Cryotherapy Facial Benefits & What to Expect

What is a CryoFacial and Why Does it Work? 

There are many treatments for your face available on the market. However, one that has caught attention is the CryoFacial. This treatment aims to give skin a more youthful, fresh, and glowing appearance. It achieves those results with the use of liquid nitrogen. Yes, you read that right, this cold treatment that freezes your face can give you healthier-looking skin.

What is a CryoFacial, and is it safe? 

The first thing you should know is that this type of Cryotherapy is considered safe. As a whole, the majority of people who have the treatment do not encounter any problems or side effects. However, there have been rare cases where tingling and numbness were reported. In more extreme cases, frostbite has occurred. These reactions are rare but highlight why you should always make sure that you see a trained professional.

The facial involves using a device operated by a machine. This device is used to put the correct amount of liquid nitrogen onto the face. The exposure to the cold does not last long, only up to 3 minutes. It will feel cold, but it will not be painful or unbearable. Before the facial, your face will be cleansed, and after a moisturizing product will be applied.  

How does it work? 

Exposure to freezing temperatures causes your blood vessels to contract, and once your skin returns to a normal temperature, the vessels will dilate. This then increases blood flow to the face, which creates a more rejuvenated and glowing look on the skin. The oxygen supply to the skin also increases which boosts collagen, so your skin looks younger and plumper. You may even see a reduction in any fine lines you have. 

Benefits 

We know that it can give you a more rejuvenated face, but CryoFacials also have other benefits. The colder temperature can affect other areas on your face, for example, your lips can look plumper. 

This type of facial is also very convenient. In terms of time, sessions usually last a maximum of 30 minutes. Your session will end faster if you don’t have a lot of makeup to remove. Your skin also doesn't need any recovery because you won’t experience redness, etc. You will see results straight away, and we recommend that you have a CryoFacial every few weeks or every five weeks.
