T-SHOCK CONTOURING
The Pagani Cryo T-Shock is a painless, non-invasive way to remove unwanted fat and cellulite while firming and tightening the skin.
Most procedures begin with a few minutes of heat followed by a prolonged period of cold, and end with another short period of heat. The extended period of cold selectively freezes fat cells and induces cell death. Once the fat cells die, they are permanently removed from the body through the lymphatic system.
After several treatments (typically 8-10) you should see a noticeable change in your appearance. To maximize removal of the dead fat cells, you should do a quick workout following your sessions and drink plenty of fluids. To further enhance the process, spend some time in our infrared sauna or compression therapy sleeves immediately after your T-Shock treatment.
No body part is off limits. Most common spots are the stomach, love handles, under arms, glutes, and inner/outer thighs. Treatments can be performed 1x every 2 weeks. T-Shock slimming causes fat cell apoptosis or cell death of the fat cells alone. The dead cells are evacuated through the lymphatic system and will eventually pass through the kidneys. Waiting 2 weeks ensures the lymphatic system and kidneys are not overloaded
There are generally no side effects apart from the amount you urinate will increase slightly over the 3 days following the treatment along with the appearance of your urine in color. Any localized redness will disappear after a few hours. In rare cases localized pain may occur but will dissipate within 2-3 hours. Itching may occur however this is generally due to the reaction of certain cosmetic products used by clients.
The first results are generally visible within a week following the first session and sometimes immediate however, it should be noted that the best results appear in 2 to 3 weeks after the start of treatment and extend for several months after the end of treatment. Depending on the individual and depending also on their lifestyle and diet, the results last several months to several years. For fat loss treatments, the change is permanent much like liposuction but must be maintained with proper lifestyle as ALL fat loss treatments can be reversed if weight is continually being gained. For Cellulite and Skin Tightening an ongoing monthly maintenance schedule is recommended.
Lymphatic drainage is necessary for optimal results. Options of drainage includes 30+ minutes of aerobic exercise, 30 minutes of sauna or compression, massage, dry brushing, vibration plate, or a T-shock drainage appointment.
PRE & POST CARE
HOW TO PREPARE
On the day of your treatment, please avoid sugars and refined carbohydrates at least 2 to 3 hours before your session. Try eating only vegetables and lean protein, if possible. Please also avoid working out right before your session as it will be more difficult to cool down the skin.As for what to wear, please come dressed in loose clothing that is easy to take on and off.
WHAT TO DO AFTER YOUR SESSION
Staying hydrated is extremely important. By drinking plenty of water, you will help your body flush out dead fat cells. Hydration should be a priority for at least four weeks after your first session, especially if you’re doing Fat Removal and Cellulite treatments.
Continue to avoid sugars, refined carbohydrates, processed food, and alcohol after your session. For long term results, it’s best to maintain a healthy diet by eating whole foods and lean protein. It’s possible for fat cells to return, so a healthy lifestyle is key to sustain results. Following your session, we recommend facilitating lymphatic drainage within four to six hours after your treatment. The only requirement post-treatment is to move the lymphatic system within 4-8 hours of your treatment. This further aids your body’s process of flushing out its system. Lymphatic drainage techniques include 30 minutes of:
Vigorous cardiovascular exercise (*post treatment exercise)
Compression Therapy
Infrared Sauna
Massage/vibration plate
Dry Brushing
Red Light Therapy
Drainage T-Shock Session (you will be charged for a second session)
The beauty of this treatment is that you have both T-Shock and lymphatic drainage techniques all under one roof! We recommend booking an infrared sauna or compression session after your T-Shock treatment to maximize your results and your time in the space. *Post-treatment exercise stimulates lymphatic drainage to expedite the process and avoid any cramping or nausea. It is also a good idea to do a Whole Body Cryotherapy session at our studio following lymphatic drainage. The sub-freezing temperatures of whole body cryotherapy following the T-Shock session will accelerate the process of fat cell death. While dramatic and often immediate effects are visible after just one treatment, optimal and long-term results are achieved with a series of sessions for deeper penetration of the epidermal layers. Each treatment will take 3 weeks to fully drain through the lymphatic system. Repeated sessions will slowly take away upper ranges of fat, break down cellulite and smooth and tone the skin. Fat freezing typically requires a minimum of 4-8 treatments and are scheduled every 10-14 days. Cellulite reduction treatments can be scheduled once each week and Skin Tightening/Toning treatments can be scheduled as often as twice per week. Body Contouring is a lesser temperature setting used for slimming, toning and skin rejuvenation - often used for smoother and firmer buttocks, an extra lift or cut to show off the underlying muscle, or tighten loose skin from dramatic weight loss.
