I'd tried almost every acne cream before coming to MediGlo. Dr. Kour actually explained why my skin was breaking out instead of just prescribing something — within two months it had calmed down more than it had in years.
Heat It Up, Cool It Down: Recovery That Works Both Sides
Heat. Cold. One Guided Session.
Contrast therapy pairs Mediglo's far infrared sauna with its cold plunge in one guided, supervised session. Designed under Dr. Jaspreet Kour's clinical oversight and delivered on our dedicated recovery floor on Golf Course Road, Sector 55, it's a faster way to feel the benefits of both heat and cold.
What is Contrast Therapy
Contrast therapy is the practice of moving between heat and cold within a single session, letting your circulation, nervous system and muscles respond to both extremes in quick succession. Athletes and physiotherapists have used sauna to cold plunge sequencing for decades because the shift itself does the work: vessels widen in the heat and pulled tight in the cold, and that pumping action moves blood and lymph through tired tissue far more actively than either temperature alone. At Mediglo, we bring this together using the same far infrared sauna and cold plunge already trusted on our recovery floor, sequenced into one guided protocol rather than two separate visits.
What makes it worth doing at a clinic rather than at home is the structure. Every contrast therapy session at Mediglo starts with a quick assessment so the heat and cold cycles are matched to you, not applied on a generic timer. That matters on Golf Course Road, where a lot of our regulars are training for marathons, recovering from long gym blocks, or simply spending ten hours a day at a desk in Gurgaon and Delhi NCR’s fast-moving professional world. A well-sequenced session gives their body a genuine reset rather than a rough approximation of one.
This is also where Mediglo’s integrated recovery floor shows its value. Because the sauna, the cold plunge, Normatec compression, red light therapy and more all sit under one roof on Sector 55, our team can slot contrast therapy into a broader plan, sequence it safely around your other sessions, and keep everything under Dr. Kour’s clinical oversight. She personally designs the protocols used across the floor, and trained wellness professionals run each session within that framework, so you always know the plan behind what’s happening.

How It Works
A step-by-step look at what happens during your session, and why a medically supervised protocol matters here.
Initial Assessment
A quick check-in with our team covers your health history and comfort with heat and cold, so your rounds and timing are set appropriately from the start.
Heat Phase
You begin in the far infrared sauna, where deep penetrating warmth opens circulation, relaxes muscles and starts the detoxifying sweat that far infrared heat is known for.
Cold Phase
You then move into the cold plunge, kept between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius, for a short, tolerable immersion that tightens blood vessels and sharpens mental clarity through a rush of endorphins.
Guided Rounds
Our team walks you through two to three full heat to cold cycles, timing each transition and checking in throughout, so the session stays both effective and comfortable from start to finish.
Who It’s For
Contrast therapy suits anyone who wants their body to recover faster without adding another hour to their week. Runners and gym goers in Gurgaon use it to bounce back between hard training sessions, while professionals along Golf Course Road often book it simply to clear their head and loosen up after long hours at a desk. It also works well for people who already enjoy the sauna or the cold plunge individually and are curious what the two feel like together, guided and paced by someone else instead of self-timed. As with any heat and cold exposure, guests with heart conditions, significant hypertension or cold sensitivity are asked to mention this at their assessment first, purely so the session can be shaped around what’s comfortable and appropriate for them.
How the Options Compare
How Contrast Therapy compares with the other recovery modalities available at Mediglo.
| Parameter | Contrast Therapy | Far Infrared Sauna | Cold Plunging Therapy | Normatec Lymphatic Compression |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Alternates heat and cold in one session for a circulatory pump effect | Deep, steady far infrared heat for detox and relaxation | Cold immersion alone to reduce inflammation and sharpen focus | Sequential pneumatic compression to move fluid through the lymphatic system |
| Session Length | Around 30 to 40 minutes across several rounds | 20 to 40 minutes | 2 to 10 minutes depending on tolerance | Typically 20 to 30 minutes |
| Best For | Faster, fuller recovery than either therapy gives alone | Detox, muscle relaxation, steady stress relief | Quick reduction in soreness and a mental reset | Swelling, heaviness and post exercise or post travel legs |
| How It Feels | An energising back and forth between deep warmth and a brisk cold rush | Warm, enveloping and gently sweat inducing | Bracing at first, then calm and clear headed | Gentle, rhythmic squeezing, often described as relaxing |
| Frequency | 2 to 3 times a week for active recovery | 2 to 3 times a week | 1 to 4 times a week depending on training load | As needed, pairs well with other sessions on the same visit |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does contrast therapy hurt or feel uncomfortable?
The heat is deeply relaxing and the cold is brisk but brief, and most guests find the contrast between the two invigorating rather than uncomfortable, especially with a trained team pacing each round.
How many sessions will I need?
Many guests feel looser and more energised after a single session, though a regular rhythm of 2 to 3 times a week tends to deliver the most noticeable recovery benefits over time.
How soon will I notice benefits?
Most people feel a difference in soreness, circulation and mental clarity right after their first session, with cumulative benefits building over several weeks of regular visits.
Is contrast therapy safe, and should I check with a doctor first?
It’s a well established recovery practice and generally very safe, though anyone with a heart condition, significant hypertension or cold sensitivity should mention it at their assessment so we can tailor the session appropriately.

Pricing is confirmed after your consultation at Mediglo, once we understand your goals and how contrast therapy fits into your broader recovery plan.

Yes, contrast therapy pairs especially well with Normatec compression or red light therapy, and our team can sequence your visit so everything fits comfortably into one session.

See What People Say About Us
I was nervous about looking "done" after Botox, but the results were subtle and completely natural. Friends noticed I looked well-rested, not different.
My hair fall had gotten so bad I avoided tying it up in public. Three months into treatment at MediGlo, I'm finally seeing new growth along my hairline.
The pigmentation on my cheeks had gotten worse every year. The team took the time to actually diagnose what type of melasma I had before starting treatment, which no one had done before.
