Updated
What is Cryoskin?
Cryoskin is a non-invasive treatment planned around the area and your goals. The provider moves a temperature-controlled applicator across the skin rather than using a fixed suction applicator. Body contouring and skin appearance are the focus, not weight loss.
What goals can I discuss?
- Localized body-contour concerns
- Smoother-looking skin
- Skin tone and texture
- A refreshed appearance before an event
What is CryoSoothe?
CryoSoothe is a targeted cold-therapy protocol used for temporary relief of minor muscle aches and soreness after activity. It is a separate goal from aesthetic contouring. Discuss persistent pain or an injury with a clinician rather than assuming a recovery session is the right treatment.
Who may be a candidate?
The team reviews the treatment area, health history, and how your body responds to cold. Explain whether you are seeking a cosmetic change or relief from ordinary post-activity soreness so the provider can assess the appropriate protocol.
What should I expect?
The provider applies a temperature-controlled handheld device to the planned area. Session details depend on the protocol. The team typically recommends a series for aesthetic goals, with the number of visits personalized to the area and desired change.
Results and follow-up
Changes vary and should not be treated as guaranteed fat loss or lasting contour change. Ask what evidence and expectations apply to your protocol, what aftercare to follow, and how far ahead of an event to book. CryoSoothe’s goal is temporary comfort, not a cure for an injury.
Pricing and consultation
The practice lists Cryoskin options ranging from $140 to $2,000. Confirm the protocol and package included in your quote.

Is Cryoskin a weight-loss treatment?
No. It is offered for localized contour and skin-appearance goals, not weight loss.
Is Cryoskin the same as suction-based fat freezing?
No. The team’s Cryoskin protocol uses a moving handheld applicator and controlled temperatures. Different devices and protocols should not be assumed to produce the same outcomes.
How is CryoSoothe different from Cryoskin contouring?
CryoSoothe focuses on temporary comfort for minor muscle soreness after activity. The aesthetic protocols focus on contour and skin appearance.
