Question 1

​Is Cryoskin® Safe? and How Does Cryoskin Work?

Accepted Answer

​Is Cryoskin® Safe?
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.
​
How does Cryoskin 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 of a self-programming of the death of these cells.

Question 2

What are the Benefits of Cryoskin®?   How does The Cryoskin® Procedure Feel?   How Does The Cryoskin® Procedure Work? The Technology? Fat Freezing?

Accepted Answer

What are the Benefits of Cryoskin®?
The major benefit sought is a large decrease in fat mass which was visualized by CT scans and measured between 15 and 40% according to the subjects tested. 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 a significant increase of local microcirculation and collagen.

How does The Cryoskin® Procedure Feel?
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.

How Does The Cryoskin® Procedure Work? The Technology? Fat Freezing?
This is one of our most commonly asked questions on social media and in initial client consultations. The answer to that question in one sentence would be: Cryoskin technology uses cold temperatures to penetrate deep into the skin and reduce fat cells through the process of apoptosis.

As already described above, 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.

Question 4

Is There Anyone That Can’t Do the Cryoskin® Treatment?  Needs to be a Certain Age? Is There Anyone We Would Advise Not Doing Cryoskin® For Other Reasons? i.e. Just Won’t Work for Them?

Accepted Answer

Is There Anyone That Can’t Do the Cryoskin® Treatment? Needs to be a Certain Age?
The treatment is not recommended for young children. Treatment is available for adolescents of age 15 or older.

Is There Anyone We Would Advise Not Doing Cryoskin® For Other Reasons? i.e. Just Won’t Work for Them?
There are few failures. But sometimes some morphologies and metabolisms do not give the expected results. It is also very often observed that these partial failures are due to very poor diet/lifestyle or due to undeclared medical conditions.

Question 5

Why Do You Need the Gel During a Cryoskin® Treatment? and  What Is The Percentage of Fat Reduction? Do You Have Any Data On This?

Accepted Answer

Why Do You Need the Gel During a Cryoskin® Treatment?
The gel has been specially designed to retain all its qualities of gliding without crystallizing and protection from -30 ° up to + 60 °.  Without gel the heat and especially the cold will be much less penetrating and the risks of spontaneous freezing of the water contained in the surface tissues will be increased, therefore increasing the risk of alteration of these tissues.
​
What Is The Percentage of Fat Reduction? Do You Have Any Data On This?
Cryoskin® 4.0  was tested at different temperatures and treatment periods.
86.5% Experienced an improvement in body shape.
100% Showed improvement in toning, firmness, and smoothness.
88% Reported they would engage in regular treatments.
There was an average of 38% of fat loss on the treated area over 4 sessions in 6 weeks 
The maximum fat loss was 45% in the treated area. 
Some women only lost 15% of fat in the treated area. 
Men’s abdominal area was particularly effective – with a good sample losing 45% of fat in that area.

Question 8

Has Anyone Had Any Serious Cryoskin® Side Effects / Been Burned?  Why Is This Effective for Cellulite?  
I am Overweight AND have Cellulite.  What type of Cryoskin® treatment is recommended?

Accepted Answer

Has Anyone Had Any Serious Cryoskin® Side Effects / Been Burned?
No. (100 people tested + over 300 machines in use in France)

Why Is This Effective for Cellulite?
The treatment causes vasodilation in the blood vessels. This increases blood flow which results in increased Collagen production. Collagen helps to break down Cellulite.

I am Overweight AND have Cellulite.  What type of Cryoskin® treatment is recommended?
You should do slimming one week/lifting next week and repeat – as this will reduce fat and also stimulate collagen production which breaks down fat. Ideally, after the slimming treatments, customers would do Drainage (Drain skin OR lots of water and walking OR Compression with legs elevated).

Question 10

For More Permanent Effects of Cryoskin® 4.0 Do I Have you Evidence of This for Fat Loss?  For More Permanent Effects of Cryoskin® 4.0 Do You Have Any Evidence For Cellulite?   For More Permanent Effects of Cryoskin® 4.0 Do You Have Any Evidence for the Face Lift?

Accepted Answer

For More Permanent Effects of Cryoskin® 4.0 Do I Have you Evidence of This for Fat Loss?
From the testing most people got more lasting results after 3-6 sessions – it depends on the person. 1 person had to stop after 1 session as they lost too much fat.

For More Permanent Effects of Cryoskin® 4.0 Do You Have Any Evidence For Cellulite?
The treatment is more temporary for Cellulite. The cold creates vasodilation in the treated area. This increases the production of collagen which helps to break down Cellulite. Cellulite will return if there are no changes in diet/exercise.

For More Permanent Effects of Cryoskin® 4.0 Do You Have Any Evidence for the Face Lift?
The treatment is more temporary for Face Lifts. The cold creates vasodilation in the treated area. This increases the production of collagen which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles. The treatment also closes the pores and increases the elasticity of the skin which gives you the “Cryoskin® glow”. However, the aging process continues unfortunately so the effect is not permanent but we recommend maintenance treatments periodically as needed.

Question 11

Is it Okay to Treat People Whom Have an Open Wound?  and Is it Okay to Treat People After Wax/Laser Hair Removal?

Accepted Answer

Is it Okay to Treat People Whom Have an Open Wound?
No. Unless you cover the wound with some sort of plaster. The reason for this is not to pass bodily fluid onto the Wand. If you cover the wound then treat through the cover the treatment should help to heal due to increased blood flow to the area.

Is it Okay to Treat People After Wax/Laser Hair Removal?
It’s best to wait 1 week after these treatments to make sure the treated areas are fully healed and bodily fluid won’t get on the wand.

Question 12

Can You Do CryoSlimming™ If you Have Abdominal Mesh from a Hernia Surgery? and   Why Can’t I Eat Sugar for 2 Hours After a Cryoskin® Treatment?

Accepted Answer

Can You Do CryoSlimming™ If you Have Abdominal Mesh from a Hernia Surgery?
The client has to wait 3 months in case there are any medical complications. Otherwise, it could affect the healing of the hernia.

Why Can’t I Eat Sugar for 2 Hours After a Cryoskin® Treatment?
To get the best results following a cryo session, you should not eat sugar 2 hours before and after the session. The reason is sugar is a strong power source for fat cells. It’s factual, all nutritionists would attest that to succeed a diet slimming, sugar is the first thing to stop. As you know, the cold weakens and retracts the adipocyte but if you eat sugar, that will give it back immediate energy so the apoptosis effect will be less efficient even could be canceled.
Be careful, when we talk about sugar, we talk about all kind of sugars as slow sugar (pasta, rice, bread, cereals…) and of course fast-acting sugar. If possible, the client could avoid all kind of sugar for 4/5 hours before and after the cryo session but it’s a maximum. 2 hours is the usual recommended time to get results.
