CryoSkin FAQs

Please pay attention to the important information in preparation for your SLIMMING appointment for maximum results:

Please DO NOT EAT or DRINK any sugar, foods that contain sugar or carbohydrates that convert into sugar (i.e. fruit, juices, white bread, white rice, pasta, etc.) 2 hours prior to your appointment time.

Try to avoid working out or doing anything that increases your body temperature at least ONE hour before your session.

Within 8 hours prior to your appointment, consume at least 64 ounces of water.

Within 12 hours after your appointment, consume an additional 64 ounces of water.

Please arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.

Is it safe?

The device is very safe. The cooling system is controlled by an electronic temperature sensor located in the processing head of the device and the temperature is controlled in real time by a curve and figures displayed in real time on the screen. In the event of a malfunction, the device alerts the operator by sounding a tone and displaying an error message.

How do you define a session? Is it multiple body parts?

The best way to define a session is it is always advisable to treat on the upper OR lower body in a session. For example, legs is one session, or love handles is one session.

How does it work?

The machine itself functions by a Peltier effect (thermoelectric cooling) regulated by a hydraulic system which ensures a very high inertia which is necessary for the correct application of the treatment in a minimum amount of time. These characteristics, which are very difficult to obtain, make it possible to enact a very rapid cooling of the fat tissues while avoiding the risk of lesions of the skin tissue due to an application that is too long. The principle of the treatment is to lower the temperature of the fat cells enough to cause what is called the phenomenon of apoptosis. This phenomenon is triggered when the temperature of the fat tissues is between 17° and 12° and consists of a self-programming of the death of these cells.

What are the benefits?

The major benefit sought is a large decrease in fat mass. Subjects tested were measured and received results of between 15% and 40% which was visualized by CT scans. On the other hand, it must not be forgotten that the apparatus is not only capable of emitting cold but also of heat and of causing the two to alternate, thus causing "thermal shock". This method of thermal shock is medically recognized to be particularly restorative for tissues by a significant increase of local microcirculation and collagen.

How does it feel?

The feeling is rather pleasant at the start of the treatment, which is generally done with a short period of skin warming and a gradual but rapid decrease of the temperature. At the end of the treatment, the thermal shock appears very quickly, which gives a feeling of warmth and lightness at the same time.

Who shouldn't do it?

There are few contraindications to treatment. But we must still be vigilant to some pathologies:

Raynaud's syndrome

Allergy to cold

Pregnant woman

Strong diabetes

Cancer

How often can I do a Slimming or Toning Treatment?

The usual frequency is 1 treatment every 15 days (for slimming treatments). There is a physiological reason for this: when apoptosis occurs and fat cells die, waste is formed. This will be eliminated by natural routes (blood, lymphatic system, and then urine). Metabolism must, therefore, be allowed to evacuate this waste without overloading the circuits.

Toning treatments can be performed once every week.

How often can I do a CryoFacial Treatment?

For clients under 45: 1x per week for first 5 sessions, then maintain as needed

For clients over 45: 1x per 3-4 days for first 5 sessions, then maintain as needed

What do I need to bring?

Nothing. If anything, the best possible diet and lifestyle to accompany the treatments (drink plenty of water in particular).

Do I lose weight with this treatment?

It is very common that there is a loss of weight during the treatment. This is due both to the loss of fat mass but also to the drainage techniques (exercise, etc) and the diet and lifestyle required.

What is the difference between this and other Cryo treatments?

There are other manual cryotherapy machines. But tests and experience have shown that no other machine is currently capable of an inertia as strong as the Cryoskin. This inertia is due to the fact that the device does not only produce cold. It works by heat exchange with the body and the ability to descend very strongly and very quickly the temperature of the tissues by absorption of calories, accumulation of calories and evacuation by a system equipped with a ventilated hydraulic radiator.

How quickly will I see results?

The first results are generally visible from the first session and often very encouraging. However, it should be noted that the best results appear from 15 days to 3 weeks after the start of treatment and extend for several months after the end of treatment.

How long do those results last?

Depending on the individual and depending also on their lifestyle and diet, the results last several months or several years. It is advisable to practice 2 or 3 sessions 6 months after the end of treatment to maintain results.

What is unique about the Facial treatment using Cryoskin?

Cryolipolysis is the use of below-zero temperatures to eliminate fat in the body whereas thermotherapy is the use of cold temperatures to rejuvenate and smooth the skin. Used for massaging the face and the body, CRYOSKIN delivers temperatures between -2°C to +4°C with the following effects:

Accelerates biochemical reactions, increasing the oxygen and nutrient supply to the tissue, obtaining a draining effect.

Stimulates the production of collagen, improving the elasticity of the skin.

Firms muscles which retract with the cold.

Lasts for several months with only a few sessions.

The CRYOSKIN is the only device on the market offering facial rejuvenation treatments.

How old do I have to be to receive treatment?

15 years or older

Why do you need the gel?

The gel has been specially designed to retain all its qualities of gliding and protection from -30 ° up to + 60 °. Apart from the fact that the treatment head will have difficulty sliding on the skin, the heat and especially the cold will be much less penetrating and the risks of spontaneous freezing of the water contained in the surface tissues will be increased, therefore increasing the risk of alteration of these tissues. The treatment will thus be much less effective and much less pleasant or even unpleasant. The results will not be there and this is one of the few causes of failure.

Why is this effective for Cellulite?

The treatment causes vasodilation in the blood vessels. This increases blood flow which results in increased collagen production. Collagen helps to break down cellulite.

Is it okay to treat people who have an open wound?

No. Unless you cover the wound with some sort of plaster. The reason for this is not to pass bodily fluid onto the Wand. If you cover the wound, then treat through the cover the treatment should help to heal due to increased blood flow to the area.

Is it okay to treat people after wax/laser hair removal?

It’s best to wait 1 week after these treatments to make sure the treated areas are fully healed.

Why can you not eat sugar for 2 hours after?

To get the best results following a Cryoskin session, you should not eat sugar 2 hours before and after the session. The reason is sugar is a strong power source for fat cells. It’s factual, all nutritionists would attest that to succeed a diet slimming, sugar is the first thing to stop. As you know, the cold weakens and retracts the adipocyte but if you eat sugar, that will give it back immediate energy so the apoptosis effect will be less efficient or even could be canceled. Be careful, when we talk about sugar, we talk about all kind of sugars as slow sugar (pasta, rice, bread, cereals…) and of course fast-acting sugar. If possible, the client could avoid all kind of sugar for 4/5 hours before and after the Cryoskin session but it’s a maximum. 2 hours is the usual recommended time to get results.

If I buy a cryoskin session or package, can I return it?
