Don't consume foods or beverages that contain sugar or carbohydrates for two hours before the procedure because it weakens the cells that store fat within your skin. We recommend staying still and not accumulating body heat the hour before your treatment because if your body temperature isn't normalized, it gives you less effective results. Consume at least 64 ounces of water 12 hours before your session begins.

We encourage you to drink 1/2 of your body weight (in ounces) of water each day after the treatment. Avoid sugars, such as carbohydrates and natural sugars (from fruits or alcohol), for five hours after the procedure. Continue to have a balanced diet and a regular exercise routine to attain the best results.

You’ll see visible slimming results after the first session. The complete results appear after 15 days to 3 weeks and continue to improve for months.

Your results are apparent on the skin for several months or years. The duration of your results will depend on your diet and exercise habits. We advise you to schedule up to 3 follow-up sessions six months after the procedure to keep a slim appearance.

Yes. You may get redness, muscle soreness, and itching. All symptoms fade within a few hours.

-We always recommend booking a free consultation prior to your first visit, and we will help you determine which Cryo Slimming treatments work best for you!

Cryo Sculpting is a new form of fat freezing and body contouring. We use the newest & most innovative cryo-aesthetics equipment currently available.

Utilizing our specialized equipment, liquid CO2 is instantly transformed into a dry gas. This hyper-cooled gas is sprayed on the treatment area in a high velocity. This allows us to achieve deeper penetration and faster cooling, overcoming the resistance of hardened fat cells.

This technique is safe, effective, and comfortable.

Liquid CO2 is carbon dioxide gas that is highly compressed and cooled to a liquid form.

Cryolipolysis® is a registered trademark of Zeltiq Aesthetics, Inc.

In simple terms, it’s a specific method of freezing fat cells below the skin’s surface (subcutaneous fat) in order to destroy them.

Prior to Cryo Sculpting, the most common types of fat-freezing treatments have been CoolSculpting®, CryoSkin & Cryo T-Shock.

CoolSculpting® is a registered trademark of Zeltiq Aesthetics, Inc.

CoolSculpting® charges per area of the body, and can be a minimum of $1000 for one (1) session to treat an area such as your stomach. To treat a similar area, Cryo Sculpting would be less than 1/3 of the cost!

CoolSculpting® uses applicators & suction to freeze fat. Cryo Sculpting is performed by spraying hyper-cooled CO2 (a dry gas) on the area in a high intensity. Because of this, we can reach more areas on the body than CoolSculpting® can.

On rare occasions CoolSculpting® can result in some delayed onset pain, typically beginning several days after treatment. This normally subsides within 1-2 weeks. In contrast, clients may actually feel more energetic after a Cryo Sculpting treatment.

In a very small number of cases, a CoolSculpting® treated area can harden into a butter stick-shaped lump (paradoxical adipose hyperplasia). This will never occur with Cryo Sculpting, since the treatment uses a spray-on application.

While very effective in freezing fat, CoolSculpting® treatments can feel uncomfortable to some due to the combination of suction and cold. In a Cryo Sculpting session, clients may experience being cold, but will not experience any discomfort.

CoolSculpting® treatments can range from 30-60 minutes. A single Cryo Sculpting session (area) is roughly 15 minutes on average, from start to finish.

With CoolSculpting®, results can be seen approximately 4 weeks to 4 months after treatment. With Cryo Sculpting, some may see results after the first treatment. For others, results can normally be seen within 7-21 days. Individual results may vary.

Cryo T-Shock and Cryoskin utilize a flat round applicator applied to skin by a technician. It is another form of fat freezing / CryoSlimming. The applicator is applied in massage-like manner over the treatment area. The applicator alternates between cold and warm temperatures.

Our Cryo Sculpting technology utilizes hyper-cooled gas that is sprayed onto the treatment area in a high velocity. Our process delivers a more targeted flow, the pressure is much higher, and the temperature of application is lower. This allows us to achieve deeper penetration and faster cooling, overcoming the resistance of hardened fat cells.

Cryo T-Shock and Cryoskin use gels on the treated area that allows the applicator to glide more smoothly over the treatment area. The gel is removed after the treatment.

Our Cryo Sculpting process does not utilize any gels.

Lipo (liposuction) is by far one of the best & fastest surgical fat removal procedures available. That said, it is impossible to compare lipo to Cryo Sculpting because they are completely different in nature (surgical vs non-surgical).

Cryo Sculpting is a fat-freezing treatment, and we utilize some of the most advanced equipment currently available. We freeze adipose tissue (fat just below the skin’s surface) during each treatment. The fat cells crystallize, permanently die, and flush out of the system over the course of several days to weeks/months.

So, the process removes fat cells, as does liposuction, but in a different, slower, yet non-surgical way.

Absolutely! Men and Women can benefit from any of our Cryo Sculpting treatments.

Yes, Cryo Sculpting (fat freezing) can be, and is regularly performed during the menstrual cycle / period.

Some women may retain water slightly before & during their cycle, and as such, may be more sensitive to the cold.

Additionally, there may be a tad more discomfort after the treatment due to a natural elevation in inflammatory cytokines (small secreted proteins) that occurs with a menstrual cycle.

No. Clients may feel cold, but should not experience any discomfort. Some clients will feel more energized after a Cryo Sculpting session.

Please wear loose clothing or underwear / bathing suit which allows complete access to treatment area.

This is especially important when the following areas are being treated:

• Lower tummy/stomach

• Back upper legs / thighs

• Outer & inner thighs

• Butt

• Be sure to wear or bring the appropriate clothing (see above for details)

• Do not wear / apply any creams in the treatment area

• Skin should be free of sweat (but don’t worry, we’ll dry you off)

• Increase water intake (preferably with lemon)

• If possible, avoid caffeine 1-2 hours prior to your treatment

• If possible, avoid doing anything to artificially increase body temp (no warm clothes)

• In cold climates please avoid using car seat heaters on the way to your appointment (if we’re treating glute or thighs)

• If possible, please avoid working out / exercise immediately before appointment

• Note any marks, scars, or sores in treatment area prior to treatment (We’ll also bring these to your attention)

Generally speaking, it’s a best-practice not to do anything to elevate your external body temperature prior to a Cryo Sculpting (fat-freezing) appointment.

Sometimes it just takes us a little longer to cool the treatment areas down to fat-freezing temps if the client does anything to elevate their external body temperature pre-appointment. The “What should I do to prepare” is a mostly a best-practices list.

But, we’ll still be able to treat you even if you do any of the things-to-avoid items above on the day of your treatment.

It depends on the area(s) being treated. We usually reserve 30 minutes for each appointment, where multiple areas can be treated during that time. Spray time per section of the treatment area is generally 3-5 minutes.

This really depends on the individual, and what type of treatment we’re doing.

For example if we’re doing some Cryo Sculpting (fat freezing) in the stomach/tummy area, some may see a result within a week of the first session. Sometimes, due to the inflammation & fat cell reduction (constriction) that results from the cold therapy, some may see some difference after the first session.

Much of the results also depend on the individual, their body, and their overall health habits. The better the individual takes care of themselves, the more likely the better result.

General rule of thumb is to plan to have at least 6 sessions over 2 months. If we don’t see trackable results within about 5 weeks and 3-4 treatments, we should take time to reassess the treatment protocols.

Much of this depends on how much reduction someone is hoping to achieve, and how well the individual takes care of themselves.

Also, everyone’s body responds to treatments differently. Some (the minority) experience loss within one week of the first treatment, others take more time.

Some areas (like chin, bra bulge) do reduce faster than other areas.

We recommend a minimum of 4-6 treatments per area, over 6-8 weeks, for noticeable/modest reduction. Changes can be, and usually are, subtle. Keep in mind that we’re freezing/killing subcutaneous fat (fat right below the skin) at each session, so it does come off in layers and not all at once

The more reduction desired, the more treatments that will be needed.

There are some rare cases where getting reduction is more difficult. People with subpar lymphatic systems, hypothyroidism, hormonal imbalances (especially due to pre/post-menopause), or some other type of underlying physical abnormality can prevent fat loss.

There are several types of tests that can help identify the above types of biological issues. The most common are blood tests, however, we also suggest that clients explore other options such as saliva and dried urine tests.

Cryo Sculpting does permanently freeze & kill existing fat cells.

Once fat cells are permanently killed/destroyed, generally speaking, they won’t return in that specific area.

Any remaining fat cells that have been shrunk but not killed can later re-enlarge and actually get bigger than they were before (assuming the individual does not maintain a healthy diet and exercise).

We recommend following these best practices & guidelines:

• Stay properly hydrated. Increase water intake and add lemon and/or apple cider vinegar if possible. Consider water alternatives, such as healthy electrolyte drinks

• Exercise daily for 15-30 minutes

• Massage the area. Optional: wear compression clothing if available

• Avoid sugars (especially fructose), refined grains (especially gluten), and chemically modified fats

• Limit high salt foods for 1-2 days post treatment

• Take Magnesium or Herbs such as Goldensea, Calendula, Echinacea, and Astragalus

• Do deep breathing exercises

• Perform dry brushing in sweeping motions, always toward the heart

The above are all known to promote healthy lymphatic drainage.

We generally recommend 4-7 days between Cryo Sculpting treatments.

Some treatments can be done more or less frequently, so please be sure to check with our staff for additional details.

Clients may experience:

• Increased energy & feeling happy

• Some temporary redness in the treatment area

• Possibly more frequent bathroom visits (body flushing out the dead fat cells)

On rare occasions:

• Mild bloating

• Mild rash

• If a treatment area is somewhat over-exposed to cold, a skin burn may occur. These can be easily treated with ointments such as silver dioxide, Silver Miracles Colloidal Silver Gel, Improved Medihoney Gel Wound & Burn, or other similar over-the-counter ointments

• On Clients who have darker skin, when/if the skin is injured, it can result in Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). It is a temporary inflammatory response to the injury (Cryo is anti-inflammatory)

We do not recommend Cryo Sculpting for those with the following conditions:

• Cancer (active or recent)

• Pregnancy (ok for pain management or edema – but an OBGYN must sign-off)

• Blood clotting disorders

• Installed pain pumps

We do have a Chin / Neck Cryo Sculpting treatment that focuses on the neck area, with a specific emphasis on reducing the appearance of a double chin.

Results largely depend on the chin and the amount of adipose tissue (“fat”) that is under the skin. We also need to combine skin tightening with the fat reduction to ensure we don’t leave the client with loose skin.

For fat reduction and skin tightening in the chin area, it would likely take a few treatments to ensure a good result.
