Our Treatments

The machine is very well manufactured by a company which makes over 40 different medical devices and has been doing so for the last 70 years. It uses an effect called the “Peltier Effect” to precisely control the temperature of the Wand (how the cold/heat is applied to the body).

The treatment works by triggering the phenomenon of apoptosis of the fat cells. This is achieved without risk to the other tissues (in particular muscular tissue) by the fact that the intracellular electrolytes of the fat cell are the first to crystallize in the cold before all the others. This crystallization is information brought to the cell to program self destruction. One could say that cryotherapy is a homeopathic treatment specific to the fat cell. (Homeopathy consists in inducing information to certain molecules).

There are few contraindications to treatment.

The device is very safe. In terms of programming and electronics, it is managed by a computerized Windows system. 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.

The feeling is rather pleasant thanks to 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.

A survey of the machine’s manufacturer found that:

• 53% found the treatment comfortable
• 35% found the treatment relaxing
• 12% found the treatment bearable

No. (100 people tested + over 300 machines in use in France)

The usual frequency is 1 treatment every 15 days (for CryoSlimming treatments). There is a physiological reason for this: when apoptosis occurs and some 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. CryoToning treatments can be performed once every week.

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.

No. The body should only have so much cold at a time! For detailed on time between Cryoskin and other services refer to our care information page.

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

It’s best to wait one week after these treatments to make sure the treated areas are fully healed and bodily fluid won’t get on the wand.

The only treatment will will perform on pregnant or breastfeeding client is the CryoToning Facial.

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.

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.

By implementing a healthy lifestyle and a good diet first. But also by the addition of a powerful drainage treatment in depth.

The programmed temperatures depend on the desired effects and the zones being worked on. When the effect sought is more superficial (for example to cause hypervascularization of the epidermis and the dermis), the temperatures employed will be cold but positive because the tissue is more superficial and does not require that the phenomenon of apoptosis be caused, but rather an acceleration of microcirculation and collagen production. On the contrary, when the desired effect is deeper (belly fat layer, for example), the temperatures employed will be aimed at causing apoptosis by crystallization of intracellular electrolytes and therefore the temperatures employed will be largely negative.

We don’t recommend the CryoSlimming treatment for anyone above 30 BMI. Treatment would be too difficult to reach the whole area and they won’t be able to bear it for 5-6 hours. The liver and kidney may not be able process that level of waste. We recommend trying dieting first.

You can check your BMI with the NIH BMI calculator.

The client has to wait 3 months in case there are any medical complications. Otherwise, it could affect the healing of the hernia.

No, but the approval process is in the works.
