How It Works

It is critical that you thoroughly read, understand and comply with the following safety procedures and instructions. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

DO NOT USE THE FLOATATION TANKS IF:

If an Inception approved and qualified person has not shown you how to properly use and operate the float tank.

You are currently under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or illegal substances.

You are injured, have open or bleeding wounds, or have any communicable skin or other medical conditions.

You suffer from incontinence, nausea, epilepsy, and/or high blood pressure and are currently not properly medicated and/or medically treated, and/or have not consulted with and received written medical authorization from your doctor.

You are medically advised not to float.

You are not confident of being able to independently maneuver safely into and out of the tanks due to lack of personal mobility.

You are under 18 years old and have not obtained and presented written parental consent to and received consent from a qualified Inception supervisor.

You received a tattoo within the past 10 days.

You have recently colored your hair and when you wash and/or dry it with a towel, the color bleeds. If so, please reschedule your float as this will bleed into the water and you will be subject to additional charges for tank cleansing, refilling and replacing the towel.

INCEPTION AMENITIES AND WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:

Inception provides the following amenities:

• Earplugs
• Towel (If you need more than one towel, we ask that you bring an additional one)
• Shampoo
• Body Wash
• Hair Dryer

You may wish to bring personal hygiene items such as:

• Personal wash cloth or shower loofa
• Flip flops or shower slippers
• Contact lens case and solution
• Hairbrush and/or comb
• Deodorant, lotion, hair products, etc.
• Make-Up
• Any other personal toiletries, shower products, or pampering conveniences of your own (none of which can be used while inside the float tank)

BEFORE USING THE FLOAT TANK:

You will experience your float session in a private room with personal shower and dressing area. We ask that you use the restroom prior to beginning your session as tank cleansing and refilling for any reason is subject to additional charges. Only drinking water is permitted inside the floatation rooms; drinking, eating and/or smoking within the tank is prohibited.

Once in your room, remove all clothing (use of clean swimwear allowed if you prefer), jewelry, hair accessories and contact lenses. You will first take a pre-float shower using only shampoo and body wash, as well as any facial cleanser or makeup remover of your own. Please make sure to thoroughly rinse all products off your body, face and hair. All conditioners, oils, lotions, hair products, etc. may only be used after you have completed your float session. After your shower, dry your hands and fit the earplugs to create a water-tight seal. EAR PLUGS ARE RESUABLE, SAVE THEM FOR FUTURE FLOATS OR ALLOW US TO LABLE AND FILE THEM AT THE CENTER FOR YOU. Earplugs are not mandatory for floating but can make your experience much more comfortable and prevent mineral buildup within the ear canals.

The high concentration of Epsom salt may cause slight itchiness at first. If you have just shaved, waxed or have any cuts or scratches, before entering the tank dry your skin thoroughly and apply a thin layer of water-based healing ointment.
