Cryotherapy, IV Therapy, and Longevity Services 2026
The biohacking revolution has arrived in the Hamptons with full force. What began as Silicon Valley executives tracking sleep scores has evolved into a sophisticated wellness category now valued at over $28 billion globally. The East End has responded with cutting-edge facilities offering cryotherapy, IV infusions, NAD+ protocols, contrast therapy, and recovery technologies that would have seemed like science fiction just five years ago.

According to McKinsey research, 57% of consumers now prioritize “aging well” significantly more than five years ago. Furthermore, 55% are willing to spend over $100 monthly on health optimization. This shift from reactive healthcare to proactive longevity explains why biohacking has moved from fringe experimentation to mainstream wellness infrastructure.
What Is Biohacking and Why Does It Matter
Biohacking encompasses any practice that optimizes human performance through data-driven, targeted interventions. The category ranges from simple habits like tracking sleep patterns to advanced protocols involving peptides, NAD+ therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen. What unifies these approaches is the philosophy of taking proactive control over biological function rather than waiting for problems to emerge.
For the Hamptons demographic—executives, entrepreneurs, and high performers who consider their bodies essential business infrastructure—biohacking offers measurable optimization rather than vague wellness promises. The appeal lies in quantifiable outcomes: improved HRV scores, enhanced recovery metrics, and biomarkers that demonstrate actual physiological improvement.
The Shift from Anti-Aging to Longevity
The conversation has evolved dramatically. “Anti-aging” implied cosmetic concealment of aging signs. “Longevity” focuses on extending healthspan—the years spent in excellent physical and mental condition. According to the Global Wellness Institute, this paradigm shift is driving demand for services that address root causes rather than surface symptoms.
Subsequently, the Hamptons has attracted practitioners who understand that affluent clients want evidence, not promises. They want protocols backed by peer-reviewed research, outcomes tracked through biomarkers, and experiences that deliver measurable results alongside premium environments.
WAVE Social Wellness: The Hamptons’ First Social Recovery Destination
WAVE Social Wellness represents the most significant biohacking development in recent Hamptons history. This 4,000-square-foot Southampton facility opened in early 2025 as the East End’s first social wellness destination—combining cutting-edge recovery technology with community-driven experiences.
Co-founders Lisa Zaloga and Stephanie Esposito designed the space around a simple insight: wellness doesn’t have to be isolating. Their Southampton location features a 15+ person stadium-seating infrared sauna, social cold plunge suites, and programming designed for shared experience rather than solitary treatment.
Recovery Technologies at WAVE
The facility offers comprehensive biohacking modalities under one roof. The Cold Plunge Suite provides self-guided and instructor-led immersion experiences with pools ranging from beginner-friendly 50°F to advanced 39-42°F temperatures. Contrast therapy pairs cold plunge with infrared sauna in a private suite for up to three people.
Additionally, WAVE introduced AirWAVE—the Hamptons’ first hyperbaric oxygen chamber—providing pressurized oxygen therapy for enhanced cellular recovery. The LemiFloat bed combines heated chromotherapy water massage with therapeutic bodywork for signature treatments like CalmWAVE and DetoxDrift. Meanwhile, the 1,000-square-foot movement studio hosts SoundWAVE sound baths, infrared yoga, and breathwork sessions.
Location: 15B Hill Street, Southampton
Memberships: Social ($295/month), Recovery ($395/month), Longevity ($595/month)

WAVE also maintains their original Sag Harbor location focused on private treatments including massage, cryotherapy, facials, lymphatic drainage, and body contouring.
Organic Edge: Holistic Detoxification and Body Optimization
Organic Edge has operated from Water Mill since 2020, establishing itself as the Hamptons’ destination for targeted cryotherapy and detoxification protocols. Founded by Shannon Conklin—a National Board Certified Colon Hydrotherapist with 13+ years of holistic health experience—the facility takes a different approach than athletic recovery centers.
The signature services address body composition and internal cleansing rather than purely athletic recovery. Targeted cryotherapy uses precision cold application for fat reduction, skin tightening, collagen stimulation, and cellulite elimination. Unlike whole-body cryotherapy, this approach allows practitioners to sculpt specific areas based on individual goals.
Services and Protocols
The Infrared Wellness Pod combines far, mid, and near infrared technology with vibratory lymphatic drainage massage, aromatherapy, and pink Himalayan salt air. This multi-modal approach addresses weight loss, skin purification, cardiovascular health, stress reduction, and pain management simultaneously.
Colon hydrotherapy remains the cornerstone service, delivered with FDA-registered equipment in a private, spa-like setting. Conklin’s personal journey—losing her father to colon cancer at 49—informs her mission of helping clients understand digestive health as foundational wellness. Sessions start at $160, with packages available for ongoing protocols.
Furthermore, Organic Edge has expanded to include IV therapy through IV Drips Hamptons, acupuncture via Healing Points Acupuncture, EmSculpt Neo for body contouring, and red light therapy. This positions the facility as a comprehensive optimization center rather than single-service provider.

Mobile IV Therapy: Concierge Recovery
The Hamptons lifestyle often involves unpredictable schedules, estate locations far from commercial centers, and preferences for privacy. Mobile IV therapy services have emerged to address these realities, bringing nutrient infusions directly to homes, hotels, and event venues.
Leading IV Providers
IV Drips Hamptons offers concierge hydration and wellness services throughout the East End. Their registered nurse team administers custom vitamin drips, NAD+ therapy, detox infusions, and athletic recovery protocols wherever clients prefer to receive treatment. The service particularly appeals to clients managing demanding social calendars who need rapid recovery between events.
The I.V. Doc provides mobile IV therapy across the Hamptons with a comprehensive treatment menu. Options range from basic hydration ($150-$250) to specialized protocols including NAD+ infusions for cellular energy, Myers Cocktails for general wellness, and immunity boost formulations during cold and flu season. Treatment sessions typically last 30-45 minutes with effects often felt immediately.
NuHydration emphasizes integrative and organic approaches that align with health-conscious Hamptons values. Their medical staff conducts pre-treatment consultations to understand individual medical history and wellness goals before recommending specific formulations. The service covers Southampton, Sag Harbor, East Hampton, Amagansett, Montauk, and surrounding areas.
Understanding IV Therapy Protocols
IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream, bypassing digestive absorption limitations. This allows higher concentrations of nutrients to reach cells immediately. Common protocols include:
- Myers Cocktail: The foundational wellness infusion combining B vitamins, Vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium for energy and immune support
- NAD+ Therapy: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide supports cellular energy production, cognitive function, and metabolic health—increasingly popular for longevity protocols
- Glutathione Infusions: Master antioxidant for detoxification and cellular repair
- Athletic Recovery: Customized blends with amino acids, magnesium, and zinc for post-workout restoration
- Immunity Boost: High-dose Vitamin C with B-complex during cold and flu season
Prices typically range from $150-$500 depending on formulation complexity and NAD+ concentration. Mobile service fees add $75-$100 for at-home treatment.
The Recovery Lounge: Nordic Contrast Therapy
The Recovery Lounge positions itself as the premier contrast recovery studio in Long Island and the Hamptons. Their core offering centers on the Nordic Cycle—a protocol involving 20-minute hot sauna sessions followed immediately by 2-5 minute cold water immersion, repeated for two complete cycles over approximately one hour.
This contrast therapy approach stimulates the circulatory system, reduces inflammation, and creates the neurochemical cascade that produces the characteristic “afterglow” of combined heat and cold exposure. The facility describes the experience as initially intense for newcomers but ultimately producing “euphoric feelings” that drive return visits.
Biohacking Trends Shaping the Hamptons in 2026
Several macro trends are influencing how biohacking services develop on the East End:
Nervous System Regulation
The wellness industry has discovered what trauma-informed practitioners have long understood: chronic stress undermines virtually every biological system. Consequently, modalities addressing nervous system reset—cold exposure, breathwork, sound therapy, vagal toning—are commanding increasing attention. WAVE’s sound bath programming and contrast therapy directly address this demand.
Bio-Stacking Protocols
Rather than isolated treatments, advanced practitioners now “stack” complementary modalities for synergistic effects. A typical stack might combine PEMF therapy, cryotherapy, and IV infusion in a single session—each treatment amplifying the others. This approach explains why facilities are expanding from single-service models to comprehensive wellness centers.
Wearable Integration
Oura rings, WHOOP bands, and continuous glucose monitors generate data that informs treatment decisions. Forward-thinking providers are beginning to interpret client wearable data to customize protocols—adjusting cold exposure duration based on HRV trends or timing IV therapy around training schedules. This personalization distinguishes sophisticated biohacking from generic wellness services.
Longevity Residences
According to the Global Wellness Summit’s 2026 trend report, a new category of “longevity residences” is embedding preventive medicine, advanced diagnostics, and biohacking directly into residential communities. While this trend has yet to fully materialize in the Hamptons, the foundation—wealthy health-conscious consumers, available real estate, proximity to Manhattan specialists—suggests future development.
Choosing the Right Biohacking Services
The expanding biohacking landscape requires discernment. Not all services deliver equal value, and some protocols require medical supervision that others don’t provide.
Credential Verification
IV therapy should always be administered by licensed medical professionals—registered nurses or higher. Cryotherapy facilities should maintain proper safety protocols and equipment certification. Colon hydrotherapy practitioners should hold I-ACT (International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy) certification. Don’t hesitate to ask about credentials and training.
Protocol Customization
Generic treatments deliver generic results. The best providers conduct intake consultations, review health history, and customize protocols based on individual goals. If a facility offers only standardized packages without personalization, consider whether that approach serves your specific needs.
Evidence Base
Some biohacking modalities have stronger research support than others. Cold exposure, sauna therapy, and IV nutrient infusions rest on substantial evidence. Other practices remain more experimental. Reputable providers can explain the research supporting their protocols and set realistic expectations about outcomes.
