Cryoskin has been transported from Paris, the beauty capital of the world, to Alora Wellness Spa and we are excited to to offer this safe, effective treatment. Only the second of its kind in the U.S., Cryoskin uses a 3-phase thermal shock to destroy unwanted fat cells, eliminate cellulite and improve collagen production. This revolutionary, non-invasive device produces superior results at a fraction the cost of traditional fat freezing modalities.
Cryoskin works with your body’s natural systems to produce slimming and toning effects. The non-invasive sessions result in slimmer, toned bodies and the elimination of fine lines and wrinkles via two options: CryoSlimming and CryoToning
CryoSlimming uses thermoelectric cooling to perform cryolipolysis (freezing of the fat) which causes cell death of subcutaneous fat tissue without damage to the overlying skin. It is safe, painless and a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Similar to other “fat freezing” treatments, Cryoskin is cheaper, painless and more effective!
Three ways to see the benefit of Cryoskin treatment at Alora Spa:
If you’re looking to lose fat on your stomach, thighs, arms, chin or back this is the solution for you. The closest thing to spot treatment there is! CryoSlimming uses the phenomenon of thermal shock to cause the death of subcutaneous fat cells, without damage to the overlying skin.
The 28-minute treatment begins with 4 minutes of heat at 104℉, followed by 24 minutes of cold at 17℉ divided evenly across the treated areas. The heat forces the fat cells to move towards the surface, then the cells are suddenly blasted with cold temperatures causing their demise. The destroyed fat cells then pass naturally through your body’s lymphatic system over the next two weeks and are excreted via natural body functions.
Results can be seen after the first treatment with an impressive 0.5-1.5 inches lost. Optimal results are seen after 5 sessions over 10 weeks with studies showing 38% fat loss in women and 45% fat loss in men.
Prior to a CryoSlimming session, enjoy a free 15-minute Infrared Sauna session to maximize fat loss. Between treatments, we recommend the use of exercise, healthy eating and additional Radiance services that stimulate lymphatic circulation, elimination and detoxification to assist in the elimination of the mobilized fat cells. Ask if you are interested with a consultation from our nutritionist to help with healthy eating and lifestyle choices.
If you’re looking for anti-aging treatments that turn back the clock without needles or toxins this is the treatment for you. CryoFacial is the CryoToning treatment on the face. This facial helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dramatically shrinks pores, and lifts and tightens the skin. The 20-minute treatment applies cold therapy at 28℉ causing local metabolism and micro-circulation to increase to the treated area. This increased metabolic activity in the face boosts the production of collagen which smooths and tightens skin, tones the area, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, improves skin elasticity, and reduces pore size giving a youthful glow.
CryoFacial treatments can be performed weekly. When performed weekly for 5 weeks, long lasting results are seen with only monthly maintenance needed in most. Cryoskin is the only thermotherapy device on the market offering facial rejuvenation treatments. CryoFacial cannot be performed if you have had Botox or Fillers within the last 30-90 days depending on chronicity.
If you’re looking to remove cellulite or smooth and tighten pores and skin, this is the treatment for you. CryoToning helps diminish the appearance of cellulite and fine lines and wrinkles. The 20-minute treatment applies cold therapy at 28℉ causing local metabolism and micro-circulation to increase to the treated area. This anti-inflammatory effect can break up the fibrous bands beneath the skin that causes the unsightly dimpling effect commonly known as cellulite. This also boosts the production of collagen which smooths and tightens tissue, tones the area, improves skin elasticity, and reduces pore size.
CryoToning treatments can be performed weekly. When performed weekly for 5 weeks, long lasting results are seen with only monthly maintenance needed in most.
FAQ - Cryoskin
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 the machine and temperature is displayed on the screen. The Cryoskin was launched 5 years ago and is used throughout France. It is currently the most successful non-invasive slimming treatment available in France, the beauty capital of the world. It has been introduced to the US, first in New York City in November 2017. Radiance Float + Wellness is proud to be early adopters of this safe and effective technology in St. Louis, MO.
The treatments lasts for 28 minutes and are performed manually through a massage technique. The session begins with 2 minutes of heat and then a decrease in temperature to -8 ‘C for the duration of the session. The purpose of the treatment is to lower the temperature of the fat cells enough to cause what is known as the phenomenon of apoptosis. This phenomenon is triggered when the temperature of the fat tissue is between 17 and 12 ° and causes these cells to die. These cells are then naturally passed through the body through the lymphatic system and urine.
Clinical studies have shown that this technology naturally destroys fat cells, but as with most techniques, the results vary from one individual to another. The expected effect is usually rapid: part of the fat cells are destroyed during the session while the others will be eliminated within 2 to 3 weeks. It has also been proven to help with micro circulation and a significant increase in collagen due to the thermal shock that is caused by the hot and cold.
The treatment is painless, with some clients describing it as rather pleasant. This is due to the massage technique and the session beginning with skin warming descending into the gradual decrease of temperature.
Anyone with the conditions below should not do this treatment:
Severe Raynaud’s syndrome
People who suffer from very poor circulation
Pregnant woman
Severe diabetes
Cancer
Slimming treatments can be performed once every 2 weeks and lifting treatments can be performed every 7 days. There is a physiological reason for this: when apoptosis occurs and some fat cells die, waste is formed. The waste will be eliminated by natural routes (blood, lymphatic system, and the urine). Metabolism must therefore be allowed to evacuate this waste without overloading the system.
Absolutely there are no side effects to this treatment that will stop you working out. Make sure to keep hydrated and drink plenty of good quality still water.
You do not need to bring anything, we provide you with everything you need. For CryoFacials we will remove your makeup for the best results with the treatment.
The natural destruction of fat cells will cause cell waste. This waste is passed through the body naturally, first through the blood then the lymphatic system and then urine and this process on average takes 2 weeks.
The results may be compromised 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 results.
Again, to not overload the body’s elimination pathways. There is also strong internal cooling of the tissues and the treating of more zones at the same time could cause in extreme cases hypothermia and fatigue.
In our opinion and advice: NO
Face and arms in one session
Stomach and legs in another session
In general, it is always advisable to practice treatment on the upper OR lower body in a session.
The legs would count as one area because you would divide the time between each leg (14 minutes on one leg, 14 minutes on the other).
We may extend the time when we are working with someone who has a much larger body mass. Pre-programmed treatments were performed on average body surfaces so are effective across a variety of body types.
The treatment could become a little irritated and local hypothermia could cause some transient (not serious) pain.
There are generally no side effects apart from the amount you urinate to increase slightly over the 3 days following the treatment along with the appearance of your urine in color. In some cases there were localized redness that disappeared after a few hours and in rare cases there was local pain that did not exceed 2 to 3 hours.
There may also be some itching without consequences and often this is due to the reaction of certain cosmetic products used by clients; to avoid the chances of this do not use anything before coming in for treatment.
There were some experiences of delayed onset muscle soreness from treatments on the stomach due to unintentionally engaging the abdominals, again disappearing later that same evening.
Anyone who is looking to lose weight or has stubborn areas of fat they are looking to spot reduce or remove.
The gel has been specially designed to retain all its qualities of gliding and protection from -30 ° up to + 60 °.
By implementing a healthy lifestyle with a good diet, exercise and detoxification services at Radiance Float + Wellness such as BEMER vascular therapy, Whole Body Sound Vibration, Oxygen Bar, Infrared Sauna, Cryotherapy, IV Nutrient Therapy and drinking Kangen water results can be optimized for maximum fat mobilization and loss. Ask us about nutritional counseling to help you with your new lifestyle.
Depending on the individual and depending also on their lifestyle and diet, the results last several months or several years. It is advisable to see how long treatments stay their best on you and engage in booster sessions every month, quarter or more or less often!
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.
Cryoskin Consultation Fee of $15.00 is due at first appt. Alora Wellness Spa trained technicians will assess and determine the right treatment plan for you.
