Cryo sculpting at KRIDO
Cryoskin vs CoolSculpting
Both use cold. The difference is what you get: progress you can measure from your first visit, firmer skin as you slim, and no recovery time.
At KRIDO we use the Cryoskin Dynamic, made in France by Cryoskin Paris. Your specialist moves a temperature-controlled handpiece over the area with a massage technique. On the body it goes warm, then cold, then warm again. On the face it is cold only. There is no suction and nothing invasive.

Face sculpting
One side first

- No downtimeGo straight back to work, or out to dinner, the same day.
- Very safeTrusted worldwide since 2013: more than 5,000 Cryoskin devices in over 50 countries, from five-star hotels and luxury spas to international cruise lines.
- Slim and lift at the same timeA dual benefit: reduces a double chin and firms the skin of the face, neck and décolleté. CoolSculpting only reduces fat under the chin.
Individual results vary.
To be fair: CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared and works well for some people. If you want a medical treatment and are happy to wait 2 to 3 months for the result, it may suit you. If you want to see progress from your first visit and firm the skin as you slim, that is what we do.

The research
Read it for yourself. We say plainly what each source is: most published research is on cold-based fat reduction in general, and the Cryoskin-specific study was run by the manufacturer.
Manufacturer-sponsored study, 16 participants, not peer-reviewed
Cryoskin 3.0 clinical studyDr. Philippe Blanchemaison, Paris, 2018
Five sessions, two weeks apart. Reported an average waist reduction of 4.7 cm, a 3.25 mm reduction in fat thickness measured by ultrasound, 94% satisfaction and no serious side effects.
Peer-reviewed meta-analysis of 30 studies, 3,158 participants
Cryolipolysis and associated health outcomes, adverse events, and satisfactionRavindran et al., Obesity Reviews, 2025
Cold-based fat reduction in general: an average 3.56 cm smaller waist at 12 weeks and 80.4% satisfaction. Most studies used suction devices.
Peer-reviewed study
Effectiveness and Safety of Contrast Cryolipolysis for Subcutaneous-Fat ReductionSavacini et al., Dermatology Research and Practice, 2018
Looks at warming the area before cooling it, the same warm-then-cold idea Cryoskin uses.
Peer-reviewed case study, 2 participants
Effects of contrast cryolipolysis on flank region adiposityMeyer et al., Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2018
Found that alternating heat and cold reduced more fat thickness than cold alone, without skin damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cryoskin the same as CoolSculpting?
No. Both use cold, but CoolSculpting clamps the area in a suction cup for up to an hour, and the final result takes 2 to 3 months to show. Cryoskin is a hands-on massage with a temperature-controlled handpiece. We measure you before and after every session, it also firms the skin, and you go straight back to your day.
Is Cryoskin FDA-cleared?
No. Cryoskin is a cosmetic aesthetic device made in France and CE certified in Europe. It is not FDA-cleared. CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared.
What does a session feel like?
On the body you feel warmth, then strong cold, then warmth again, while your specialist keeps the handpiece moving. On the face it is cold only. There is no suction or pinching.
How many sessions will I need?
Most plans are a series of 5 to 10 sessions. Your specialist measures you and builds your plan at your consultation.
