Cryo Treatment Information

Frequently Asked Questions about receiving Cryo Treatments at Katrin Skincare.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURNG THE TREATMENT?

During the session, the system will switch between heat and cold energy to cause a thermal shock to the cells. This aids in reducing fat, tightening skin, and reducing cellulite. This treatment is completely painless and there is only mild redness post treatment.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

You should dress in comfortable, casual clothes or athleisure wear.

HOW LONG IS THE APPOINTMENT?

Appointment time varies but usually expect treatment time to be around 60 minutes depending on your goals and areas to be treated.

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE THE TREATMENT?
  • Please avoid sugars, carbs or heavy meals 2 hours prior to your treatment.
  • Please avoid applying any lotions to the area that day.
  • Avoid all intense workouts or saunas prior to treatment.
WHAT DIET OR TIPS SHOULD I FOLLOW AFTER MY TREATMENT?
  • Avoid all sugars/carbs during the next 24 hours, including alcohol.
  • We recommend eating a diet high in protein, veggies and a healthy amount of good fats.
  • Drink half your body weight in fluid ounces. Example: 140 lbs = 70 oz
AM I A CANDIDATE?

You may be an ideal candidate for Cryo T Shock treatments if you are close to your ideal weight and cannot reduce unwanted body fat through diet changes or exercise alone. These treatments are not a weight loss solution nor should it be used to replace a healthy diet. Cryo T Shock treatments are great for women who want to treat post-pregnancy bulges on their abdomen and return to their more youthful shape or men wanting to get rid of the “dad bod”.

WHEN CAN I SEE RESULTS?

Some clients notice a difference right away in bloating and overall look of the skin. But cryotherapy is a series of treatments. You may require 6-8 sessions over several weeks to see your best results. Once your results are achieved, you can maintain them with healthy diet, exercise and maintenance treatments if needed.

CAN I WORK OUT RIGHT AFTER?

Yes! We encourage all clients to work out or walk for at least 30 min post treatment. This will help encourage the body in removing destroyed fat cells and get your lymphatic system moving!

ARE THERE ANY CONTRAINDICATIONS?
  • Kidney Disease
  • Active Chemotherapy
  • Pregnancy
  • Dialysis
  • Severe Diabetes where sensation has been lost in the extremities
  • Raynaud's disease
  • Polyneuropathy
  • No Botox within 2 weeks (face treatments)
  • No Fillers within 4 weeks (face treatments)
WHAT CAN I EXPECT RIGHT AFTER MY TREATMENT?

You may experience;

  • Some slight swelling, itchiness, pins and needles or numbness in the treated area for several hours following this treatment. These are all common side effects which will subside within 24 hours.
  • You may experience increased urination, darker urine and/or slightly stronger odor. These symptoms are common and a sign of cryolipolysis (fat cells dying off).
ARE THERE ANY OTHER TREATMENTS I SHOULD DO TO HELP GET THE RESULTS I WANT?

For Slimming: We recommend Infrared Detox Body Wraps to help assist the detoxifying process.

For Skin Tightening: Microneedling sessions are recommended in between toning treatments, especially for stretch marks or loose skin.
