You’ll feel a lift in energy and a wave of calm after your very first session—often within 20-30 minutes. Skin improvements (like firmness or reduced cellulite) and deeper recovery benefits (like pain relief or fat loss) build over 2-6 weeks with regular use, typically 3-5 sessions weekly. A 2016 study showed visible cellulite reduction after 12 sessions, so consistency is your friend. Everyone’s body responds uniquely, but the buzz starts fast.

It’s a cozy, enveloping warmth—like sinking into a hot bath—paired with a subtle tingling as blood flow ramps up. CO2 is odorless and tasteless, so there’s no strange smell or discomfort. Some describe it as a “gentle hug” or “internal massage”—relaxing, not overwhelming. The vacuum step might feel snug for a moment, but it’s quick and sets the stage for the magic. Most users find it soothing enough to nap through.

For best results, aim for 30-60 minutes, 3-5 times a week—think of it like a workout for your cells. Newbies can start with 20-30 minutes once or twice weekly to ease in, then ramp up as you feel the groove. Even a single session delivers a noticeable boost—perfect for a quick reset. There’s no upper limit; some enthusiasts use it daily for an hour. Listen to your body—it’ll tell you what it loves.

Choose based on height and weight: Small (up to 5’6”, 150 lbs) for petite frames, Medium (5’7”–6’, 150-200 lbs) for average builds, Large (6’+, 200+ lbs) for taller or broader bodies. Bigger sizes use slightly more CO2 per session but ensure full coverage and comfort. Too small a suit might feel tight; too large might waste gas. Measure twice—our fit guide (included with purchase) nails it. All sizes deliver the same benefits.

You’ll need a CO2 tank—5-10 lbs is ideal, available at welding shops, beverage suppliers, or online (not included). A regulator and hose come with BodyStream, so you’re set to connect and go. Setup’s a breeze—takes 5-10 minutes with our step-by-step guide and video tutorial. No fancy tools required, just a tank refillable locally. It’s a one-time add-on for years of use.

Yes, with care! Kids (10+) and seniors love it for energy or pain relief, but start with shorter sessions—20-30 minutes at first—and supervise closely. For kids, it’s a gentle wellness boost; for seniors, it’s a circulation game-changer (think less swelling, more mobility). Adjust time based on comfort—shorter for smaller or frailer users. No age limit, just common sense and a guardian’s eye.

A 5-lb tank powers 10-15 hour-long sessions (15-20 if you stick to 30 minutes), depending on suit size and flow rate. A 10-lb tank doubles that—20-30 hours of bliss. Refills cost $20-40 locally (think beverage stores or gas suppliers), making it pennies per session. Store it upright, keep it cool, and you’re set for months.
