HOCATT stands for hyperthermic, ozone, and carbonic acid transdermal technology. The HOCATT sauna in Alexandria uses the power of various technologies to stimulate your body on a cellular level, all within a single session.
The closed chamber emits up to 10 different therapies and elements to encourage healing and relaxation. It’s the ultimate biohacking device, as it:
As you relax in the sauna, you can experience exactly what your body needs to rest, recover, and perform at its best.
Like a traditional sauna, HOCATT causes hyperthermia, raising your body temperature to promote detoxification and strengthen your defenses. The steam and infrared light therapy combined lead to the:
As the chamber releases steam, it also emits carbon dioxide (CO2), creating a compound called carbonic acid. Your skin absorbs this acid, preparing it for the upcoming ozone therapy.
This optimizes the blood, allowing for the uptake of oxygen.
Once your body absorbs the carbonic acid, the sauna emits ozone. Ozone provides effective antioxidant properties, helping you stay at the top of your game.
These antioxidant properties within the ozone increase oxygen delivery to cells and tissues, enhancing circulation and muscle repair. Ozone therapy makes our sauna in Alexandria an effective biohacking service, healing your body from the inside after workouts or high stress.
The sauna uses far-infrared rays to increase your body temperature, increase collagen production, and improve skin health. Similar to traditional red light therapy, your body absorbs the light as heat, enhancing tissue repair and reducing soreness.
This light therapy gives your body a healing boost, helping you recover from workouts and fight off illness or muscle pain.
Enhance circulation and reduce inflammation even further with microcurrent stimulation. These frequency-specific currents stimulate the hands and feet, mimicking your body’s natural electrical activity.
With this optional therapy, you can target and ease pain and enhance cellular repair to improve vitality.
We can add essential oils (aromatherapy) to your sessions, providing enhanced healing powers from the steam. These oils can calm the mind, soothe your muscles, or increase energy levels. Aromatherapy allows our clients to enter a deep state of relaxation.
During your intake session, we uncover how HOCATT can help you live better and feel unstoppable. With our sauna in Alexandria, our team helps clients realign their bodies after intense workouts, enhance their longevity, and ultimately promote the best version of themselves.
Typically, when you enjoy a steam room or sauna, you sweat out toxins and enter a state of relaxation. The HOCATT goes far beyond heat, providing many other elements to relax the body and promote healing and regeneration.
With the HOCATT, you get:
If you’re looking for muscle recovery after a Pilates Reformer class, want to boost relaxation for a good night’s sleep, or increase blood flow to reduce inflammation, HOCATT can do all of that and more.
HOCATT makes biohacking easy by resetting the body, restoring the mind, and enhancing your well-being all in one session. We can soothe the mind, body, and soul, offering an advanced alternative to traditional sauna experiences.
Our team designs each session based on what your body needs and what can help you reach your goals.
This means that the time spent in the chamber differs for each client. Typically, sessions last between 15 and 45 minutes, giving our clients however much time they need to recover.
When you get into the sauna:
We close the chamber around your body, leaving your head exposed. Our team gives you a nasal cannula, which emits oxygen into your nose to keep your breathing and oxygen levels optimal. This also means you won’t breathe in the steam like with a traditional sauna.
While you sit in the chamber:
You experience deep, restoring warmth from the steam and far-infrared rays. Your body temperature rises, and your skin absorbs the elements in the steam.
For the next 15 to 45 minutes, you can enjoy our HOCATT sauna in Alexandria, listen to music, or just close your eyes and relax. Many clients report feeling soothed and calm during their sessions!
The HOCATT makes enhancing your wellness easy, without discomfort or downtime.
After your session:
You can return to your daily activities feeling renewed and rejuvenated. We highly recommend hydrating your body afterwards since it’s likely you sweated a lot during your appointment!
Once you speak with a member of our team about your wellness goals, we can create a personalized plan for you, mapping out the necessary number of sessions for you.
We typically recommend a series of sessions to get you back into a recovery state, improving your performance and rest. Once you complete the initial series of appointments, you can use the sauna as needed.
Using the HOCATT as-needed continues to promote detoxification and restoration. Clients often schedule appointments if they want a wellness boost or an advanced way to recover after a Pilates class.
