CryoSculpt FAQ
What Is CryoSculpt?
CryoSculpt is a fat loss treatment that allows clients to target unwanted areas of stubborn fat. It is non-invasive, all-natural, and is used for slimming, tightening, and toning. Some clients see results after one session, but for most the best results can be seen after 5 – 10 sessions. Cryo treatments are designed to contour the body by eliminating fat cells on hard-to-target areas without any pain, downtime, needles, or surgery.
When Will I See My Results?
It should be noted that the best results will appear after multiple treatments, but changes can start to be noticed from 4-8 weeks after the start of treatment and improvements can continue for several months after the end of your treatments. Individual results vary based on your body’s individual response, and variables such as how much fat you have, how dense it is, and how much you are looking to lose.
How Long Will My CryoSculpt Results Last?
Lasting results can be achieved by maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle. Once the fat cell wall is broken down and the content processed and flushed away by the lymph system, it’s gone. However, if unhealthy diet and exercise routines persist, new fat may be stored where the old fat contents were released.
How Many CryoSculpt Sessions Will I Need?
Everybody has a different starting point, different bodily responses to treatments, and different fitness goals. For most, multiple treatments will offer the best results, we typically recommend a minimum of 5 treatments and some people will need up to 10 or more to get the results they seek. The more treatments you do, the better the results.
Will CryoSculpt Hurt?
Not at all, CryoSculpt is non-invasive & totally painless, with no downtime. Treatments are 100% safe, there are no known dangerous side effects. Most people find the treatments to be soothing and even relaxing. Think of them as a chance to pamper, relax and take care of yourself while we slim away that stubborn fat.
Does CryoSculpt Work?
YES! Our results are proof. Many people have doubts about whether these treatments actually get results. We rented our cryo machine for 3 months to test the effectiveness of treatments claimed by the manufacturers. We were so impressed by the CryoSculpt results that we decided to invest in a machine, and are so excited to be able to offer you these amazing treatments.
Is CryoSculpt Safe?
Yes! CryoSculpt is safe and all-natural. It uses cryolipolysis or cold temperatures to kill fat cells. People first began using cryolipolysis for cosmetic treatments in 2007 and have continued to use this method of fat reduction safely for over a decade and a half. Multiple clinical studies on the safety and efficacy of this treatment have been done. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons published their findings in a report in 2015, and you can read it here.
How is This Different From Coolsculpting®?
The biggest difference between CryoSculpt and coolsculpting® is the method of application, coolsculpting® uses a vacuum application which is painful, and limits the area that can be treated. Our Cryo21 machine uses a mobile handle which we use to manually massage cold temperatures into the tissue. This method is more comfortable – even relaxing, and allows us to contour the treatment exactly to where you need it.
How Long is Each CryoSculpt Treatment?
CryoSculpt treatments last from 20-30 minutes depending on which areas are treated.
How Often Should I Get Treatments?
CryoSculpt fat reduction sessions can be done every 2 weeks. All other treatments can be done from 1-3x per week.
What Body Parts Can Be Treated?
Essentially, all parts of the body where subcutaneous deposits of fat can be found may be treated, we like to focus on those areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. Most areas you would want to treat can be treated.
Here are some popular treatments: Fat Reduction, Double Chin, Belly Fat, Love Handles, Bra-line/Back Fat, Inner Thigh Gap Slimming, Man Boobs, Skin Tightening, Arms, Stomach, Thighs, Neck/Decollete, & Face
Are There Any Side Effects From CryoSculpt?
Side effects are minimal but Fat Reduction treatments can cause itchy red/pink skin directly after treatment, delayed onset muscle soreness, and discolored urine as your lymph flushes out the fat cell debris.
Who is CryoSculpt for?
CryoSculpt treatments are designed for you if you maintain a healthy and active lifestyle because your body and appearance are important to you, you struggle to get rid of stubborn unwanted body fat in targeted areas, or you want to improve the way you feel in and about your body. The best results for fat reduction are shown on people who are already trying to lose weight by maintaining a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
