Cryotherapy Machines

"Cryotherapy" covers several unrelated uses of cold. Knowing which one you mean saves a lot of comparison time.

Cryolipolysis (fat freezing)

A vacuum applicator draws a fold of tissue against cooling plates and holds it at a controlled low temperature (down to -16 C on the HS1000A) for 30 to 60 minutes. Fat cells are more sensitive to cold than skin, so they are damaged and cleared by the body over the following weeks while the skin recovers. This is the technology behind the best known branded fat-freezing treatment, and the HS1000A and HS1000C are professional cryolipolysis consoles for clinics.

Localized cold therapy

Cold applied to a joint or muscle to reduce swelling and discomfort after exercise or activity. The Cryo2O cold therapy system is a reusable wearable cold pack for home use. Clinical cold therapy units with circulating ice water for post-surgical recovery are a separate category that we do not stock.

At-home cold contouring

Wearable cold belts such as the Cryo2O Sculpt apply cold to the abdomen or thighs in regular home sessions. They operate at far lower intensity than a clinic cryolipolysis console, with no vacuum and no controlled temperature, so they are a consistency-based routine rather than a clinical treatment.

Whole-body cryotherapy

Chambers that expose the body to -110 C or colder vapor for two to three minutes. These are a different product category (and price range) and are not sold here.

Both Winkonlaser consoles run four independent cryo handles so a practitioner can treat two areas on one client or two clients at once, carry 3-year warranties and run on 110 to 220 V. They differ in scope.

HS1000A, $6,264: cryolipolysis plus four more technologies

Four cryo handles in multiple sizes with 100 kPa suction each, cooling to -16 C, and a 10-hour continuous run rating, plus RF, cavitation, laser lipo and infrared handles on the same console. Choose it for a spa that wants cryolipolysis as the headline service and a full body contouring menu from one purchase.

Mixslim HS1000C, $6,100: dedicated 360-degree cryolipolysis

Four independent handles with six applicator heads that cool the tissue fold from all sides, covering 21 treatment zones including abdomen, arms, legs, neck and bikini area, with cooling levels 1 to 5 and a heating phase 0 to 4 for pre-treatment and massage. A 10.4-inch touchscreen runs each handle separately. Choose it for a clinic that wants the most complete cryo applicator set and will pair it with other machines for RF or EMS.

Specs to compare on any cryolipolysis console

Minimum temperature and how it is controlled, suction per handle, number of handles that run at once, applicator sizes and shapes (flat, curved, 360-degree, chin), the protective membrane system, and the continuous run rating. Ask for the membrane price and pack size before you buy; it is the main consumable.

The two Cryo2O products are for individuals, not clinics. The Cryo2O cold therapy system is a reusable wearable that delivers cold to a sore area after activity, with no setup and a 30-day return window. The Cryo2O Sculpt belt wraps the abdomen or thighs for hands-free cold sessions, used 3 to 5 times a week as part of a contouring routine.

Set expectations accordingly. A home cold belt does not freeze fat the way a clinic console with vacuum and controlled cooling does; it supports a routine for someone who is also managing diet and activity. For medical concerns, persistent pain or injuries, see a clinician rather than relying on a cold pack.

What to expect from cryolipolysis

One session per area produces a measurable reduction in the treated fat layer over 8 to 12 weeks as the body clears the damaged cells; many clients book a second session on the same area after that. Candidates are close to their goal weight with pinchable fat in the treated zone. Side effects are temporary numbness, redness and soreness; practitioners must screen for cold-related conditions and follow the protocol and membrane use exactly.

Price tiers

• Home, $49.99 to $99.99: Cryo2O cold therapy system, Cryo2O Sculpt belt.
• Clinic, $6,100 to $6,264: Mixslim HS1000C, HS1000A.

Branded clinic fat-freezing platforms sell for several times these prices with per-cycle consumable cards on top.

Running costs

Cryolipolysis uses a protective membrane for every applicator cycle, plus water for the cooling system and periodic filter care. Budget the membrane cost per session into your pricing. The home products have no consumables.

Payback

Cryolipolysis is commonly priced at several hundred dollars per area in US clinics and takes 30 to 60 minutes with the practitioner free for most of it. Treating two areas at once on a four-handle console doubles throughput, which is how a $6,000 machine pays back in its first few months of regular bookings.

Who can operate a cryolipolysis machine

Rules vary by state. Some treat cryolipolysis as a medical aesthetic procedure requiring supervision; others allow trained estheticians or body contouring specialists. Check your state board before adding the service. The Cryo2O products are consumer items for personal use.

FDA status

"FDA cleared" means a specific model has completed 510(k) review for a stated indication. Many esthetic devices are instead FDA registered, which is a facility listing and not a clearance. Ask our team for the documentation on any model before you advertise a claim.

Training and documentation

Both consoles ship with a user manual and protocols; Winkonlaser includes video instructions and offers optional technician training. Cryolipolysis has specific safety rules around membranes, cycle times and contraindications that the operator must follow.

Warranty and returns

3-year manufacturer warranty on the Winkonlaser consoles, 1-year warranty on Cryo2O products, with us as your US point of contact. Most eligible products can be returned within 30 days of delivery in original condition; see the refund policy for fees that may apply.

Shipping

Free shipping on domestic USA orders in the lower 48 states, including freight for the consoles. We can ship to Alaska, Hawaii and some international destinations with a quote.
