My Cryoslimming Journey *Update*
Hi Babes - so if you remember I had started my CryoSlimming journey back in September. So as of today (November 18th) I am half way through my 10 sessions and wanted to give you all a quick update and also answer some of the questions you all had submitted via my IG. Tonight I’ll be going in for my 6th session.
What is Cryoslimming:
Progress MD explains Cryo Slimming as: CryoSlimming safely and effectively uses thermal shock of heat, cold, and heat again to naturally freeze, break down and eliminate fat cells without any damage to the skin.
For more information on what to expect in your first session, see my previous blog post here.
Notes on my journey so far:
I started at my waist being 33 inches and after my last session (#5 of 10) I was at 30” - I’ve lost about 3” around my waist since starting my journey. The loss is gradual and I have lost on average about 1.66” per session.
This process is definitely a gradual one and you have to be patient. I can honestly say I can notice the difference in myself. In the first couple sessions it was harder to notice but I think once I started fitting in clothes and they started being less tight around my waist - it got my attention!
After my first session I felt my abdomen area a little sore. It almost felt like I had worked out but I also know my skin and have more sensitive skin (I bruise up SO easily) Just wanted to share that in case you try Cryoslimming and have a similar sensation of soreness, it’s totally normal.
I can notice the biggest difference in my love handles. I felt like my love handles have always been super prevalent before starting cryoslimming it’s why I was so drawn to doing this. After my last session, even though it might look subtle - I love the difference in my appearance. \\
During the time in between session 4 & 5 I was under a lot of stress and it was also that time of the month for me. Naturally as women, our bodies do expand and get bloated so I just wanted to make a note of that. I wasn't as active and was not eating as clean as I wanted to. Why am I stating this? I know for myself usually when there are alot of factors that our bodies respond to.
I’ll be curious to see where I end up in the last 5 sessions. I am also working on being more active during the second half of my sessions because they say that also speeds up results. Going to try to incorporate more ab workouts and strength training.
Answering your questions you all submitted via IG:
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Not at all! The tool they use is pretty much sucking in your fat and if you’re okay with being a little cold for a couple minutes you will be fine. The treatment lasts for about 28 minutes and is performed manually through a massage technique. The session begins with 2 minutes of heat and then cold for the duration of the session. The purpose of the treatment is to lower the temperature of the fat cells enough to cause what is known as the phenomenon of apoptosis. This phenomenon is triggered when the temperature of the fat tissue is between 17 and 12 ° and causes these cells to die. These cells are then naturally passed through the body through the lymphatic system and urine.Q: Are results permanent?
Q: Do you have to focus on one area at a time?
A: To begin, yes to not overload the body’s elimination pathways. Book your consultation if you want to get more personalized game plan depending on what you need.
Q: Is this the same of CoolSculpting?
A: No. The difference between the two is that CoolSculpting uses panels that are placed in a set area and don’t move, whereas Cryoskin uses a handheld device controlled by the technician, which is massaged across whichever area is being treated. Also, Coolsculpting is more expensive where as Cryoslimming is more affordable and no down time!
