Patient Choice Ultrasound

CryoSlimming focuses on one specific area of the body at a time. The stomach, thighs, arms, and the back are the most popular areas are respond with the best results. In a standard CryoSlimming procedure, heat at 40ºC is applied to the problem site for 2 minutes, followed by 12 minutes of cold at temperatures between 4 C and -4C (even -8C in some sessions) and the treatment typically lasts around 28 minutes. The number of treatments varies, with three to five treatments per area yielding the best results as an average. The slimming treatments are spaced out at two week intervals. This is the recommended interval because of the time it takes for fat cells to pass through the lymphatic system, where they eventually get flushed out of the body through the urine. This process is also known as cryolipolysis.

Cryoskin was developed in France. The term CryoSkin is an umbrella term for the elimination of fat cells through the concentrated application of cold and heat, a process known as apoptosis or cell death. The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and uses a wand-like instrument to glide over target problem areas. Cryoskin actually offers three different treatments CryoSlimming, CryoToning, and CryoSkin facials. All three treatments use essentially the same technology, the only difference is the programmed cool settings.

An ultrasound procedure is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure used to assess soft tissue structures, such as muscles, blood vessels, and organs, as well as developing fetuses.

Ultrasound uses a transducer that sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. When the transducer is placed at certain locations and angles, the ultrasonic sound waves move through the skin and other body tissues to the organs and structures within. The sound waves bounce off the organs like an echo and return to the transducer. The transducer picks up the reflected waves, which are then converted by a computer into an electronic picture.
