Why Choose Cryo by Zimmer MedizinSystems for Skin Cooling?
Sub-Zero Comfort. Protected Patients. Practice Growth — Backed by Lifelong, U.S.-Based Support You Can Trust.

Regina West; September 16, 2025
When it comes to aesthetic treatments – from Sofwave®, and Morpheus8® to high-energy laser procedures – two things matter most: patient comfort and treatment safety. These treatments deliver results and are in high demand — but are also known for heat, stinging, and discomfort.
That’s where Cryo by Zimmer MedizinSystems makes the difference.
For more than 35 years, Zimmer MedizinSystems has set the global benchmark in skin-cooling technology. With over 35,000 Cryo systems operating in the U.S. (and many more worldwide), the brand has earned the trust of hospitals, physicians, PAs, aestheticians, and laser techs. By delivering continuous, natural cold air as low as –30 °C (–22 °F), — Cryo enhances treatment safety and makes procedures far more comfortable for patients.
Why Cryo Stands Apart from Knockoffs
At first glance, generic cooling machines may seem tempting because of their lower price tag. But when evaluating a device that will be a core safety tool in your practice, reliability, performance, and long-term value matter most. Here’s why Cryo by Zimmer MedizinSystems remains the global gold standard:
- Colder, Consistent Cooling
Zimmer MedizinSystems Cryo systems stay colder, longer. Sub-zero air cooling as low as -30 °C (-22 °F), protects the epidermis while allowing practitioners to safely deliver energy deeper into the tissue. This not only helps achieve improved treatment tolerability and results, but also translates into happier patients, return clients, and word-of-mouth referrals — all of which are good for business.
- 100% Natural Cold Air
Unlike nitrogen spray or chemical cooling methods, Cryo uses all-natural cold air. That means no harsh chemicals, no risk of systemic inhalation, and no exposure concerns for patients or staff — a critical consideration for facial treatments.
- Reliability That Lasts a Decade or Longer
Cryo units are known as true workhorses. Many systems operate reliably for over a decade with proper maintenance. Both the Cryo 6 and Cryo 7 deliver continuous cooling for over an hour, ideal for lengthy back-to-back procedures. In aesthetics, where downtime means lost revenue and disrupted patient schedules, that kind of longevity is invaluable.
- Unmatched Service & Support
Zimmer MedizinSystems has established offices on both U.S. coasts. When you purchase Cryo, you’re backed by:
- Live U.S.-based phone support with real people
- Free over-the-phone diagnostics
- Lifelong service and parts availability
This level of ongoing support simply isn’t available with imported or unbranded devices.
- Proven Trust Across Thousands of Clinics
Over 35,000 Cryo systems are already in use across U.S. clinics. That kind of adoption speaks volumes — the industry relies on Zimmer MedizinSystems to safeguard both patients and practitioners during demanding procedures.
