Facial cryotherapy

Facial cryotherapy is a non-invasive cosmetic and medical procedure that uses vaporized liquid nitrogen to expose the skin to sub-zero temperatures. This controlled cold exposure induces vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, stimulating collagen production, and activating the skin’s natural regeneration mechanisms. The result is firmer, revitalized, radiant skin with improved tone.

Indications

• Reduction of inflammation and soothing of skin irritations
• Drainage of edema and reduction of dark circles
• Toning and revitalization of tired or congested skin
• Treatment of acne-prone, sensitive, or eczema-affected skin
• Stimulation of cellular regeneration and improvement of local skin metabolism
• Prevention of signs of aging and maintenance of an anti-aging effect

Procedure

• The procedure is performed in a clinical setting, without anesthesia
• The specialist uses a portable device that emits vaporized liquid nitrogen (or carbon dioxide) onto the face
• The procedure is generally painless and produces a cooling or pleasant tingling sensation
