FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Cryo- T Shock:

Q: How does it work?

A: T Shock stands for Thermal Shock which is a simple, all natural, non-invasive concept based on using warm and cold to “shock” the cells. Alternating between hot and cold has a more dramatic effect than hot or cold applied individually. The two components, administered in sequence, according to precise therapeutic protocols, produce a localized and deep thermal shock effect. Times, temperatures and sequences change automatically. The technician selects from a list of pre-programmed protocols which vary by the targeted body part and sex of the person.

Q: How does it feel?

A: All of the T Shock procedures are painless. During fat and cellulite reduction treatments there’s a prolonged period of cold so it’s common to experience some numbness in the treated area. Any numbness will quickly subside following completion of the treatment. Some clients will experience a period of “bloating” following the treatment. This is due to the body sending blood in an attempt to warm the treated area. This too will quickly subside. Toning and facial clients experience little if any discomfort.

Q: What is the frequency of treatments?

  • FACIALS/TONING: Can be performed daily. Optimum is 5 treatments performed over a 10-15 day period. once desired results are achieved, general maintenance is once a month.

  • FAT REDUCTION: Can be performed once every two weeks. This spacing is required in order to keep from overlaoding the lymphatic system. A minimum of five treatments is generally suggested.

  • CELLULITE: Treatments can be performed weekly. A minimum of five treatments is generally suggested. The number of treatments will vary with the severity of the condition.

Q: What are the post-treatment requirements?

A: Fat and cellulite reduction clients are required to facilitate lymphatic drainage within 4 hours of the treatment. A lack of facilitating lymphatic drainage following a treatment may negate many of the benefits. Some examples of activities that would promote lymphatic drainage are: a 30 minute cardio workout, a massage or compression on the treated area, 20-30 minutes in a dry heat sauna or red light therapy, 10-15 minutes on a vibration plate with a lymphatic drainage setting.

Q: Can a number of areas be treated simultaneously?

  • FAT REDUCTION TREATMENTS: One large and one small body part can be treated every two weeks. Clients can combine these treatments with an unlimited number of Toning or Facial treatments on the body.

  • CELLULITE REDUCTION TREATMENTS: One large and one small body part can be treated weekly. Clients can combine these treatments with an unlimited number of Toning or Facial treatments on the body.

  • TONING & FACIALS: The entire body can be treated simultaneously, no limitations.
