Wondering whether to try Cryoskin or CoolSculpting to get the curves you desire? Both treatments are effective, FDA-certified ways to eliminate diet- and exercise-resistant fat. But CoolSculpting is significantly more expensive and has a higher risk of skin irregularities like dents and ripples. Let us break down the pros and cons of each to help you make the best choice for your needs and goals. HOW DOES FAT FREEZING WORK?Both CoolSculpting and Cryoskin are non-surgical FDA-approved procedures used to destroy stubborn fat while sculpting and toning the skin.CoolSculpting freezes fat cells through a process called cryolipolysis. The freezing process injures fat cells, which subsequently die and are flushed out of the body by the lymphatic system. Cryoskin is an umbrella for a patented procedure that destroys fat cells using hot and cold temperatures. REFRESH & RENEW offers 3 different applications of Cryoskin: CryoSlimming, to eliminate unwanted fat, CryoToning to tone and tighten skin, and CryoFacial, to lift and tighten skin on the face.All of these Cryoskin treatments use the same device with unique settings to target the desired outcome. Like CoolSculpting, CryoSlimming’s application of cold temperatures injures unwanted fat cells, which shrink instantly, and slowly die over the course of weeks. Your body eliminates the dead fat cells and clears them out of your body in urine, feces, breath, and sweat.Because both techniques target adipose (or fat) cells only, all of the surrounding tissue, nerves, and muscles remain fully intact and unharmed. With Cryoskin, the technician uses a massaging wand instead of a vacuum applicator. The technician can manually control the temperature of the wand and the treatment surface area, so there is no need for a vacuum applicator.First, your provider applies temperatures of at least 104° F to the treatment area for 2 minutes. Then they will treat the same area with cold temperatures of 3 to -4 °C for 12 minutes, for a total treatment time of just under 30 minutes. CryoSlimming works anywhere on the body where there is pinchable fat.The technology is applied using a handheld wand, which gives your provider great flexibility in terms of application to achieve incredibly natural-looking contours—with little risk of peaks and valleys or other treatment irregularities.Does CryoSlimming work? The before and after pics speak for themselves.88% of customers say Cryoskin feels like a massage. In other words, the process is completely pain-free. HOW DOES COOLSCULPTING WORK?CoolSculpting is a patented non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses cryolipolisis to eliminate fat cells. During your treatment, your provider will mark the area to be treated, apply a gel pad to protect your skin, and then attach the CoolSculpting applicator.The Coolsculpting device uses mechanized vacuum technology to apply extreme cold to the body. Using suction applicators, the device sucks the skin and adipose (fatty) tissue into the cavity of the applicator and applies sub-zero temps to the targeted area only. You will experience an intense cold, after which the treated area will become numb. Treatment sessions can last anywhere from 35-75 minutes, after which your provider will remove the applicator and gel pad. During treatment, you will likely experience pulling or pinching sensations. Some people find this painful and uncomfortable, while others consider it mild in terms of discomfort. With Coolsculpting, a firm volume of frozen fat in the shape of the applicator is massaged back into the body, which is often painful. The massage is necessary to break up any frozen deep tissue and initiate the healing process. Following your treatment, it will take your body a few months to completely rid itself of the dead fat cells, so the final results will not be visible until about 4-6 months post-treatment. With Coolsculpting, there is also a risk of delayed onset nerve pain following your treatment. This incredibly painful side effect can feel like anything from sharp, shooting pains to pins and needles—and can persist for months following treatment.
