Cryoskin weight loss treatment utilizes a procedure where a series of heat and cold temperatures are applied to a specific area of your skin to destroy fat cells. It is not a treatment for overall weight loss, but only for those particular areas of your body that are difficult to lose fat. Examples of these areas include the stomach, sides of your waist, buttocks, or any area of the skin with excessive fat. The following are a few things you should know about this procedure.

It is a non-invasive treatment

This should not be confused with liposuction, where incisions are made then a portion of your fat is sucked out. Cryoskin uses a wand, like the one used in an ultrasound machine. A gel is applied to your skin and the wand is moved back and forth over the surface of your skin. A machine applies hot and cold temperatures to the wand that kills fat cells near the surface of your body.

It is an outpatient procedure

The process is painless, so there is no need for anesthesia of any kind. The treatment takes place lying down, and you are awake the entire time. Typically, the treatment only lasts a short time, so you can get up and go back to work.

Weight loss results will vary

Because your fat cells are being destroyed, you will lose weight. How much weight you will lose over any given amount of time will depend upon additional factors. Exercise and eating habits are the two most significant factors. Cryoskin treatments, in conjunction with these two other factors, will produce the fastest results, but cryoskin treatment will quickly provide notable improvements.

Cryoskin treatments can be used for toning the skin

There may be areas where you don't have a fat problem, but there is skin that needs toning because of wrinkles. Using the cold function of the machine and the warmth of the doctor's hand, a procedure can be done to the face and arms to remove wrinkles. This is achieved by stimulating micro-circulation that induces collagen production, which tightens the skin and reduces pore size on the face. The results are usually seen immediately. Although they are not permanent, the more youthful appearance of your skin can last several months.

Although new in the United States, cryoskin treatments have been used in Europe for many years. They are safe and painless. The average procedure takes only about half an hour and is done while you are awake. Although the procedure is used to destroy fat cells, it can also be used to tighten your skin, so your face, arms, and legs have a more youthful appearance.
