Cryo T-Shock at Reset Lounge in Chagrin Falls, Ohio is a non-invasive, contrast-therapy service that uses gentle cycles of warmth and cold on the skin to support cosmetic goals like body contouring, smoother-looking skin, and a relaxing, spa-like experience. These sessions are designed to complement a healthy lifestyle and other self-care choices, and individual results can vary from person to person.
For someone who’s never experienced a Cryo T-Shock treatment, the sound of it can be slightly concerning. But that’s far from the truth. Did you ever have a sibling or childhood friend put snow down the back of your coat or hold snow on your cheeks when you were a child? That feels worse than how you’d feel during a Cryo T-Shock appointment when the cold setting is being delivered. In fact, many of our clients find the treatments so relaxing, they fall asleep.

To help you better understand what a Cryo T-Shock session is like – and what it can and can’t do – we’ve answered some of the questions we hear most often from our community.
What Is Cryo T-Shock and How Does It Work?
We did a deep dive into the slimming focused treatments for applications for undesired fat. In our recent blog, we walk through how Cryo T-Shock is designed to cool and warm targeted areas, how the body naturally processes affected fat cells, and how the treatment is performed to help protect the skin’s surface when used as directed.
According to the U.S. supplier of the device, Skin Science Solution, “Where the application of cold alone—as in cryolipolysis—has been shown to break down fat cells which can contribute to the unsightly appearance of cellulite, thermal shock goes a step further in eliminating the cells from the body through lymphatic drainage for more immediate and effective results. Using alternating cycles of hot and cold, thermal shock kills fat cells and reverses the signs of cellulite by increasing blood flow and circulation, stimulating the production of collagen, and improving overall skin elasticity.”
At Reset Lounge, we describe this more gently and cosmetically: using alternating cycles of warmth and cold, this contrast therapy is designed to target fat cells and support smoother-looking skin. Studies suggest that temperature shifts may influence circulation and collagen activity, which can help reduce the visible signs of cellulite for some people. Individual responses and outcomes vary.
For applications like our anti-aging–focused facials, Cryo T-Shock is designed to encourage skin firmness and support healthy microcirculation. Research suggests these temperature changes may temporarily boost local blood flow and support collagen and elastin activity, which can contribute to a firmer, more lifted appearance for some guests. Reported percentage changes in blood flow come from supplier and industry data and may not reflect every individual’s experience.
Skin Science Solutions goes on to add, “Skin ages due to a reduction in collagen and elastin. By increasing oxygen and nutrient supply to the tissue, thermal shock promotes a more youthful appearance. When applied to the face and neck, consistently, this contrast therapy stimulates the production of collagen and improves skin elasticity, effectively smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
“Other benefits include: reducing puffiness around the eyes, give the impression of reduced pore size on the face and neck while lessening inflammation. Not to mention that while skin vessels and capillaries undergo a period of vasoconstriction to break down toxins stored in skin layers; an alternating cycle of vasodilatation efficiently expels the toxins from the body. This process paves the way for healthy skin cells to emerge for a taut, more supple appearance of facial skin.”
Other potential cosmetic benefits may include a reduction in the look of puffiness around the eyes, a more refined-looking pore appearance on the face and neck, and a generally calmer look to the skin. These effects are temporary and can differ from guest to guest. Cryo T-Shock sessions also support your body’s natural circulation and lymphatic processes, which may help the skin feel refreshed and renewed. This can contribute to a more taut, supple appearance for some guests, although the body’s detoxification is primarily handled by organs like the liver and kidneys, not by cosmetic treatments.
What Will a Cryo T-Shock Treatment at Reset Lounge Be Like?
We make you as comfortable as possible. You’ll settle into a private room on a slightly heated massage table. There is soft music in the room and low lights so that you can totally relax.
Cryo T-Shock treatments use precise combinations of warm and cold temperatures delivered to the surface of your skin. The technician uses a wand with a smooth metal disc that glides over the gel applied to your skin. The temperature ranges of each treatment are dependent upon the type of appointment and are precisely programmed—even to the specific body part being addressed—to support your goals. A certified technician delivers the treatment and ensures that the appropriate ranges are maintained.
During fat focused sessions, there’s a longer period of cooling, so you may notice temporary numbness in the treated area. Most guests find this fades shortly after the session ends. Some people also notice temporary swelling or a “bloating” sensation as the area rewarms and circulation changes. These effects are usually short-lived, but if you ever have concerns or lingering symptoms, we encourage you to check in with both our team and your healthcare provider.
Typical session length ranges from about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area and protocol chosen. Many guests in Chagrin Falls and the surrounding communities choose a series of sessions over several weeks when they are working toward specific cosmetic goals.
How Can You Achieve the Best Cosmetic Results with Cryo T-Shock?
At Reset Lounge, we have a few recommendations to help you work toward the best possible cosmetic results:
Pre-Treatment Recommendations
- Drink water, especially if you are having fat and cellulite–focused sessions.
- Please remove all make-up for facial treatments.
Post-Treatment Recommendations
For guests focusing on fat reduction, we strongly recommend supporting your body’s natural lymphatic flow within about 4 hours of a session—through movement or other gentle strategies. This may help you get the most out of your visit. Skipping this step doesn’t make the treatment unsafe, but it may lessen the visible results for some individuals.
Suggestions include:
- A 30-minute cardio workout
- A massage or compression on the treated area
- 20-30 minutes in our infrared sauna
- 10-15 minutes on our whole body vibrationplate with a lymphatic drainage setting
In general, use the T-Shock treatments as a complement to other healthy lifestyle choices like good diet and exercise. If you are interested in more support in these areas, we have plenty of options including:
- Personal Training
- Diet and Nutrition Support
- Supplementation
You can explore these offerings on their individual service pages on our website.
