So how does it work????
How does 'fat freezing' work-is one of our most commonly asked questions on Social Media and initial client consultations. The answer to that question in one sentence would be: Cryostar technology uses cold temperatures to penetrate deep into the skin and kill fat cells through the process of Apoptosis. What is Apoptosis?Apoptosis is the natural process of programmed cell death. It’s something our bodies do naturally, allowing it to balance out old and new cells, and remove any unwanted cells, for example the body would try to remove any pre-cancerous cells via the process of Apoptosis. The Apoptosis process happens with fat cells when they are exposed to controlled thermal reduction. It is the cold temperatures that encourage the process of Apoptosis to begin in fat cells. With Cryostar technology, this process works when a trained Cryostar technician applies a wand directly to the area of the body they would like to treat, after applying a gel to protect the skin. The wand bounces between warm and cold temperatures. The warmest temperatures used are up to 4 c and the coldest can be -4c. The range of temperature used is dependent on what area of the body is being treated and the results desired. Once the temperature is reduced, the fat cells can no longer sustain life. As fat cells are more susceptible to cold temperatures than other cells, fat freezing activates Apoptosis in the fat cells only, achieving the desired result without causing any collateral damage to skin or other cells.
CryoToning vs CryoSlimming
Both of these treatments use the same Cryostar technology and fat freezing process. However the procedure for each treatment uses different techniques, time frames and temperatures that target different layer then outcomes in resulting is designed to address loose skin, cellulite and signs of ageing. Whilst Cryo Slimming is designed to target localised fat reduction. The procedure for CryoToning targets the dermal layer of the skins middle part where all the important cells and proteins live; 80% of the dermis is made up of collagen and elastin fibres. Collagen and elastin act as the ‘scaffolding’ to the skin, it keeps the dermis strong so that the epidermis (the part of the skin you see ) lays flat on top. Unfortunately as we age, collagen and elastin depletes therefore the dermis loses its strength and structure, which is why we begin to see fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.
