If you've tried losing weight and haven't had much success despite dedicating time and money to the problem, you're probably skeptical about trusting a weight loss clinic like Cryo & Contour. You're absolutely right to think that way - many modern diets and weight loss programs are nothing more than quick fixes for weight loss problems that can't be solved overnight.
Fortunately, our weight loss program is different from the rest and designed with you in mind. Our medical weight loss program is a safe and effective way to improve your overall health and maintain a healthy weight in the long term without the need for surgery.
Developed by our medical director, Dr. Lorina Poe, MD., our medical weight loss plans start with a comprehensive analysis tailored to you, your body, and your goals. We start with a detailed wellness exam, blood work, body composition analysis, and resting metabolic rate testing to truly understand you and your body. We then use this detailed information to develop a weight loss plan that is personalized to help you lose weight and meet your fitness goals. For the best results, we like to work with your primary care physician and other medical specialists as necessary to ensure a healthy, progressive continuity of care.
The duration of your weight loss program is determined by weight loss goals specific to you and includes
If you're looking for a partner to help you achieve healthy weight loss in Arrington, TN, Cryo & Contour is the weight loss clinic for you. Unlike other medical weight loss programs, ours was founded upon the power of science with the caring and personalized support of our medical weight loss team.
This initial phase of your weight loss journey starts with blood pressure and weight checks, EKG monitoring for every 50 lbs. lost, lab tests conducted monthly, ongoing nutrition education, weekly nurse visits, and monthly physician visits.
This intermediate phase starts when you have achieved your target weight. At this point, we introduce more foods from the grocery store that you can eat. By the end of this phase, all meal replacements are eliminated from your diet and replaced with other foods.
This phase is crucial and meant to help you keep all that weight off that you have worked so hard to lose. We incorporate S.T.A.R. steps to accomplish this goal, which is a 24-week program designed to help you maintain your new healthy weight.
One of the most common questions we get at our medical weight loss office is who our program benefits most. That's not the easiest question to answer since every person's body and weight loss goals will be different from the next person's. However, we have found that professional, supervised medical weight loss can be hugely beneficial for a range of different people, including:
Shedding some pounds can lead to an overall improvement in health, a lower likelihood of developing chronic diseases, and an increase in energy levels for individuals struggling with weight issues.
Losing extra pounds can have a positive impact on one's well-being and alleviate the effects of conditions such as type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
Losing weight can reduce the pressure on joints, which can help reduce pain and improve mobility for people with a limited range of motion or joint pain due to being overweight.
Now that you know a little bit more about our weight loss program and its underlying principles, let's take a closer look at some of the key tools that our physicians use to expedite healthy, long-lasting weight loss.
If you're looking for a way to potentially lose weight, improve muscle recovery, overcome mood and sleep disorders, promote injury healing, and solve joint pain, cryotherapy could be a great addition to your weight loss plan. During each cryotherapy session, you'll step into a chamber and experience extreme cold for just three minutes. Some people have reported burning up to 800 calories during a session. Keep in mind that cryotherapy doesn't cure any specific illnesses, but it might be helpful for those who suffer from conditions like fibromyalgia, lupus, arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
Excellent Supplement to Your Weight Loss Plan with Cryo & Contour
Relief from Pain, Swelling, Inflammation, and Muscle Spasticity
Helps Boost Adrenaline, cortisol, and Dopamine to Fight Pain, Hunger, and Fatigue
Jumpstarts Your Metabolism and Immune System Response to Illness
Are you curious about what happens during a typical cryotherapy session from Cryo & Contour? It starts with the first of three phases, which take place during a three-minute exposure to temperatures below zero.
When the body is exposed to cold temperatures, it undergoes a series of physiological changes to help maintain its core temperature. One of these changes is the constriction of blood vessels on the skin's surface and muscles, which forces blood away from the peripheral tissues towards the core. Once in the core, the blood can be filtered through the body's natural filtration system, which works to remove toxins and inflammatory components from the blood.
This process not only helps to keep the body warm but also helps to keep it healthy by eliminating harmful substances that can cause damage to cells and tissues. Additionally, the constriction of blood vessels can help to reduce swelling and inflammation in the peripheral tissues, which can be especially beneficial for those with conditions such as arthritis or joint pain.
After leaving the chamber, blood circulates to the body's outer tissues, which are now supplied with oxygen and nutrients. This circulation naturally warms the muscles and skin, allowing for increased flexibility and range of motion.
Within a period of 2 days, individuals experience a significant improvement in their physical condition. They have reported enhanced quality of sleep, heightened levels of energy, and faster recovery periods after injuries or exercising.
Looking for a cutting-edge way to enhance your physique? It might be time for you to consider Emsculpt, a body sculpting treatment that uses electromagnetic pulses to build muscle and burn fat. By stimulating muscle contractions, this innovative procedure can help your body generate new muscle fibers and proteins while reducing unwanted fat cells.
The short answer to this question is yes, it absolutely is safe. In fact, this procedure is a non-invasive, FDA-approved body sculpting treatment that uses the power of electromagnetism to tighten muscles and burn fat in areas where pockets of body fat typically collect, like the belly and the thighs.
Request Appointment
For those who are struggling with stubborn pockets of fat that won't budge even with diet and exercise, Emsculpt offers a permanent solution. This treatment is most effective for individuals who are close to their target weight and looking for a way to destroy targeted fat cells. The muscle mass created by Emsculpt can last for at least six months or more, provided that patients continue to engage in strength and conditioning exercises to build muscle.
Request Appointment
Emsculpt treatments can provide an incredible workout for muscles that would be difficult to achieve through traditional gym exercises. Within just 30 minutes, the treatment can generate an impressive 20,000 muscular contractions. For instance, if the treatment targets the abdominal muscles, it can be compared to performing 20,000 crunches in half an hour.
Emsculpt not only strengthens muscle fibers but also releases epinephrine, a naturally occurring chemical in the body that prompts nearby fat cells to break down. This is a significant development because fat cells are notoriously difficult to eliminate. Contact Cryo & Contour today to learn more about Emsculpt and whether this revolutionary weight loss tool is appropriate for you and your body.

The Verju laser system is a remarkable innovation in the field of non-invasive treatments. In fact, it's the only FDA-approved green laser that is both safe and effective in fat loss and the reduction of cellulite. One of the key advantages of this laser is that its low-level frequency ensures that there is no possibility of injury. Moreover, unlike liposuction or other hands-on treatments, there are no devices that push up against your skin during the procedure. Patients simply lay underneath the Verju lights and let the machine do the rest.
Individuals looking to lose weight with a medical weight loss program often benefit most from treatments like Verju. Why? Because Verju is very effective at eliminating stubborn fat from problematic areas such as your thighs, arms, and waist.
At the treatment sites, subcutaneous fat cells tend to collapse, leading to a thinner body shape for stubborn areas like hips, thighs, and lower abdomen. Based on the research, the average client can lose up to 4 inches over the hips and waist within just two weeks, and the results can be maintained for more than five months. Verju is a unique contouring system that does not damage the fat cells, thereby creating a more natural biological response for losing inches.
Unlike other branded treatments, Verju's green diode system increases the collagen concentration in the dermal layer and remodels collagen within the fibrotic septae. This puts Verju ahead of others when it comes to circumferential and cellulite reduction. Moreover, other modalities have been shown to permanently damage fat cells, leading to asymmetric weight regain in the shoulders, knees, and other unwanted areas.
This treatment is becoming increasingly popular for healthy medical weight loss because it allows you to relax and decompress while it works. Each treatment, which takes about 15 minutes to complete, provides you with a slight warming sensation that is soothing and gentle. This treatment not only feels great, but it's also incredibly convenient and doesn't require any recovery time.
FlexSure technology is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types, with no restrictions based on your body mass index (BMI). It offers multiple applicator sizes, which ensures that the treatment is tailored to your body shape and size for optimal results. Unlike other treatments, FlexSure does not cut or damage the skin, which eliminates concerns about scarring or infection. Additionally, it is a great option for those with darker skin tones, as it does not pose a risk of discoloration or burns.
If you are self-conscious about areas of skin laxity or have problem fat zones that you would like to tone and slim, FlexSure may be the right choice for you. At Cryo & Contour, our knowledgeable and caring medical staff is here to help you achieve your body-reshaping goals, so don't hesitate to reach out to us for more info on FlexSure and our medical weight loss plans.
FlexSure is a highly effective radio-frequency body treatment that's designed to deliver deep and even tissue heating. The peel-and-stick applicator is strategically curved and contoured to comfortably adapt to your body shape, making it easier to target those hard-to-treat areas. Some of the most common areas that our patients treat include:
Our medical weight loss program benefits greatly from FlexSure's use of monopolar technology, which can reach deep into the skin layers and underlying subcutaneous fat. When the temperature reaches over 42 degrees, the fat cells undergo apoptosis or cell death. The lymphatic system will then naturally clear away the debris left by the destroyed fat cells.
Since patients receive the dual benefit of fat reduction as well as skin tightening, FlexSure is often seen as a fantastic total body contouring, slimming, and toning system.

The business owner said revenue is down 35% because of the construction project.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A small business owner in Arrington said she may have to close her doors for good.
For months, Stacey Harris-Fish said she has dealt with a massive construction project outside her store, Three French Hens.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation project on Murfreesboro Road is being done to expand the road from two lanes to five lanes. However, Harris-Fish said the orange cones, trucks and dust have become intrusive and deterred customers.
“We have not had a single customer today,” Harris-Fish said.
No one stepped foot inside the business to support the 45 vendors and their families who sell projects at her store. She said she blames the construction outside for hurting her business at the worst time possible.
“This is the fourth quarter,” she said. “This is when retail does their biggest volume of business. It’s my Superbowl.”
This year, Harris-Fish said revenue is down 35%.
“I’ve had to literally be closed four days in October already because the construction cut through cable lines,” she said. “That puts us without a phone and without credit card services.”
WSMV4 reached out to TDOT and the project’s contractor, Vulcan Materials Company.
TDOT said Vulcan told them they are not blocking driveways. They also agreed to put up signs for alternative parking options, which we did not see on-site.
Vulcan Materials sent the following statement:
“Vulcan Materials Company is performing work for the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) on a six-mile project to widen State Road 96 from two to five lanes. We know that road construction upgrades can be disruptive, and we are working with TDOT to maintain access during the construction process.”
Harris-Fish said she now must depend on customers to help pay the price for the progress outside her door.
“They care about us,” she said. “They are wishing for us and praying for us that this will not hurt us to the point of having to lock that door one last time.”
The TDOT project is in its first of four stages, which is expected to be completed in June 2024.
TDOT provided the following statement about the project:
“The property owner has an agreement with Vulcan Materials Company (the contractor) for office space and an outside laydown yard for equipment, and we hope that both parties can do their part to work out the necessary accommodations for the tenants and customers.
In the meantime, we understand the frustration that comes with a project of this size and will do everything we can to ensure that the contractor maintains safe access to the businesses and signage directing customers onto the property.”

ARRINGTON, Tenn. (WZTV) -- Hundreds of people complained they waited hours in traffic in Williamson County to get to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival.
Residents that live near the event said they could not leave their homes all weekend.
Some festival goers dressed as knights and fairies, celebrated medieval times in Arrington.
The festival traffic stalled on roads leading into the festival grounds for hours, leaving residents frustrated.
“We’ve never had these issues in the past with traffic, not until Williamson county bought the fare and started routing traffic down our road,” Ashley LaQuiere, a 10-year resident, said.
“In the past, they've always blocked off our road,” LaQuiere said.
She said she lives less than half-of-a-mile from the fairgrounds and this year the county opened her road as a route to the event; something never done in years past.
“We probably waited two and a half. Thankfully, Ardyce had some UNO cards, so we just kind of played cards in the car while we waited,” Aidan Nichols, Murfreesboro resident and festival goer said.
Hundreds of people sounding off concerns on Facebook. Many asked if they'll get refunds.
Neighbors said they warned county officials about not blocking off their road, weeks ago.
“We feel like the county has basically said we don't care about you,” LaQuiere said.
“In my opinion, they're treating it as though all the matters is the money,” she said.
Williamson County Director of Parks said Saturday’s bad weather played a part.
“We lost over 200 parking spaces. And with an average of three or four people in the car, you're looking at anywhere from six to 800 people that we were having difficulty parking. Normally it's very well organized. But when we lost so much because of mud. It was a big mess and we admit that,” Gordon Hampton, Williamson County Director of Parks said.
He added they alerted people on social media to leave early.
The county posted last weekend as well-citing about traffic hold-ups at the fest.
Neighbors said they just access to their road back, like in previous years during the festival.
Nichols friend, Ardyce Mercier said although the wait was intense, they still had a great time.
“We didn't get to do a whole lot because we weren't in line for the turkey legs for a while but we still got to like walk around and look at the stuff but empty hats were really fun. But it was a great time,” Mercier said.

Fox 17 News reached out to the director of parks to ask about refunds and if there will be traffic changes for next weekend, we are waiting to hear back.

ARRINGTON, Tenn. (WTVF) — Driving from Franklin to Murfreesboro on state-owned Highway 96 can be a little stop-and-go these days because a road widening project is underway.
The major work requires some parking lots at small businesses to get torn up too, including at Three French Hens.
The owner of the antique shop says the work has brought business nearly to a halt.
"It's out of our hands and that's very frustrating as a business owner to be going down and to no fault of your own," said Stacy Harris-Fish.
Making sales during the fourth quarter of the year is critical for the businesses.
"As a small retail business, it's our Super Bowl. It's when we sell the most usually when people can get to us," Harris-Fish said.
The end goal is to turn 18 miles of two-lane road into five lanes.
Construction from just east of Arno Road to Wilson Pike is phase one of four. This first phase won't be completed until next summer.
"It's not just my baby. My store contains 40 other vendors, so this is affecting 40 families just in my store, not counting the ones in the neighboring store Mercantile 1858. I think he has about 60 vendors in his store," Harris-Fish said.
Vulcan, the company that the Tennessee Department of Transportation contracted, apparently has an agreement with the property owner to put out signs with customer parking instructions on them.
When NewsChannel 5 was on the property, our crew didn't see any.
TDOT provided the following statement.
“The property owner has an agreement with Vulcan Materials Company (the contractor) for office space and an outside laydown yard for equipment, and we hope that both parties can do their part to work out the necessary accommodations for the tenants and customers.
In the meantime, we understand the frustration that comes with a project of this size and will do everything we can to ensure that the contractor maintains safe access to the businesses and signage directing customers onto the property.”
