Q&A on the process of CryoSlimming®
CryoSlimming® is our secret weapon when it comes to results! If diet and exercise aren’t enough then our device can eliminate those stubborn pockets of fat. I caught up with Delaney, our Director of Partner Training & Quality for Cryoskin™ in the USA. Our US sister company Cryoskin™ is where it all started for us and she is our immediate ‘go to’ for all things CRYO!
Our main customer questions all relate back to how our treatments work to achieve such great results – we cover this all of the time – not because it changes but because there is a lot of information for such an easy, non invasive process.

FAQ’S | From Delaney |
What is CryoSlimming? | CryoSlimming® is a localised fat loss treatment which passes fat debris from the body via the lymphatic system through the naturally occurring process of apoptosis. The CryoSlimming® session is the ideal choice for anyone looking to lose inches or deal with stubborn pockets of fat that do not improve with diet and exercise alone. |
Apoptosi-what? | The process of apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death, is produced in the fat cells when cold temperatures are applied to the area using the CryoSlimming® technique. As fat cells have a much higher freezing point than other cells there is no need to worry about any negative impact on the surrounding tissue. |
What can I expect from the treatment in terms of results? | For most clients a treatment programme of 5 sessions, performed once every two weeks, is recommended for best results. Most clients see results from the first session, but sustainable change tends to become most prominent around the third and fourth sessions. Inch loss varies by client and treatment area, but our clinical study demonstrated that 15 out of 16 of those studied experienced a significant reduction in waistline measurement.

How long will my results last? | Results may be permanent, so long as you keep up a balanced diet and lifestyle. However, as we all fall off the wagon sometimes, we would recommend scheduling maintenance sessions at least once every six months, or as needed depending on your treatment area. |

Who are the ideal candidates? | Ideal candidates for the CryoSlimming® treatment include anyone looking to treat stubborn areas of excess fat that are not improved through diet and exercise alone. Our brand ethos fully supports and encourages a healthy lifestyle alongside any of our treatments to reap the full benefits. |
What does the treatment feel like? | The treatment starts and ends with a warming sequence using the Cryostar® wand for increased circulation, while the cold sequence feels like a deep tissue ice massage. Most clients report that the treatment is comfortable and in many cases quite enjoyable! |
How can I achieve the best possible results? | CryoSlimming® is not an alternative to diet and exercise, instead we see it as the secret weapon in any wellness programme. In order to achieve the best possible results, it is encouraged to increase water intake during any CryoSlimming® programme. It is also suggested that CryoSlimming® clients eliminate refined sugars as much as possible. |
How is CryoSlimming different from other fat freezing modalities? | CryoSlimming® is a completely natural and non-invasive modality. While other fat freezing modalities incorporate suction which can be damaging to skin elasticity, the alternation between heat and cold during a CryoSlimming® treatment actually has an ancillary toning benefit which helps to produce collagen and elastin in the skin. |
