Subzero Cryo Slimming uses extreme cold to freeze fat cells in targeted areas, which causes some of them to die. The intent is not weight loss; rather, it is to reduce areas of fat that have not responded to diet or exercise and, thus, for the individual to look slimmer. Common sites for the procedure include the abdomen, thighs, upper and lower back, buttocks and jaw.

The procedure is performed with a hand-held device that uses CO2 gas to spray the targeted area for treatment, cooling to minus 110 degrees Fahrenheit. It takes about three minutes depending on the area. As the fat cells within the targeted area are chilled, sensations can range in intensity from tingling or stinging to aching or cramping. Changes to the area may become visible a few weeks after the procedure has been performed, but typically take two months or more. Studies show that up to 28% of the fat can dissipate four months after treatment, depending on the targeted area.

Radio Frequency (RF) therapy, also called radio frequency skin tightening, is a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin. It involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as your dermis. This heat stimulates the production of collagen.

Collagen is the most common protein in your body. It creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin its firmness.

As you age, your cells produce less collagen, which leads to sagging skin and wrinkles. Skin laxity occurs around age 35 to 40 when the quantity and quality of your collagen begins to decline.

RF therapy has been used since 2001 to fight against sagging skin and signs of aging.

Benefits of Radio Frequency:

The primary benefits of RF therapy are tightening your skin and getting rid of wrinkles.

However, RF therapy may also help fight sun damage due to its ability stimulate the production of collagen.

1. Fighting sun damage

Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause the collagen fibers in your skin to break down and become disorganized.

A 2011 study Trusted Source found that 3 months of RF treatment led to clinically significant improvements in a small group of people with mild to moderate signs of sun damage.

2. Body contouring

RF therapy may help tighten loose skin on your body by stimulating the production of collagen.

A 2017 study Trusted Source found that 24 of the 25 people who underwent 5 to 8 sessions of RF therapy sessions saw an improvement in their body shape. Twenty-three people were happy with their results.

3. Face contouring

One small study Trusted Source looked at the effect of RF combined with pulsed electromagnetic treatment for 8 weeks.

The researchers found significant improvement in facial skin laxity in all 11 participants, and 73 percent of them had improvements in facial contour.

4. Wrinkles and fine lines. A 2018 study Trusted Source looked at the effect of RF therapy on wrinkles around the eyes of 70 middle-aged women.

The researchers found that three treatments over 6 weeks significantly reduced their wrinkles.

5. RF for face slimming

RF treatment has the potential to be used as a nonsurgical method of slimming your face.

A 2017 study looked at the effect of using RF therapy to break down fat in the lower face of 14 middle-aged Asian women.

After 5 weeks, more than 90 percent of the women had a reduction in fat, and 60 percent were satisfied or very satisfied with their results. The only side effect observed was mild redness several hours after the procedure.

Lymphatic drainage massage, sometimes referred to as lypossage, is a type of massage that aims to activate the body’s natural lymphatic drainage process to reduce inflammation caused by the accumulation of lymph fluid.

While research is still being conducted on the effects of lymphatic drainage massage post-body contouring, we can attest that lymphatic drainage massage can indeed impact body sculpting results in healthy patients. Specifically, we have noticed that our patients who undergo lymphatic drainage massage following their body sculpting treatments tend to see their results more quickly than those who don’t. But why?

Lymphatic drainage massage can increase blood flow circulation and help flush out dead fat cells and toxic fluid that has become trapped between cells, improving the appearance of your treatment area. Since the lymphatic system also plays a vital role in regulating your immune functions, lymphatic drainage massage may help reduce the risk of infection and support the health of your body’s major organs (kidneys, liver, skin), improving your overall health and well-being. In short, the better your lymphatic system is working, the quicker your body may recover from your Subzero Cryo Slimming procedures.

Aside from lymphatic massage, adhering to a generally healthy lifestyle can also help you improve your post-Subzero Cryo Slimming treatments. Here are a few tips:

Drink more water

Drinking plenty of water will help your lymphatic system discharge toxins and other waste via your urine; just be sure to drink water throughout the day (vs. all at once) so that your body has time to process it. (Most resources suggest aiming for eight 8 ounce glasses of water per day.) Also, be sure to drink plenty of water after having a lymphatic massage, as this will further help to flush out dead cells and fluids.

Eat nutritious foods

Eating a variety of whole foods, including low-fat proteins, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains, will help support your lymphatic system by providing essential nutrients and antioxidants to your kidneys and liver. Also be sure to incorporate fermented foods like nattō, kimchi, and yogurt, as their probiotic effects have been shown to reduce inflammation. Avoid processed foods, refined grains, and excess sugar; these foods can cause toxins to build up in your body and place undue strain on your lymphatic system.

Exercise regularly

Physical exercise—whether in the form of running, lifting weights, or practicing yoga—helps regulate the lymphatic system by raising your heart rate and increasing blood flow throughout the body. Try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day.

Subzero Cryo Slimming sessions eliminate treated fat cells, meaning that the fat cells you lose can’t return. That said, if you do gain weight, your remaining fat cells can grow, and new fat cells can still form—which is why it’s important to maintain a healthy nutrition and exercise routine following your treatments.
