Tighten and smooth loose or "crepey" skin

Alternating hot and cold temperatures bring dormant collagen and elastin to the skin surface to tighten the skin and smooth "crepey" skin. When focusing on the neck or décolleté, the process will firm up the neck and jaw line. For aging, "crepey" skin, the cold exposure tightens skin to soften wrinkles for smooth, youthful looking skin. One session provides a temporary "Cinderella" effect perfect for an event or family photos. A series of sessions will create semi-permanent change to the skin and lasting change with a maintenance schedule. For body contouring and skin tightening, we first recommend Thermal Imaging to determine the amount of subcutaneous toxic fat beneath the area of concern. Tightening the skin over a fatty layer will diminish the overall results. Detox/Fat Freezing session(s) to eliminate the fatty layer prior to tightening will create a longer lasting hold. *See Detox/Fat Freezing. *Results may vary. Typical results will not include any weight loss, rather loss of inches and/or change in shape is to be expected along with tighter, smoother skin and a more youthful, healthy glow. Client diet and exercise regimen during the process also plays a part in final results.

How long is the session? Thermal Imaging appointments are booked for 30 minutes to allow time for imaging multiple areas and taking "before" photos to monitor progress. Skin Tightening/Rejuvenation sessions are 45 minutes.

What happens in the session? A cool gel similar to a sonogram gel is applied to the treatment area and a Technician uses a small, round metal applicator to administer heat and cool temperatures to cool the skin. This process penetrates into the deeper levels of skin to awaken dormant collagen and elastin to tighten the skin.

Does it hurt? No, there may be an initial discomfort depending on your tolerance for cold. We use a small wand applicator ensuring controlled cooling and temperature adjustment for your comfort. We do not lift or suck the skin. There is no pinching, bruising, or "shelfing."

What do I do after the session? We suggest a Red Light Therapy session with WILD ICE® Cryo-C Serum, or whole body cryotherapy and/or localized to keep the skin tight. For long term maintenance, we suggest the WILD ICE® cold-kept skin care line of products for the face, neck and body.

How often do I need to come for multiple treatments? National protocol requires a minimum of 7 days between skin tightening sessions on the body. For ironing "crepey' skin, appointments can be 3-4 days apart since we can use a less drastic temperature. One treatment provides a 24 hour "Cinderella" effect. For a more semi-permanent change, you will need a series of sessions to reach your goals after which, we suggest a touch up every three-six months to keep the skin tight.
