FAQs
Fat Freezing
Who is not a candidate for Cryolipolysis?
Patients with cold-related conditions, like cryoglobulinemia, cold urticaria and paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria should not have cryolipolysis. Patients with loose skin or poor tone may not be suitable candidates for the procedure.
What are the risks of Cryolipolysis?
The complication rate is low and the satisfaction rate is high. There is a risk of surface irregularities and asymmetry. Patients may not get the result they hoped for. Rarely, in less than 1 percent, patients may have paradoxical fat hyperplasia, which is an unexpected increase in the number of fat cells. This is three times more likely in men than in women and is seen more in those of Hispanic or Latino descent.
What does cryolipolysis do?
The goal of cryolipolysis is to reduce the volume of fat in a fatty bulge. Some patients may opt to have more than one area treated or to retreat to an area more than once.
Recovering from Cryolipolysis
There are no activity restrictions. Patients sometimes feel sore, as if they had worked out. Rarely do patients experience pain. In the case-patient experiences pain, Tylenol and Ibuprofen can be taken.
Does cryolipolysis require anesthesia?
This procedure is done without anesthesia.
What are the results of cryolipolysis?
The injured fat cells are gradually eliminated by the body over 4 to 6 months. During that time the fatty bulge decreases in size, with an average fat reduction of about 25% percent
EMS Toning
What is EMS?
EMS Toning is also known as High‐Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) treatment.
It is an innovative and new body sculpting procedure that lifts and tones your body without the use of surgery. In fact, the process is completely non-invasive, with no downtime or recovery time.
By building muscle and reducing unwanted fat at the same time, clients who choose this treatment can enjoy a noticeably more defined abdomen, glutes or area of choice.
What Can I Expect During Treatments?
Your treatment plan will begin with a consultation, during which you will get to discuss your aesthetic goal, and address questions and concerns. After determining that EMS is the right course of action for you, we will develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.
The procedure is non-invasive and requires no recovery time or any pre/post treatment preparation. Each treatment session lasts 30 minutes, with a minimum of 4 sessions scheduled 2-3 days apart. The EMS procedure feels like an intensive workout, but you can lay down and relax during the treatment.
What Can I Expect From The Results?
You begin to feel tangible results right after the treatment.* Positive results are usually reported a couple of weeks after the last session and continue to improve for several weeks following the treatments.* You will likely need to undergo more than one treatment session to get ideal results.* Most patients benefit from at least 4 treatments, each spaced a few days apart.* Following your series of treatments, you should enjoy noticeable results after a couple of weeks.*
*Individual results may vary; not a guarantee.

IPL Skin Tightening
Who is IPL not suitable for?
IPL is not provided during pregnancy or breastfeeding, over a recent tan or sunburn, or where the treatment area has an active skin condition, including infection, a cold sore, or a flare of eczema or psoriasis. It is also deferred for clients taking photosensitizing medication, or with a history of keloid scarring.
Does skin tone matter?
Yes. Darker skin tones carry a higher risk of burns and pigment change, so suitability is assessed before treatment. IPL is not applied over tattoos, moles, or irritated skin.
What should I expect after treatment?
Temporary redness and mild swelling are expected. Blistering or lasting pigment change is uncommon when settings are matched to the skin.
How do I know if IPL is right for me?
Contact the Snatched team before booking. We'll confirm whether you're a candidate.
IPL Skin Tightening
Are there restrictions?
For clients in good health, lymphatic drainage carries few restrictions. General good health is the primary requirement.
When is it not provided?
Treatment is not provided during an active infection or fever, in the presence of a known blood clot, with uncontrolled heart failure or severely elevated blood pressure, with significant kidney disease, or over an area of untreated cancer.
What if I've had recent surgery, I'm pregnant, or I take blood thinners?
These do not automatically exclude you, but they should be disclosed so suitability can be confirmed.
How do I know if I can book?
If none of the above applies, you are generally eligible to book. If any do, contact the Snatched team for guidance.
