Frequently Asked Questions

Pre and post treatment recommendations are just as important as the treatment itself. Here are the measures you should take to ensure optimal results:

 – Avoid exercise directly before a session. It will be harder to cool the body down and complete the treatments effectively.

– For best results, maintain the best possible diet and lifestyle to accompany the treatment. 

- Ensure that you drink enough water (half your body weight in ounces is the typical recommendation) every day while on a Cryoskin Treatment Plan.

- It is highly recommended to avoid food and drink intake 2 hours before and after treatment, with the exception of water! Drink lots of water!

CryoFacial - The CryoFacial is a cryogenic, non-invasive localized treatment therapy for the forehead, cheeks, chin and neck. You may experience pain relief in these areas, but the CryoFacial detoxes and rejuvenates the skin. The treatment helps the skin feel tighter by stimulating collagen production, decreasing pores and filling in fine lines and wrinkles. This targeted facial therapy is said to restore firmness to the skin, balancing uneven tone, reducing acne and scars and can even help individuals suffering from severe skin conditions. The CryoFacial is a series of wonderful, natural, anti-aging treatments to help you look and feel younger.  Clients can receive treatments as frequent as every 3-7 days.

CryoSlimming- The CryoSlimming treatment uses hot and cold therapy. This triggers the cells to move on out without damaging your skin. The dead cells are then absorbed, flushed and eliminated by the lymphatic system over the next several weeks. Because the fat cells are subjected to hot and cold therapy, the changes occur at the cellular level, the results last longer. The slimming treatment is ideal for healthy, active individuals who have trouble spots on the belly, love handles, bra line, back, arms, thighs or chin. This is the most advanced, non-invasive, pain-free solution to other fat reduction methods. Clients can receive treatments as frequent as every 14 days.

CryoToning - The CryoToning treatment is used to reduce the appearance of cellulite or slow down the aging process. It is a cold-only treatment that encourage collagen production, rejuvenates and smooths the skin, improves skin elasticity and tightens muscles. The CryoToning gives you all the toning benefits without any of the lasting side effects or discomfort of traditional methods. A change in diet or exercise is necessary to improve the lasting effects of a toning treatment. Clients may receive treatments as frequent as every 3-7 days.

If you fit the profile of being actively engaged in a healthy lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and regular exercise and are not obese but just have a problem area, this treatment will likely work for you. However, in about 10% of cases, we do not see noticeable results. The reason for this is unclear. Everyone’s physiology is different and it could just be that their fat cells do not submit to passing from freezing as easily as someone else’s fat cells. But, in 90% of cases this amazing treatment works beautifully! 

Effects of CryoSlimming and CryoToning treatments can be lasting due to the fact that the number of fat cells is reduced and DISCARDED naturally. 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. The key to long lasting results occur when you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Maintenance treatments are recommended every six-twelve months.

CryoFacial results are not permanent, rather they are cumulative and require maintenance.
While some clients may see results after one treatment, a recommendation of 3-5 treatments per body part are suggested initially to see the full treatment benefits depending on one’s face or body goals. Once your desired goals are achieved, it is suggeste to start a maintenance treatment plan to sustain the results. This typically entails having one Cryoskin facial treatment per month for maintenance after the initial series of treatments to help maintain a higher production of collagen and elastin, which helps skin remain youthful looking.

The best candidates for Cryoskin Slimming/Toning treatments are those who are not overweight. The treatment is not for weight loss but rather for the vast majority of those who have problem areas. For example, let’s say you exercise regularly, you eat well but your belly just holds onto fat and is the area that bothers you the most. This is the perfect treatment for you!  

We do not recommend Slimming and Toning on larger areas for those classified as “obese”. This generally means those who have a BMI (body mass index) around or over 30. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, while someone with a BMI over 30 can still lose fat cells from this treatment, it won’t be significantly noticeable and may not be “worth it” just yet. Second, we need to focus on a small enough area in order to get it cold enough to freeze and rid the fat cells­­­ and generally the desired area is too large. However, we do recommend treatments on smaller areas in these cases such as the backs of the arms or under the chin. Often, losing a little bit of fat on an area like this will give one a boost of confidence and also motivation to start a healthy eating and fitness regimen.

Cryoskin Cryofacials are great for everyone except those that have contraindictions.

Cryoskin and Coolsculpting are similarly effective, the primary difference between the two is cost, efficiency, and method. CryoSlimming, CryoToning, and Cryoskin facials are much shorter procedures than CoolSculpting (20-30 minutes vs. 1-3 hours), but they do require three to five sessions for best results.

CoolSculpting, on the other hand, only requires one procedure. But with that comes perhaps the most important difference between the two procedures: cost. With the price of a CoolSculpting treatment depending on a number of variables, including the size of the treatment area, the size of the applicator, and desired outcome, cost typically ranges from $2,000 to $4,000. Cryoskin is significantly less expensive, with prices typically coming out to $350 per session, $975 for three session packages, and $1,500 for five session packages.
