What Is T-Shape 2? How It Works, Results & Who It's For
Updated October 20, 2026 · 5 min read

You've put in the work. You eat well, you stay active, and you've probably logged more miles on Hill Country trails than you can count.
But some areas just won't cooperate. The lower belly. The back of the thighs. The skin above your knees that got a little looser after a pregnancy, a big weight loss or a few birthdays.
That's exactly the gap T-Shape 2 at iCRYO New Braunfels was designed to fill.
In this guide, you'll learn what T-Shape 2 is, the technologies inside it, what a session actually feels like and whether you're a good candidate.
What Is T-Shape 2?
T-Shape 2 is a multi-technology aesthetic device manufactured by B&M in Italy and distributed in the United States by Artemis. It holds FDA clearance (510(k) K231092) as a multi-modality skin and body contouring system.
Here's what makes it different.
Most body treatments rely on one type of energy. Some use heat. Some use cold. Some use suction. T-Shape 2 stacks several technologies into the same handpiece, so a single session can work on skin firmness, texture and contour at the same time.
T-Shape 2 can be used on:
- The abdomen and waistline
- Flanks ("love handles")
- Thighs, inner and outer
- Buttocks
- Upper arms
- The face, neck and jawline (with a dedicated face handpiece)
How T-Shape 2 Works: The 4 Technologies
Loose skin and cellulite rarely have just one cause. Collagen breaks down, circulation slows, fluid builds up and fat pushes against connective tissue. That's why one-technology treatments often fall short.
T-Shape 2 addresses each of those factors.
1. Bipolar radiofrequency (RF)
Radiofrequency delivers controlled warmth into the deeper layers of your skin. That heat signals your body to remodel collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin firm and springy. Over a series of sessions, this can lead to tighter, smoother-looking skin.
2. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT)
The body handpieces include low-level laser diodes. Unlike the lasers used to resurface skin, LLLT doesn't damage tissue. It's used to support the natural metabolic activity of fat cells, which is part of why T-Shape 2 is used for contouring.
3. Endodermic vacuum massage
Rhythmic suction gently lifts, folds and releases the skin. This boosts local circulation and lymphatic flow, which helps reduce puffiness and fluid retention and improves the dimpled texture associated with cellulite.
4. Mesosphere activation
Mesosphere activation is an additional energy mode designed to work alongside the other three. Your provider adjusts it based on the area being treated and your goals.
The result is one treatment that tightens, smooths and sculpts, instead of three separate appointments.
What T-Shape 2 Can Help With
T-Shape 2 is a flexible treatment. Your provider will build your plan around your specific goals, but it's most commonly used for:
- Mild to moderate loose skin after weight loss, pregnancy or natural aging
- The appearance of cellulite on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen
- Waistline and contour definition in areas that don't respond to diet and exercise
- Puffiness and fluid retention that make you feel bloated
- Facial firmness and a more defined jawline

What T-Shape 2 isn't
Let's be honest about this, because it matters.
T-Shape 2 is not a weight-loss treatment. It won't replace healthy eating, movement or medical care. It works best for people who are at or near their goal weight, or who are actively losing weight with a structured plan like medical weight loss and want their skin to keep up.
What a T-Shape 2 Session Feels Like
If you've never had a body treatment before, here's what to expect at iCRYO New Braunfels.
- Consultation. We talk through your goals, review your health history and map out the areas you want to treat.
- Treatment. Your provider glides the handpiece over each area. You'll feel gentle warmth and a rhythmic pulling sensation. Most people compare it to a warm, deep-tissue massage.
- After your session. There's no recovery time. You can head straight back to work, the gym or errands around New Braunfels.
Session length depends on how many areas you're treating, but most appointments fit easily into a lunch break or after-work window.
Pro tip: Drink plenty of water before and after your session. Texas heat and humidity make it easy to stay a little dehydrated, and good hydration supports the lymphatic drainage that T-Shape 2 encourages.
Who Is a Good Candidate for T-Shape 2?
You may be a great fit for T-Shape 2 if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity you'd like to firm
- Want to smooth the look of cellulite
- Are at or near a stable weight
- Want visible improvement without surgery, needles or downtime
- Are finishing a weight-loss journey and want your skin to catch up
Who should talk to a provider first
Like any energy-based treatment, T-Shape 2 isn't right for everyone. Talk with your provider before booking if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, have metal implants in the treatment area, have an active skin infection or open wound in the area, or are being treated for cancer.
We'll review your full health history at your first visit before any treatment begins.
How Many T-Shape 2 Sessions Will You Need?
T-Shape 2 works best as a series. Some clients notice their skin looks smoother and less puffy early on, while firming and contour changes build over multiple sessions as your body produces new collagen.
