What is cryotherapy facial?

Cryotherapy facial – is stimulation of face skin and neckline with the steam of liquid nitrogen with the help of a local cryotherapy device. Unlike whole-body cryotherapy when the whole body (except the head) is affected by cold, in local cryotherapy you can direct the steam of cold to a specific area. This feature is widely used in the beauty and medical industries.

How does cryotherapy facial work?

The concept of cryotherapy facial is based on the short-term application of extremely low temperatures to a particular area of face or necklace. 

Cryo facials session causes:

  • muscles contraction;
  •  increase the blood flow to the treated area; 
  • soothe inflammation; 
  • collagen production stimulation;
  • speedup cell regeneration.

Benefits of cryotherapy facial

Thanks to all these effects, cryotherapy facial became extremely popular among celebrities. The main benefits of cryo facials sessions are:

  • anti-ageing effect – due to more intensive collagen production and blood circulation, the skin looks more smooth and shining. It’s a gentler and more effective than traditional remedies such as botox and herbal supplements. It helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines in a natural way.
  • help in different skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis – local cryotherapy reduces redness on the skin, irritation and provides pain relief.
  • mood improvement – positive stress causes endorphin production that makes you feel happier.

What to expect during cryo facials session?

The treatment lasts 8-10 minutes, during which cold air is applied to the scalp, the whole face and the neck. The treatment is pain-free, for many of the customers it is even pleasant. Some patients may experience a ‘pins and needles’ sensation which disappears quickly after the treatment.

The effect is immediate and could last up to 7 days. But for a more stable result, it is better to have cryo facials sessions every 3-4 weeks.
