The Birth of Body Icing
It was during the particular period of confinement due to COVID that the idea of creating a device came to me.
Around 3:30 a.m. during the month of April 2020, a dream suddenly woke me up and I wondered if I had gone crazy. Indeed, the dream I had just had was quite bizarre!
I started by making my grandmother's famous “four-quarter” cakes with her delicious lemon icing. It was a Saturday late afternoon. A friend then came to see me to chat, following breast augmentation surgery. Contrary to what her surgeon had promised her, she felt sharp pain with every movement throughout her upper body.
It was at this very moment that I came up with the idea of using the lemon frosting from my grandmother's cake on top of her compression bra!
After a few moments, all his pain was gone. She was relaxed again, and could move without discomfort.
That's when I woke up with a start! After sitting on the edge of the bed for a long time, I decided that it wasn't a bad idea. I then went to check on the internet if such a device existed. After about 5 hours of fruitless research, I started to think that I had an interesting idea…
In the days that followed, I spoke about it with a head of the plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery department. He strongly advised me to explore my idea and offered to support me on this project.
So, confident and eager to turn my dream into reality, with the aim of helping women get rid of their post-operative pain, I contacted the CEO of a leading post-operative cryotherapy device company in orthopedics.
After several months of R&D followed by numerous trials throughout France, the BREAST ICING Cryotherapy Box was finally marketed.
This is the story of the creation of the BODY ICING company.
