Enter cryotherapy (or cold therapy), which boasts many good-for-your face benefits like pore tightening, baby fuzz blasting, and texture enhancing. Unlike other treatments, it’s 100% safe to do if you’ve been in the sun. In fact, it feels great after you’ve been in the sun. A continuous blast of chilled air to the face that isn’t nearly as torturous as submerging your entire body into a -200° to -284° Fahrenheit tank?
But What Exactly Does Facial Cryo Entail?
Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, a cosmetic dermatologist says “Cryotherapy is liquid nitrogen delivered to the skin and is a quick fix for various skin concerns to make you look great for any occasion. It helps minimize pore size, heal puffiness in the face, increase blood flow, and reduces inflammation, acne, leaving your skin with a dewy glow. I combine cryotherapy with my other signature treatments in my new Paparazzi Facial to give immediate results, with no downtime to promote long-term skin rejuvenation.”
The best part is that the cold bursts (which contract muscle fibers and remove dead skin cells at the same time) also stimulate collagen production. When using cryotherapy on face, blood is shunted away from the skin quickly and then rushes back, causing an increase in collagen production. With that, wrinkles and fine lines can be reduced and skin will be tighter.
The cold level during the facial treatment is more tolerable since the cryo-technician is constantly moving the applicator. This means you can get nice and frosty for a good six minutes, as opposed to the usual three minutes for body treatments. And while cryo is safe if you’ve been in the sun (unlike other no-no treatments like lasers and micro-needling), your skin may be more sensitive. During the treatment, the cold temperature will help with the pain and inflammation associated with sunburn.
