Nevada state
officials have closed the Las Vegas cryotherapy business where an employee died
reportedly after freezing to death in a cryotherapy chamber last week.
According to state authorities, the spas were not licensed by the city, county or state to perform procedures.
Rejuvenice employee
Chelsea Ake, 24, was trapped in the chamber for at least 10 hours. Cryotherapy involves
standing in a “cryosauna” or “cryochamber” with dry air that is cooled to below
-240 degrees Farenheit.
The business did not
have an active workers’ compensation policy and a stop work order was issued
Tuesday for both of their locations, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
No cause or manner of
death has been issued for Ake.
According to the
Review-Journal, the Nevada State Board of Cosmetology inspectors planned to
visit the two Rejuvenice locations Tuesday afternoon to determine whether
unlicensed services were being provided to clients.
