Cosmetic & Weight Loss Services - Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?

There is little or no discomfort. The sensation is often described as a "warm massage". Our technicians can adjust the machine to suit each individual.

Are there any side effects?

The procedure is not accompanied by any significant side effects.

How does it work?

The machine applies deep dermal heating to the fat bundles to bring about new collagen formation and skin remodeling. Blood circulation is stimulated while it helps to drain trapped fatty deposits and toxins. Also, the deep thermal activity serves to shrink fat cells.

Are there any needles involved?

Cristal CliniQ offers RF technology with safe, long lasting results, with no surgery, no needles, no incisions and no scars.

What if I had surgery instead of using Cristal CliniQ?

These are some of the risks of surgery, which is why Cristal CliniQ offers non-surgical options with safe, long lasting results.

These risks include ...

• scarring
• asymmetry
• damage to nerves, blood vessels, muscles, and lungs
