Originally developed in France, Cryoskin is an umbrella term for the elimination of fat cells through the concentrated application of cold and heat, a process known as apoptosis (or, “programmed cell death”). The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and uses a wand-like instrument to glide over target problem areas. 

The Peltier Effect gives Cryoskin precise temperature control creating the perfect conditions to reduce fat without damaging the surrounding tissue. 

The body calls on the lymphatic system to send macrophages (large white blood cells) to come and ‘eat-up’ the fat debris after the cold temperature has destroyed the fat cell. 

Cold temperatures, when applied to fat cells, trigger apoptosis – also known as “programmed cell death” – a process which occurs naturally in the body all the time. With the application of sub-zero temperatures, CryoSlimming® is able to induce apoptosis to target fat cells and eliminate body fat. We use this science to achieve incredible results. 

Cryoskin is painless, with some clients describing it as rather pleasant. Often, clients fall asleep during treatment.  

Both of these treatments use the same Cryoskin device; however, the procedure for each treatment uses different techniques, timeframes, and temperatures that target different layers of the skin producing different outcomes or results. CryoToning® is designed to address loose skin, dimpling/cellulite, and signs of aging. CryoSlimming® is designed to target localized fat reduction.

CryoToning® works by utilizing cold temperatures (-2°C) which are applied with a wand like instrument in the desired treatment area. The cold “toning” strokes are followed by the technician’s hand (which is warm), this causes the blood vessels to alternate between constriction and dilation in the dermis. This technique improves blood flow and brings oxygen to the area (microcirculation). The toning process allows the blood vessels to deliver fresh oxygenated blood to the other cells in the dermis which boosts collagen and elastin production and improves the quality of these fibers. This helps build up the skins structure, making it appear smoother and tighter. The same process is used for CryoFacials; however, temperatures and timeframes differ.

CryoSlimming® works by utilizing hot and cold temperatures. The process starts off with the technician warming the treatment area using the warm wand setting (+25°C). This initial step brings blood to the surface and prepares the fat cells for the cooling phase. Next, there is an immediate controlled drop in the temperature (-4°C). Using a massage technique, the technician is able to get deep into the hypodermis layer of the skin where the stubborn subcutaneous fat lives. Apoptosis is triggered, or programmed cell death at which the fat cells can no longer sustain life. The sequence of using heat, then cold is called “thermal shock” which ensures the destruction of fat cells. Lastly, the heating sequence brings the area back to temperature for client comfort. Treatment is followed by a massage to send the broken down fat cells towards the nearest lymph nodes. The lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system and act as little washing machines to flush all the toxins and waste out of the body, including these broken-down fat cells.

There are generally no side effects apart from the amount you urinate which can increase slightly over the next 3 days following a CryoSlimming® session. Frequent urination is due to the fat cells being flushed out of the lymphatic system. Clients may also experience slight swelling, localized redness and/or itching in the treatment area that typically subsides within the hour following treatment.

Cryoskin uses science that works with your body’s natural systems. The sessions are very safe, non-invasive and are even considered holistic.  

CryoSlimming® lasts 26-40 minutes depending on the area. CryoToning® and CryoFacials last roughly 30 minutes. Your visit may take up to 1 hour in total.

Results are generally visible from the first to third session and often are very encouraging. Noticeable results depend on how much fat mass is present initially and how committed you are to the process, a person with a smaller mass may start to see/feel results faster than someone with a larger mass. However, it should be noted that the best results appear from 14 days to 4 weeks after the start of a session and extend for several months after the end of session. Each body is unique in the rate of which the lymphatic system expels the destroyed fat cells.

CryoSlimming® results are permanent, the destroyed fat cells will not return. The number of fat cells in your body remains constant throughout your adult life and weight gain or loss occurs by increasing or decreasing the size of the existing fat cells. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise is ideal to avoid remaining fat cells from expanding.

CroToning® results can be maintained if you are living a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise. Keep in mind that maintenance sessions may be necessary as the aging process continues. CryoFacial results are not permanent, maintenance sessions are recommended. CryoFacial results are cumulative; the more sessions that are done initially, the better the results & the longer they last. Maintenance sessions for facials are recommended every 4-6 weeks depending on age and genetics.

• Individuals with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle looking to lose the stubborn fat that does not improve with diet and exercise alone. 
• Individuals under 35 BMI. You can determine your BMI by searching for a BMI calculator on Google. 
• Individuals who have pinchable subcutaneous fat (“pinch an inch”) 
• Individuals with cellulite. 
• Individuals with loose skin, or skin lacking elasticity/evenness in tone. 
• Individuals with signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, sagging etc.) 

Slimming treatments can be done once every 2 weeks, we do not want to overload the lymphatic system with cellular debris (dead fat cells). Toning treatments and facials can be done once a week.

• Cryoskin costs less than half the price of CoolSculpting. 
• CoolSculpting averages 20% fat loss whereas Cryoskin averages 38% fat loss in the treated area.
• Cryoskin offers a CryoFacial option, CoolSculpting does not. 
• Cryoskin offers a CryToning option which treats cellulite and tightens the skin, CoolSculpting does not. 
• CoolSculpting can be painful (pain and numbness) and may create unevenness called “shelving” (fat collecting in other areas due to the suction.) Cryoskin is pain free and does not create “shelving”.  
• CoolSculpting uses a strong suction. Cryoskin uses a wand.
• Cryoskin results can start to show after only a few sessions, as with CoolSculpting results can take 3 to 4 months to show.  
• Procedure length with Cryoskin is much shorter (20-40 mins) than with CoolSculpting (1-3 hours.)

CryoFacial: Face, Neck

A Cryoskin Facial is a 30 minute session that utilizes cold temperatures to treat the face and neck. CryoFacials can help to improve your complexion, exfoliate dead skin cells, increase collagen and elastin production, tighten, reduce pore size, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Clients love the “lifting effect” the CryoFacial gives. This is a great option if you are looking to avoid injections or surgery. 3-7 initial weekly sessions are recommended with maintenance sessions as needed (typically, 1 session every 4-6 weeks) depending on age and genetics. 

• Wear a low cut/stretchy shirt during your appointment for better access to the neck area.
• Arrive with little to no makeup if possible.
• Avoid using glycolic acid, salicylic acid or retinol face/neck products 24 hours before and after your appointment as this can cause possible irritation. 
• CryoFacials can be done if a client has had Botox or Dermal Fillers in the face, however; there is a waiting period of 14 days after initial Botox injections and 30 days of initial Filler injections. 

Yes! The legs count as one area. The session time is divided in between each leg. This is the same protocol for arms as well. 

As the fat is cooled, blood vessels expand (aka vasodilation) and collagen production is stimulated, breaking down the fibers that cause cellulite dimpling.  

By implementing a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise and by drinking plenty of water daily. Other lymphatic drainage modalities can be beneficial to rid the body of dead fat cells, we will discuss these modalities on the day of treatment. 

-See before and after care instructions below.

Follow these instructions for optimal CryoSlimming® and/or Laser Lipo results: 

• Clients cannot have any sugars or carbs for at least two to three hours pre- and two to three hours post-treatment. 
• Avoid trans-fat, fried foods, processed foods, inflammatory oils, added sugars, artificial sweeteners & sugary drinks throughout the entirety of treatment.
• Avoid spicy food on the day of treatment. 
• Limit alcohol intake during the entirety of Cryoskin and/or Laser Lipo treatment sessions, especially 24 hours before and after a session.
• Drink plenty of water during the entirety of Cryoskin and/or Laser Lipo treatment, especially the day before and after a session (minimum of 64 ounces a day.)  In general, you should drink 1/2 your body weight in water a day. For example: If you weigh 150 lbs. you would drink 75 ounces of water per day.
• Exercising or use of a sauna directly before a  session is not recommended; however, exercising or use of a sauna after a session is highly encouraged to help with lymphatic drainage. Sweating is a great way to purge the dead fat cells and toxins from your body to maximize results.
