Frequently Asked Questions
What are the side effects?
There are generally no side effects apart from the amount you urinate to increase slightly over the 3 days following the treatment along with the appearance of your urine in color.(This is normal as your body is getting rid of the fat cells) However, sometimes localized redness that disappears after a few hours.
Rarely some muscle soreness for 2 to 3 hours.
You may also be some itching, often due to the reactions of certain cosmetic products used by clients. (The reason we ask you to skip the lotions and perfumes.)
How quickly will I see results?
The first results are generally visible from the first session and often very encouraging. However, some clients will see results will continue to improve for up to 2 weeks.
How long do the 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 see how long treatments stay their best on you and engage in booster sessions.
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 absolutely necessary for the correct application of the treatment in a minimum 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 in a self-programming of the death of these cells.
The expected effect is usually rapid: part of the fat cells are destroyed during the session while the others will be eliminated within 2 to 3 weeks.
What are the benefits?
The major benefit sought is a large decrease in fat mass which has been 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 significant increase of local micro circulation and collagen.
Clinical studies have shown that this technology naturally destroys fat cells, but as with most techniques, the results vary from one individual to another.
How does it feel?
The treatment is painless, with some clients describing it as rather pleasant. This is due to the massage technique and the session beginning with skin warming descending into the gradual decrease of temperature.
Who shouldn’t have Cryoskin treatments?
Anyone with the conditions below should not do this treatment:
How often can I have the treatments?
Slimming treatments can be performed once every 2 weeks and lifting treatments can be performed every 7 days. There is a physiological reason for this: when apoptosis occurs and some fat cells die, waste is formed. The waste will be eliminated by natural routes (blood, lymphatic system, and the urine). Metabolism must therefore be allowed to evacuate this waste without overloading the system.
Can I workout before or after the treatments?
We don't recommend working out within 2 hours before a Slimming session as this can make it difficult to cool down, making the treatment less effective. Working out directly afterwards is fine.
What is the difference between this and other Cryotherapy treatments?
There are other manual cryotherapy machines. But tests and experience have shown that no other machine is currently capable of such dramatic results as the Cryoskin. These results are due to the fact that the device does not only produce cold but also heat. The exchange within these temperatures has a dramatic effect on the body’s tissues causing them to drop to 12 ° when fat tissues reach this temperature they die and are passed through the lymphatic system.
Why can I only have the CryoSlimming treatment every 2 weeks?
The natural destruction of fat cells will cause cell waste. This waste is passed through the body naturally, first through the blood then the lymphatic system and then urine and this process on average takes 2 weeks.
What happens if I have a session before the 2 week gap?
The results may be compromised by the natural cycle of waste disposal and thus increase the risk of clogging the pathways. This does not represent a significant risk but would compromise the results.
Why can I only have 2 areas done at the same time?
Again, to not overload the body’s elimination pathways. There is also strong internal cooling of the tissues and the treating of more zones at the same time could cause in extreme cases hypothermia and fatigue.
Do the legs count as 1 area or 2?
The legs would count as one area.
