The short answer
Two different categories, not two versions of the same thing
Most comparison pages exist to push you toward one product. This one is written by the distributor of both, which changes the question from “which is better” to “which one fits the room, the operator and the price ceiling you already have”.
Cryoskin® Revolution
A warm-and-cool session line with almost no operating cost
Cryoskin® Revolution is a cryo-thermal aesthetic spa device made in Lyon, France by Cryoskin® Paris. It runs body, skin and facial sessions in 20–28 minutes with a handheld wand — no suction cups, no downtime. Clients describe a relaxing warm-and-cool experience and skin that looks firmer, smoother and more radiant. Clients love it and rebook.
$39,990–$59,990
≈ $875/mo–$1,313/mo (60 mo, $0 down, qualified; subject to approval)
icoone®
A premium robotic platform with a luxury installed base
icoone® is the Roboderm® microstimulation platform from I-Tech Industries in Bologna: 86% of each microstimulator surface is micro-holes, producing up to 21,600 microstimulations a minute, applied with two motorised hands at once. It sits in 7,000+ centers worldwide — and fewer than 100 devices in the entire United States.

Fit
Which one belongs in which practice?
Four buyer situations we see repeatedly, and where each one lands. None of these is a rule — they are the patterns behind the way partners actually choose.
You have one room and one operator
Cryoskin® is usually the first device. A 20–28-minute session turns over fast, one trained therapist runs it, and routine operation needs only low-cost conductive gel. The Dynamic at $39,990 (≈ $875/mo, 60 mo, $0 down, qualified; subject to approval) is the lowest entry point we distribute. If you already know you will be booking back-to-back, the Full Unit at $59,990 lets one room run a hands-free static session alongside a wand session.
You are building a signature premium protocol
icoone® is the platform that reads as luxury on a menu, because the reference wall is a luxury reference wall: Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Mandarin Oriental, Aman, Chanel, Six Senses, Dior Spa at The Lana in Dubai. i-Tech publishes protocol names your menu can license — Detox Express 40′, Body Glow 60′, Perfect Shape 60′, Time Stop Face 30′ — and the two-hand Robotwins application is exclusive to the platform.
You operate under medical supervision
The laser-equipped icoone® configurations are the only devices in this comparison with U.S. clearances. icoone® Laser Beauty ($85,000) carries 510(k) K182453 and icoone® Laser-Med ($89,000) carries 510(k) K211272, both for the same four labeled indications. Medical and Laser-Med add 16 medical programmes on top of the 24 aesthetic ones for physical-therapy, chiropractic, clinic and plastic-surgery settings.
Your menu is facial-led
icoone® Microfacial is the face-only configuration at $58,000 (Founders’ 25 pricing of $50,000, ≈ $1,095/mo, applies to the first 25 U.S. owners). It pairs Roboderm® with a 650 nm LED Photodynamic handpiece and the ICO-ONE skincare line — 22 programmes, 21 face protocols, 17 handpieces and applicators, seven zones, and an in-cabin plus home retail line that adds revenue between sessions. Cryoskin® also runs facial sessions, at a much lower entry price.
Regulatory clarity
Exactly what is cleared, on which models, and what is not
FDA 510(k) K182453 / K211272
Four labeled indications — laser-equipped configurations only
icoone® Laser Beauty and icoone® Laser-Med are cleared by the U.S. FDA for exactly these four indications, stated as labeled:
- 1Relief of minor muscle aches and pain
- 2Relief of muscle spasms
- 3Temporary improvement of local blood circulation
- 4Temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite
Source: K182453 (icoone® Laser Beauty) · K211272 (icoone® Laser-Med). Non-laser configurations and icoone® Microfacial are not represented as FDA-cleared.
And on the Cryoskin® side
Cryoskin® is intended solely for non-invasive cosmetic aesthetic use. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition, and is not a treatment for obesity or weight loss. Individual results vary. We publish that sentence on every Cryoskin® page, and we do not represent Cryoskin® as FDA-cleared anywhere on this site.
If you have seen the question asked online, we answer it directly and at length on its own page.
Economics
How the two lines behave on a P&L
The purchase price is the smallest part of this decision, but it is the part buyers anchor on, so start there and then move past it.
Payment. Every model on this page finances the same way: a 60-month equipment term loan through Brickhouse Financial, $0 down for qualified buyers, around 11.3% APR, subject to applicant and provider approval. That turns a $39,990 Cryoskin® Dynamic into roughly $875 a month and an $89,000 icoone® Laser-Med into roughly $1,948 a month. The gap between the two lines at the payment level is under $1,100 a month — often two to four sessions.
Operating cost. Cryoskin® is close to consumable-free: routine operation uses low-cost conductive gel, and there are no cartridges, tips or applicators to replace. icoone® body sessions use a client body suit, which is a real per-client line item you should budget, but there are no tips, cartridges or applicators to replace on any icoone® configuration either. Neither line carries per-session licence fees.
Price per session. This is where the two diverge most. A premium robotic protocol under an i-Tech licensed name generally supports a higher menu price than a 20-minute wand session, and the Microfacial adds retail skincare revenue on top. A Cryoskin® session is easier to sell at volume and easier to package. Both are legitimate businesses; they are not the same business.
Demand. Both lines come with the 90-Day Launch Program on full-price purchases: managed marketing and up to $2,500 of ad spend, $10,000 of program value, running until 30 booked paying clients or day 90, whichever comes first. That is the same on either side of this comparison, which is deliberate — we would rather the device decision be about fit than about which one we support harder.

The combination
Why many partners end up running both
The most common outcome of this comparison is not a winner. It is a two-device menu, because the two lines sell to different clients at different price points and fill different gaps in a schedule.
A typical pairing looks like this: Cryoskin® carries the accessible, high-frequency session line that fills weekday afternoons and converts new clients who came in for a facial or a first-time offer. icoone® carries the signature protocol at the top of the menu — the one that appears in your window display and your Instagram, the one with the luxury-hotel association behind it, the one clients book as a course rather than a one-off.
Operationally the pairing is clean. Different rooms, different consumable models (gel on one side, body suits on the other), different session lengths, and one distributor, one success manager, one financing conversation, one training programme.
We quote the pair as a package rather than as two separate invoices. Ask about combination pricing when you book the call — it is not something we publish, and it depends on the configurations you choose.

Scarcity vs. familiarity
One is already known to your clients. One is not — yet.
These two numbers point in opposite directions, and both are useful.
Cryoskin® has scale. 5,000+ devices across 50+ countries, 210+ luxury cruise ships through OneSpaWorld across 21 cruise lines, Harrods and House of Elemis in London. Clients have often heard the name before they walk in, which shortens the sale at the front desk and makes the session easier to package into a membership.
icoone® has scarcity. 7,000+ centers worldwide, 6M+ sessions a year, 800,000+ clients — and fewer than 100 devices in the whole United States. In most American metros the first icoone® practice has not opened yet. That is a first-to-market position with a manufacturer reference wall behind it, which is a very different marketing asset from familiarity.
If your positioning is “the place everyone goes”, the first is easier. If your positioning is “the only place in the city”, the second is the one to look at.

Questions buyers ask
What is the difference between icoone® and Cryoskin®?
+
They are different categories of device from different manufacturers. Cryoskin® Revolution is a French cryo-thermal aesthetic spa device from Cryoskin® Paris in Lyon, used for body, skin and facial sessions in 20–28 minutes. icoone® is an Italian robotic microstimulation platform from I-Tech Industries in Bologna, built on the patented Roboderm® system with up to 21,600 microstimulations per minute and two-hand application. DNA Distribution carries both.
Which one is cheaper?
+
Cryoskin®. The Revolution Dynamic is $39,990 (≈ $875/mo) and the Full Unit $59,990 (≈ $1,313/mo) over 60 months at $0 down for qualified buyers, subject to approval. icoone® runs $58,000 for the face-only Microfacial to $89,000 for Laser-Med, roughly $1,269 to $1,948 a month on the same terms. Both include training, shipping, installation, warranty and the 90-Day Launch Program.
Which one is FDA-cleared?
+
Only the laser-equipped icoone® configurations carry FDA clearances: icoone® Laser Beauty under 510(k) K182453 and icoone® Laser-Med under 510(k) K211272, for four labeled indications. Cryoskin® is intended solely for non-invasive cosmetic aesthetic use and is not represented as FDA-cleared. Non-laser icoone® Beauty, Medical and Microfacial are not represented as FDA-cleared either.
Can one room run both devices?
+
Yes, and many partners do. The two lines occupy different price points on a menu and different chairs in the schedule: Cryoskin® sessions are short, gel-based and wand-driven; icoone® sessions use a client body suit and a two-hand robotic application. Ask about combination pricing when you book — we quote the pair as one package.
Which sells better in a med spa?
+
It depends on your menu and your price ceiling. Practices that need a fast, rebookable, low-consumable session line often start with Cryoskin®. Practices building a premium signature protocol, or ones that want the cleared indications and the luxury-hotel association, choose icoone®. A 15-minute call with your actual room count and pricing settles it faster than a page can.
What are the consumables on each?
+
Cryoskin® has no consumables beyond low-cost conductive gel used in routine operation. icoone® body sessions use a client body suit, so budget for suits; there are no tips, cartridges or applicators to replace on any icoone® configuration, and the Microfacial has no cartridges or disposables to replace at all.
How many of each are installed?
+
Cryoskin®: 5,000+ devices in 50+ countries per the manufacturer, including 210+ luxury cruise ships through OneSpaWorld across 21 cruise lines, Harrods and House of Elemis in London. icoone®: 7,000+ centers in 40+ countries per i-Tech Industries, in residence at Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Mandarin Oriental, Aman and Dior Spa — but fewer than 100 devices in the entire United States.
