We offer advanced Body Skin Tightening & Toning treatments.
CRYOSTAR Body Toning uses a protocol of alternating heat and cold to promote thermal shock which increases blood flow, enhances collagen, and tightens the skin creating smoother, more elastic and toned skin on the face and body.
CRYOSTAR Body Toning can be strategically used to manage loose skin in problem areas anywhere on the body in a safe and effective manner. Common body areas treated include abdomen, love handles, inner & outer thighs, arms and back.
CRYOSTAR Body Toning sessions are 50 minutes and can be performed twice a week.
We offer 4 and 8 session packages depending on goals and presentation.
-
We offer advanced Body Contouring treatments.
CRYOSTAR Body Contouring uses a cryolipolysis protocol of alternating heat and cold, but greater cooling and longer periods of cooling, to freeze, fracture and eliminate subcutaneous fat cells in treated areas.
CRYOSTAR Body Contouring can be strategically used to target and reduce fat deposits in problem areas anywhere on the body in a safe and effective manner. Common body areas treated include abdomen, love handles, inner & outer thighs, arms and back.
CRYOSTAR Body Contouring sessions are 60 minutes and can only be performed only every 10-14 days in order to give the body time to excrete lipid (fat) waste from the body broken down during the previous treatment. Suitable candidates can lose inches of circumference in treated areas of their bodies.
Generally we recommend 4 and 8 session packages, depending on goals and presentation, to treat between 1 and 3 body areas.
Additional CRYOSTAR Body Contouring treatments and a Hybrid CRYOSTAR Body Contouring + Electromagnetic (EM) Body+ Enhancement package are available. Refer to the booking section below for more details.

BURN fat. BUILD muscle … fast!
Our Electromagnetic (EM) Body† Enhancement Treatment is an advanced, innovative, non-invasive, non-surgical and powerful treatment to enhance muscle growth & definition in key body areas and simultaneously burn subcutaneous fat to contour the body.
Electromagnetic (EM) Body† Enhancement generates thousands of powerful involuntary supramaximal muscle contractions during a 30 minute treatment session. Electromagnetic (EM) Body† Enhancement is a non-invasive and brief treatment with no down time which is suitable for men & women of all ages. Most common body areas targeted include the abdomen, legs, arms, calves and buttocks.
We recommend that 30 minute treatment sessions be scheduled 3 days apart. Book in a treatment to fit around other busy activities in your life. Feel pampered and comfortable and expect measurable results.
Feels like an intensive workout. Whilst tangible results are noticeable, even following the first treatment, we find best results are achieved following multiple treatments and 6 session packages are most popular.
-
Anyone can use Electromagnetic (EM) Body† Enhancement; however significant adiposity in target treatment areas and/or a BMI in excess of 30 will compromise treatment effectiveness. The treatment goal is accelerated growth, definition & enhancement of key muscle groups and the simultaneous burning of subcutaneous fat for body contouring and aesthetic reasons.
Most common muscles and body areas treated include: abdomen & core muscles, legs, and arms.
-
Electromagnetic (EM) Body† Enhancement treatment is pain-free. However many customers will comment it feels like an “intensive workout” because of the activation of surface and deeper muscles. A 30 minute treatment is equivalent to 20000 crunches.
-
We recommend 30 minute treatment sessions be scheduled 3 days apart.
Whilst tangible results are noticeable, even following initial treatments, we find best results are achieved following multiple treatments.
Whilst figures will vary from person to person, customers can expect a 20% increase in muscle volume and a 20% decrease in fat in treated areas.
EM Body† Enhancement is not a substitute for physical exercise but can assist individuals who are struggling with negative body image or deconditioned to make positive physical changes and find the motivation that permits them to better engage in necessary exercise & life.
-
It depends on the nature & chronicity of the presenting condition as well as results you are trying to achieve.
We generally recommend 2-3 treatments per week to see results. Depending on your physical condition, you may feel immediate relief from joint and muscle pain, improved energy and increased flexibility that can last for several hours or even days.
Following an appropriate course of treatment, significant reduction in inflammation and pain can be expected.

CRYOSTAR represents a technological gamer changer in terms of body toning and shaping treatments. Finally, a scientifically based, non-invasive answer to eliminating stubborn fat deposits when diet and exercise are not enough. By using alternating heat and cold in varying times and frequency, the Pagani CRYOSTAR can be used to reduce fat deposits and the appearance of cellulite and tighten loose or creapy skin. Treatment plans vary in duration dependent upon the desired results and the area being treated.
We know that subcutaneous fat cells are naturally more vulnerable to the effects of cold than the surrounding tissue. CRYOSTAR safely delivers precisely controlled heating and then rapid cooling to effectively target and fracture fat cells in treatment areas.
This causes apoptosis of these fat cells, a natural process, which leads to controlled cell death and fat cell reduction.
Over a number of weeks, the body metabolizes and excretes these fat cells via lymphatic drainage with no increase in either cholesterol levels or lipid levels in the blood; leaving a more sculpted you.
CRYOSTAR goes beyond the principles and effects of any previous cryolipolysis device. It’s not an invasive approach and it is not aggressive like many vacuum suction systems on the market. You can see changes in just a few treatments. And there is no pain or recovery time.
Possibly the most advanced non-surgical answer to Body Toning, Body Shaping, Fat & Cellulite Reduction and Younger Looking Skin.
CRYOSTAR is able to transfer heat and cold, alternated in a dynamic and controlled way, with real-time feedback monitoring the delivered temperatures, for effectiveness and safety. The thermal shock caused by the alternation of heat and cold flows, stimulates the thermoregulatory responses of the body, speeds up the metabolic process, and inhibits pain receptors.
CRYOSTAR enhances and uses the natural response of the body marked by phases of vasoconstriction and vasodilation to mitigate inflammation and relax muscles.
These are non-invasive procedures and brief treatments with no down time. Feel pampered and comfortable and expect measurable results. Suitable for both men and women of all ages.

It is important to understand that cryolipolysis isn’t a treatment intended for weight loss or removing large amounts of fat. Rather it is mostly used as a way to remove “pinchable” areas of hard-to-lose deposits of fat.
Coolsculpting is limited to fat freezing only and the clamps only fit certain areas of the body. The more clamps you need the higher the prices go.
CRYOSTAR however can be used on any area of the body and can have multiple applications.
Think CRYOSTAR if you are looking to remove a double chin and make real changes in other areas including the abdomen, hips/love handles, arms, bra strap area, and inner & outer thighs.
It is a safe, painless and a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. For optimal results, 6-8 treatments are recommended but a consultation is required to assess each client and their needs.
-
CRYOSTAR Body Contouring & Fat reduction treatments can be performed once every 10-14 days and Body Toning/lifting treatments can be performed every 7 days.
There is a physiological reason for this: when apoptosis occurs and some fat cells die, waste is formed. This will be eliminated by natural routes (blood, lymphatic system and urine). Metabolism must therefore be allowed to evacuate this waste without overloading the system.
-
The treatment is painless, with some clients describing it as rather pleasant. This is due to the massage technique and the session beginning with skin warming descending into the gradual decrease of temperature, then back to warm. This treatment is non-invasive, meaning it does not penetrate the skin. Therefore, there is no risk of infection or complication.
Overall, fat freezing is a comfortable experience. You may feel a slight tugging or pulling sensation at the treatment spot, but it is not painful. There is also no downtime with this treatment, so you can get on with your day afterwards.
-
A vigorous workout, drinking water and body vibration to facilitate lymphatic drainage following each treatment session is recommended and will accelerate the benefits.
Results are generally visible within a week following the first session.
However, it should be noted that the best results appear from 2 days to 3 weeks after the start of treatment and extend for several months after the end of treatment.
-
Results depend on the individual and their lifestyle & diet. For Skin Toning/Tightening, an ongoing monthly maintenance schedule is recommended.
Fat freezing results however are permanent. Why? Our bodies contain a finite number of fat cells, meaning that the cells will not reproduce. Once the fat cells leave the via the lymphatic system, they are gone for good! However, the remaining fat cells can still increase in size, so it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle following your treatment. Having said this, the treatment does reduce the number of fat cells, your body will remain slimmer in those areas than it would have been if you had not received the treatment.
-
Loosing fitting clothes or sports wear is the best option.
-
Traditional Coolsculpting will typically cause bruising, tingling, stinging, tenderness, itching; and in some instances the fat congeals generating only further problems!
However the CRYOSTAR uses a 3-phase thermal shock process to break down fat and aid with lymphatic drainage. There are generally no side effects apart from the colour and amount you urinate increasing slightly over the 3 days following the treatment.
Any localised redness will disappeared after a few hours. In rare cases when localised pain may occur, this too will dissipate within 2-3 hours.
-
Men and women, of all ages can use EM Body† Enhancement provided you aren’t pregnant, don’t have a pacemaker or metal implants. Areas around the chest and head cannot be treated.
