How It Works:
During the cyrostar body sculpting session, the therapist sets the wand to –2° C and gently massages the skin with the wand and warm hands. This causes the blood vessels to alternate between constriction and dilation in the dermis (microcirculation). Â
With microcirculation, blood vessels can deliver blood to the dermis cells. As a result, collagen and elastin production increases, as well as these fibers’ quality.Â
Â
It depends on the part of the body, but the process is usually around 30 minutes.Â
Body sculpting does not hurt, but it is an interesting sensation. Many guests say that it feels like an ice cube moving across the skin.Â
Many clients see results after their first session. But it usually takes 3 or 4 sessions to notice significant change.Â
It takes an average of two weeks for your body to completely remove the fat cells from your system. Therefore, the treatment is most effective where there are two weeks between each session.Â
Any guest with the conditions listed below should NOT body sculpt.Â

Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that’s been around for about 2,500 years. It’s used to support wellness and improve overall mental and physical well-being. The acupuncturist places needles into specific points on the skin to help activate an energy in the body, called qi. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the lifeforce energy in the body — it helps regulate and move things in the body to keep us well. Stress, environmental factors, lifestyle behaviors, and genetics are some of the things that can block qi in the body. The needles help to unblock or move qi to other areas in the body to help support wellness.
Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel needles that are usually not much larger than a strand of hair. Acupuncture needles are placed at a very shallow depth and go between tissues, making them less painful than a typical injection.
You might be more sensitive in certain areas, but acupuncture shouldn’t hurt. If you feel pain, tell your acupuncturist. They’ll adjust the needles or choose other points. Their goal is not to make you feel pain. They do a lot of work to position you properly and make sure you feel comfortable.
Indeed you can do acupuncture or massage while pregnant. It is safe and our practitioners are very well versed in how to treat pregnant women. Please let us know when you book a treatment if you are pregnant and how far along you are.
