What Is Cryotherapy?
Cryo essentially freezes the skin briefly to create multiple beneficial responses. The entire process only takes a few minutes. It is important to work with a cryo specialist. Only a specialist knows exactly how long to apply the cold treatment to avoid frostbite.
When used as a whole-body therapy, cryo can help joints and muscles heal. People use it for treating sports injuries, healing faster after surgery or just preserving good health. Cryo also helps the body release endorphins, which makes you feel good all over. The benefits do not stop there. It can also do wonders for your face.
What Is A Cryofacial?
This is a non-invasive and painless cryogenic treatment that targets your entire face. A controlled and concentrated beam of liquid nitrogen is applied to your skin.
This treatment is used to make your skin look and feel younger.
While one session may show noticeable results, most people receive several treatments and maintenance facials for long-lasting effects.
How Does A Cryofacial Work?
The same principal as whole-body cryo applies to a facial as well. The temporary freezing of the skin triggers vasoconstriction. As your blood vessels constrict and return to normal, blood flow through main vessels and even capillaries is greatly increased. The freezing also triggers collagen production. Collagen is produced below your skin. It is the substance that gives your face a smooth and fuller appearance. As people get older, they naturally lose the padding or subcutaneous fat under their skin.
Collagen supports the skin’s padding and provides elasticity. After a cryogenic treatment on your face, you may notice an immediate tightness in your skin. This special type of facial helps smooth out fine wrinkles and keep new ones from forming because of collagen stimulation.
Another benefit of this facial is the increased blood flow to your capillaries. These tiny vessels are often connected to blemishes on your face. Increased blood flow may help heal or clear up several types of skin imperfections.
Cryogenic treatment also helps your skin release toxins because of the increased oxygen distribution by the blood. In addition to this, the therapy helps distribute essential nutrients to your entire face for healthier skin. You may notice that your skin looks brighter and refreshed after the first session.
