CRYOTHERAPY

Definition

CRYOTHERAPY FACIAL USES COOL AIR TO STIMULATE MULTIPLE HEALTH BENEFITS FOR THE SKIN BY SAFELY EXPOSING THE SKIN SURFACE TO SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES.

A controlled stream of air is used to cool the skin on the face and neck area. The Cryotherapy facial treatment applies pressurised and condensed air to the face/neck area to stimulate the production of elastin and collagen, tighten pores and even skin tone. The cryogenically cooled air will be applied to the skin through a fine jet, allowing focused and targeted treatment. When the skin experiences these cold temperatures, the body’s natural defence system is triggered. The procedure will release endorphins and boost blood circulation. The overall skin response to the treatment will be to recover, repair and rejuvenate.

OVERVIEW

THE CRYOTHERAPY FACIAL TREATMENT FOCUSES ON THE EPIDERMIS.

Cryogenically cooled air will activate collagen and elastin production in the dermis which increases the skin’s capacity to rejuvenate and regain elasticity. The cool air is comfortable on the skin surface and completely superficial. During the treatment, cryogenically cooled compressed air is powered onto the face and neck with the use of a localised device. This procedure will expose the superficial layers of the skin to extreme low temperatures for a short period of time. The process is completely safe and tolerable, yet the skin interprets the extreme cold temperatures as a threat to its wellbeing. This will accelerate skin rejuvenation and increase blood flow, revealing a refreshed complexion.

AFTERCARE

THE CRYOTHERAPY FACIAL TREATMENT IS A NON-INVASIVE TREATMENT SO THERE IS NO DOWNTIME POST TREATMENT.

The aftercare regime revolves around preventing the loss of moisture in the skin. We recommend cleansing, toning and moisturising your face and neck every morning and night. It is important to moisturise the skin well post-treatment. We do not recommend applying perfume or perfumed products to the treated area for 24 hours or any exfoliating skincare products for 48 hours post-treatment.

The effects of the Cryotherapy facial treatment are visible instantaneously. However, the recommended frequency for the Cryotherapy facial treatment is a course of 3 to 10 sessions weekley, followed by maintenance treatments once a month.
