A to Z News - Why Cryo by Zimmer MedizinSystemsWhen 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:

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  • Reduced Downtime: Reliable performance means your practice stays on schedule.

  • Referrals: Satisfied patients share their positive experiences, fueling organic growth.

Cryo is an investment in your patients’ comfort, your practice’s reputation, and your long-term business success.

Proven in Practice

Cryo devices provide more than just momentary relief. Because the system delivers continuous cold air before, during, and after energy application, practitioners can pause mid-treatment while maintaining patient comfort. This reduces the risk of thermal injury and helps patients better tolerate today’s most popular energy-based procedures.

As Leeon Jeffs, Vice President of Simplicity Laser, shared with A to Z News, this feature provides patients with a respite from the heat and discomfort of laser procedures. He notes that unlike nitrogen-based methods, which are limited to spraying during laser pulsing, the continuous cold air approach allows for breaks during the procedure. This not only ensures enhanced safety, reducing the risk of thermal injuries, but also offers a more comfortable experience for clients.

Simplicity Laser relies on Cryo 6 and Cryo 7 devices at each of its 24 U.S. locations, underscoring the trust leading providers place in Zimmer MedizinSystems for safeguarding patient care across their practices.
