CryoSkin® 2.0 Facts and Q&A

​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.

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.

Who shouldn’t Use Cryoskin®?

There are few contraindications to treatment.

But we must still be vigilant to some pathologies:

• Raynaud’s syndrome
• Allergy to cold
• Pregnant woman
• Strong diabetes
• Cancer

How Often Can I Use Cryoskin?

The usual frequency is 1 treatment every 15 days (for slimming treatments). In some cases, this can be reduced to 10 days by the addition of additional drainage treatment but is not necessarily recommended. There is a physiological reason for this: when apoptosis occurs and some fat cells die, waste is formed. This will be eliminated by natural routes (blood, lymphatic system, and then urine). Metabolism must, therefore, be allowed to evacuate this waste without overloading the circuits. Toning treatments can be performed once every week.

Can I Workout Before Or After a Cryoskin® Treatment?

YES!

What Do I Need to Bring to My Cryoskin® Procedure Appointment?

Nothing. If anything, the best possible diet and lifestyle to accompany the treatments (drink plenty of water in particular).

How Does the Cryoskin® Procedure Work?

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. (Homeopathy consists of inducing information to certain

How Will Cryoskin Get Rid of My Cellulite?

The answer was given above. It should be remembered that it may be important to add drainage treatment once or twice a week between sessions.

Do I Lose Weight with Cryoskin® Treatments?

It is very common that there is a loss of weight during the treatment. This is due both to the loss of fat mass but also to the drainage techniques (exercise, etc) and the diet and lifestyle required.

How Will Cryoskin® Help Me Look Younger?

As previously seen, the Cryoskin® machine is capable of causing thermal shock due to its ability to alternate rapidly and automatically between periods of

skin warming (up to 40°) and cooling (up to -8°). This phenomenon causes a very strong increase in the local metabolism and an acceleration of the microcirculation which are both responsible for the production of collagen. The collagen thus brings elasticity and toning to the skin and makes it possible to visibly and durable combat skin aging.

What is the Difference Between this and Other Cryo Treatments (i.e. Cryofacial)?

There are other manual cryotherapy machines. But tests and experience have shown that no other machine is currently capable of an inertia as strong as the Cryoskin®. This inertia is due to the fact that the device does not only produce cold. It works by heat exchange with the body and the ability to descend very strongly and very quickly the temperature of the tissues by absorption of calories, accumulation of calories and evacuation by a system equipped with a ventilated hydraulic radiator.

Why Can I Only Have a Cryoskin® Treatment Every 2 Weeks?

The phenomenon of apoptosis is a natural phenomenon. A programmed natural death of the fat cell. The latter is not destroyed by a phenomenon of cavitation which would make it explode and create cell waste which would be very difficult, or impossible to eliminate. This is a self-destruction specifically for fat cells, whose ingredients are going to be removed slowly and naturally from the body at the rate of metabolism.

What Happens if I Come Back Before the 2 Weeks?

As said before: aided by complementary drainage methods the treatment can eventually be reduced to 10 or 12 days. Otherwise, the results may be thwarted 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 harmony of the results.

Why Can I Only Have 2 Areas Done at One Time?

Again, to not overload the circuits. On the other hand, there is a strong internal cooling of the tissues and the treating of more zones at the same time could cause in extreme cases hypothermia, but in many cases a phenomenon of great fatigue.

What If I Want to Do My Face, Arms, Tummy, plus Legs In One Cryoskin® Session?

In our opinion and advice: NO

Face and arm in a session for example

Belly and legs in another session

In general, it is always advisable to practice treatment on the upper OR lower body in a session.

Do Legs Count as 1 Area or 2?

The legs would count as one area because you would divide the time between each leg (14 mins on one leg, 14 mins on the other).

Are There Any Risks With Cryoskin®?

The risks concern only people with contraindications mentioned and remain minor and temporary.

Is There a Certain Person Who is Best Suited for Cryoskin® Treatments?

The best profile does not apply to “fat” or overweight subjects. The treatment is not for clients requiring weight loss but rather for the vast majority of those who have unsightly cellulite or fatty areas (often due to poor diet, poor lifestyle or a static workplace, for example). The treatment is a treatment to re harmonize the body’s curves and not a slimming cure.

How Soon Will I Begin to See Results With My Cryoskin® Treatments?

The first results are generally visible from the first session and often very encouraging. However, it should be noted that the best results appear from 15 days to 3 weeks after the start of treatment and extend for several months after the end of treatment.

How Long Does Cryoskin® 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 practice 2 or 3 sessions 6 months after the end of treatment to maintain results.

Can I Do Anything That Enhances the Croskin® Treatment?

By implementing a healthy lifestyle and a good diet first. But also by the addition of a powerful drainage treatment in depth. We can not advise you enough to consider adding a DRAINSKIN device which has been developed for this purpose. It utilizes a specific current capable of considerably accelerating the velocity and flow of the returning liquids (blood and lymph), thereby increasing exchanges, increasing the eliminating of organic waste and enhancing the tone of vessels and capillaries.

What is the Differences Between the 3 Cryoskin® Treatments That the Machine Can Provide?

The programmed temperatures depend on the desired effects and the zones being worked on. When the effect sought is more superficial (for example to cause hypervascularization of the epidermis and the dermis), the temperatures employed will be cold but positive because the tissue is more superficial and does not require that the phenomenon of apoptosis be caused, but rather an acceleration of microcirculation and collagen production. On the contrary, when the desired effect is deeper (belly fat layer, for example), the temperatures employed will be aimed at causing apoptosis by crystallization of intracellular electrolytes and therefore the temperatures employed will be largely negative.

What is Unique About the Facial Treatment Using Cryoskin®?

FROM CRYOLIPOLYSIS TO THERMOTHERAPY WITH CRYO SKIN 2.0 Cryolipolysis is the use of below-zero temperatures to eliminate fat in the body whereas thermotherapy is the use of cold temperatures to rejuvenate and smooth the skin. Used for massaging the face and the body, CRYO SKIN 2.0 delivers temperatures between -2°C to +4°C with the following effects:

✓ Accelerates biochemical reactions, increasing the oxygen and nutrient supply to the tissue, obtaining a draining effect.
✓ Stimulates the production of collagen, improving the elasticity of the skin.
✓ Firms muscles which retract with the cold.
✓ Lasts for several months with only a few sessions.

CRYOSKIN® 2.0 is the only thermotherapy device on the market offering facial rejuvenation treatments.

Is There Anyone That Can’t Do the Cryoskin® Treatment? E.g. Medical Reasons? Needs to be a Certain Age?

The treatment is not recommended for children. It is not a problem for adolescents of age 15 or older.

Is There Anyone you 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 to undeclared medical conditions.

Why Do You Need the Gel During a Cryoskin® Treatment?

The gel has been specially designed to retain all its qualities of gliding and protection from -30 ° up to + 60 °.

Why Is It a Certain Gel?

It does not crystallize and therefore does not risk to stop the gliding of the treatment head and especially protects the skin against the risks of burning by the cold. WARNING: Do not use any non-conforming product – that could cause skin damage. (same gel for all treatments)

What Happens If You Try Croskin® Without The Gel?

Apart from the fact that the treatment head will have difficulty sliding on the skin, 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. The treatment will thus be much less effective and much less pleasant or even unpleasant. The results will not be there and this is one of the few causes of failure.

What Is The Percentage of Fat Reduction? Do You Have Any Data On This?

Cryoskin® 2.0 was tested on over 100 people at different temperatures and treatment periods. 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.

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.

How Should you Treat Someone Whom is Overweight AND Has Cellulite?

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).

Does the Cryoskin® Gel Have any Ingredients That People May be Allergic To?

No.

For More Permanent Effects of Cryoskin® 2.0 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® 2.0 Do We 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® 2.0 Do We 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.

How Many Layers Or mm Of The Skin Does Cryoskin® Treat?

4cm (about 1.5 inches) – but you need 14 minutes to get there.

Does Cryoskin® Target Subcutaneous or Fibrotic Fat?

Subcutaneous is the easiest to reach so it reaches this layer easily. Fibrotic is more difficult to reach but the gel conveys the cold very well by removing the bubbles of air on the skin to help conduct the cold and this allows you to reach this.

If There a Specific BMI (Body Mass Index) Range Where Cryoskin® Works Most Effectively?

Don’t treat people classed as “Obese”. It would be too difficult to reach the whole area and they won’t be able to bear it for 5-6 hours and the liver and kidney can’t process that level of waste. Obese people have to diet first. “Obese” is usually BMIs over around 30 – but you can use your discretion based not on the fact that you need to be able to treat an area which is half a sheet of an A4 page.

How should you treat the neck with Cryoskin®?

For lifting/toning the neck you should use the toning setting for the face (if it’s double chin you use the slimming setting for that area). We also have a new radio frequency machine coming (SkinRF) which is very good for skin tightening.

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.

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.
