alternating between cold and heat. Applied through the palms of the hands, its effects are felt deep within the body—enhanced by a finely tuned vacuum that significantly improves the distribution of thermal stimuli through the circulatory system.

Whole-Body Cryotherapy Redefined.

Cryotherapy down to -110°C

Our cryochamber can be placed in any facility, as its unique technology makes it possible to install the cryochamber without any structural modifications.

Low power consumption thanks to innovative technology

In its basic configuration, our electric cold chamber impresses with its low power consumption of 3.5 kWh.

Integrated Full-Featured Software

The integrated software offers a customer database, medical history tracking, customized time tracking, lighting control, and interfaces with health-tracking providers. All features are consolidated into a single interface, without the need for external systems or additional licenses.

The Power of the Thermal Contrast Application

AVACURA®’s mechanism of action targets a specific anatomical access point: the palms of the hands. Hardly any other area of the body has a comparable density of blood vessels or such a direct connection to the autonomic nervous system. The system alternates between cold and warm phases at calibrated intervals, keeping specific blood vessel connections open through a defined negative pressure.

The result is a fully documented session: HRV trends, response patterns, and session parameters are automatically recorded. The device requires no intervention by staff. Everything runs automatically from the first minute to the last.

FAQ

How does an application work?

Using AVACURA is pleasant and straightforward. Only the palms of the hands are used to apply targeted cold and heat stimuli through a comfortable surface. Thanks to the software-controlled interaction of temperature and negative pressure, blood circulates throughout the body as a result of this stimulation—without any feeling of cold or sweating.

Is the application dangerous?

AVACURA is a particularly gentle, non-invasive method for applying cold and heat stimuli—completely drug-free and with no known side effects. Simply place your palms on the designated areas of the device, and the treatment runs automatically via the built-in software control system.

How often should AVACURA be used?

For athletic applications, 2-minute sessions are recommended. For applications as part of pain management or recovery programs, a regimen of 5 × 2 minutes may be appropriate—ideally in consultation with a healthcare professional.

What is AVACURA?

AVACURA combines precisely measured cold and heat stimuli with a defined negative pressure applied to the palms of the hands. This thermally affects the blood without causing small blood vessels to constrict. The body’s response to this stimulation can trigger a variety of processes, ranging from improved blood circulation to autonomic regulation.

Does AVACURA work only on the hands and arms?

No—although the stimuli are applied locally to the palms, the effect has the potential to affect the entire body. The palms are closely linked to the autonomic nervous system and central thermoregulation, which can enable systemic effects. No general claims regarding the treatment’s effects are made, as the response may vary from person to person.

Will I feel cold while using it?

No. AVACURA is designed so that you won’t feel cold or uncomfortable during treatment. Heat exchange is precisely regulated—there are no unpleasant side effects such as heavy sweating or cold-induced pain.

Where does the technology come from?

The use of cold and heat stimuli applied to the palms was originally inspired by research conducted by the U.S. Army in the 1990s. Stanford University further developed these findings and demonstrated that the additional use of negative pressure can enhance the physiological effect—for example, by specifically keeping certain vascular connections (anastomoses) open.

Is AVACURA suitable for everyone?

AVACURA allows for personalized use, tailored to your height and weight. If you have any health concerns or uncertainties, you should always consult a doctor before use.

How do I use the AVACURA system?

Simply place your hand in the designated chamber—the device takes care of the rest. The device is ready to use in just a few minutes, with step-by-step guidance via the intuitive touchscreen. Presets make it especially convenient to use—just one touch of a button is all it takes.

Why not just use the warmth of your hands over hot water?

When exposed to direct heat, the body automatically protects itself by constricting the blood vessels. AVACURA, on the other hand, uses a controlled negative pressure that specifically dilates the vascular network in the palm of the hand. This allows the thermal stimulus to be efficiently and safely introduced into the circulatory system—without overheating or triggering natural defense reactions.

Should you switch hands while using it?

Alternating between both sides can be beneficial for promoting blood flow and elasticity in both arteries—especially if you have poor circulation. If you have any questions, please consult your doctor.

Who is AVACURA suitable for?

For anyone looking for a drug-free, non-invasive solution to activate the body’s own regulatory mechanisms—for example, to promote microcirculation, relaxation, and regeneration, or as a complementary approach within holistic health programs.

Can AVACURA cause side effects?

To date, no serious side effects have been documented. The gentle application, the airtight cuff system, and the controlled temperature regulation ensure maximum safety. Temporary redness or slight swelling of the hand may occur—these are considered harmless and usually disappear after a few treatments.

Why is my hand red or swollen after using the product?

This may be caused by improved blood circulation resulting from the negative pressure. Mild itching or redness may also occur initially—especially when capillaries are activated for the first time. These effects are temporary and usually disappear after just a few treatments.

Will AVACURA work for me?

Every body reacts differently. Most users report noticeable improvements—whether in their sense of well-being, relaxation, or ability to recover. Give it a try—risk-free, with clear instructions and professional standards.
