WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SAPPHIRE COOLTECH TREATMENT
 

You will be placed in our comfortable treatment chair for 70min once the treatment cycle begins. 
When the applicator suction is applied, it causes sensations of cold creating numbness, deep pulling, tugging, pinching, stinging, tingling, aching, or cramping as the treatment begins.  These sensations fade over time as your body tissues are cooled.
After the applicator is removed, the treated area will look and feel stiff; there could be transient blanching (whiteness) of the skin, and intense red to purple colur, as well as bruising, swelling or tenderness.  These changes can last up to several hours after the applicator is removed.
Immediately after treatment, the treated area is massaged. This can feel odd or uncomfortable which settles.  
For appropriate areas, we apply the Shockwave Cellulite removing device to send vibrations into the treated area or handmassage the area to assist with breaking down the fat cell membranes.

COMMON SIDE EFFECTS FROM THE SAPPHIRE COOLTECH CRYOLIPOLYSIS TREATMENT
 

In the days following treatment, the area may ache and feel bruised.  If this is happens, you may take simple analgesics like Panadol or ibuprofen/Neurofen.  This aching as well as redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, itching, skin sensitivity, tingling and numbness can last one to several weeks and resolve slowly.

​

In 1 in 20 people there is a strong cramping or muscle spasm or a shooting pain that occurs up to two weeks after treatment.  Generally this is tolerable without pain relief.

​

Is there any guarantee it will work?

In the medical field, treatment results cannot be guaranteed.  

You will be able to take comfort in that over 1 million treatments have been administered to date worldwide.  However, to date we have seen modest results in a short space of time after the treatment.  It is generally accepted that you will need to budget at least four separate treatments to notice a result in addition we recommend a low calorie, low fat diet for one week after the treatment and to take Xenical for one month.

​
