Formation is a cutting-edge biohacking studio dedicated to helping you live a longer, healthier life. Their tools are tailored specifically to alleviate chronic stress while improving sleep, immunity and cell repair.
Their membership-based business model features annual packages with IV drips, body scans, ozone therapy treatments, hormone monitoring blood work and more. Plus, their unique interior design offers many tech-driven wellness experiences!
Cryotherapy
Whole-body cryotherapy is an anti-aging treatment with powerful results, increasing energy and decreasing inflammation. Clients sit comfortably inside a pod covered with swimwear or shorts and t-shirt before the cold air from within cools the skin to approximately five degrees Celsius, activating your natural pain relief systems as well as recovery systems in your body. Cryotherapy has become increasingly popular with elite athletes looking for an edge ahead of key competitions or to improve overall performance and recovery rates.
Infrared Sauna
Nothing beats entering a warm sanctuary where all stress, muscles tension and healing naturally subsides. Infrared saunas offer just that opportunity through heat therapy for improved physical wellness.
Traditional saunas heat air directly, while infrared saunas use ceramic or metallic panels emitting far-infrared radiation to directly warm the skin directly. This allows it to operate at lower temperatures compared to traditional saunas (between 100-135 F), making it much more comfortable and suitable for most people.
Infrared light stimulates fibroblast cells in your skin to produce more collagen and elastin, helping improve fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation, reduce hyperpigmentation, improve its ability to hydrate more efficiently and increase its lipid barrier thickness.
Studies have also demonstrated the positive effect infrared light can have on one’s mood, helping reduce symptoms of mild depression. This effect comes about because its rays stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system – responsible for relaxing and soothing the mind – as well as its ability to increase BDNF production which supports memory retention and brain health.
Saunas provide another benefit by detoxifying our bodies through perspiration. Sauna sessions encourage perspiration to release harmful toxins, heavy metals and impurities that could negatively impact health, leading to improved cardiovascular and respiratory health as well as enhanced exercise recovery. Sauna sessions have also been linked with improved cardiovascular and respiratory health as well as enhanced exercise recovery – just make sure that you remain well hydrated during and after sauna sessions as increased core body temperatures can cause dehydration or dizziness for some individuals, which could particularly impact those with unstable heart disease or high blood pressure.
Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy uses low-level magnetic frequencies to send bursts directly into your body in order to restore natural cell functions and relieve pain and inflammation management, enhance bone and wound healing, increase energy levels and decrease anxiety levels. It is an easy, noninvasive solution for treating cellular dysfunction that provides pain relief, inflammation management and enhances bone/wound healing while increasing energy levels and decreasing anxiety.
Studies have demonstrated the power of PEMFs to significantly influence cell processes and promote bone and tissue formation, due to their magnetic fields’ ability to modulate key biological pathways such as DNA synthesis and gene expression.
PEMFs may also aid in stimulating nitric oxide production, increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. This can relax vascular systems to enhance overall health and speed recovery time.
This technology has become a cornerstone of sports recovery, helping athletes like Shaquille O’Neal and Novak Djokovic recover more quickly from injuries. Additionally, it has also been utilized in treating chronic pain management and fibromyalgia patients.
Studies conducted on PEMFs have also demonstrated their potential to alleviate neck and back pain by relaxing muscle spasms and decreasing inflammation. One research paper indicates that PEMFs can even decrease pain intensity by interfering with nerve cell afferent signals as well as blocking pro-inflammatory substances from reaching the brain.
PEMFs can increase stem cell activity, essential for tissue repair and regeneration. According to studies, PEMFs can stimulate stem cell activity eight-fold. Red light therapy combined with PEMFs works effectively to recharge your cells, restore balance, and facilitate natural healing processes.
Salt Therapy
Salt therapy (halotherapy) is an effective respiratory health solution. Salt is naturally anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal; and some claim it detoxifies both lung tissue and skin. Halotherapy may provide relief for allergies, sinusitis, COPD as well as stress reduction, improved sleep quality and strengthened immunity.
Salt Therapy at Formation is an increasingly popular addition to their comprehensive wellness lineup that also features Cryotherapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers and Infrared Saunas. Their services aim to boost performance and recovery in a professional and safe setting with a customer satisfaction rate of over 92% (4.8 rating).
Formation Fitness in Dubai Marina offers an innovative approach to fitness through cutting-edge technology and wellness solutions. Their fitness offerings range from an AI bike workout that adjusts resistance in real time, to providing relief through PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) technology via misting water vapour mists.
Wellness offerings from their wellness offerings are equally impressive, focusing on the prevention of injury, illness and aging with treatments such as their ice bath therapy. Other services offered include cooling ice packs to reduce lactic acid build up as well as PEMF mats that relax nervous systems, improve circulation and facilitate healing.
Remedy Place stands out as an anomaly within the biohacking market by operating at an accessible end but still offering top-tier experience and results. They achieve this via an engaging interior design concept called Wabi-Sabi that aligns every element from meditation cushions to training equipment in one cohesive visual. They offer training and recovery services as well as private spa suites offering ice bath and magnesium wrap experiences – an offering which only adds to their already impressive credentials.
