How does it work?
The Cryo "T-Shock" sculpting procedure produces apoptosis only in fat cells to gently and gradually reduce the fat layer while preserving the surrounding tissue resulting in a reduction in cellulite and better appearance. Cryo T-Shock uses a combination of cold and heat to reduce fatty deposits. It is a non-invasive treatment of breaking down fat cells to reduce body fat without damage to other tissues and surrounding tissues.
How does it feel?
Cryo "T-Shock" procedures are painless. During fat and cellulite reduction treatments, it’s common to experience some numbness in the treated area. Any numbness will quickly subside following completion of the treatment. Some clients will experience a period of “bloating” following the treatment. This is due to the body sending blood in an attempt to warm the treated area. This too will quickly subside. Toning and facial clients experience little if any discomfort.
Treatment Frequency
- Facials – Can be performed daily. Optimum is 5 treatments performed over a 10-15 day period. Once desired results are achieved general maintenance is once a month.
- Toning – Can be performed daily. Optimum is 5 treatments performed over a 10-15 day period. Once desired results are achieved general maintenance is once a month.
- Fat Reduction – Can be performed once every two weeks. This spacing is required in order to keep from overloading the lymphatic system. A minimum of five treatments is generally suggested.
