What is a Cryotherapy Facial?
While you have many options for rejuvenating your skin, most of them use techniques like heat, laser energy, or exfoliation to accomplish the task. A cryotherapy facial offers a uniquely different option, using extremely cold temperatures to stimulate blood flow and improve your skin’s health and radiance.
What is a Cryotherapy Facial?
Have you ever noticed the pink, plump-looking cheeks you have when coming inside from the cold? A cryotherapy facial is a much more powerful version of this result. It uses intensely cold temperatures for a short period of time to trigger increased blood flow. As a result, your skin receives extra oxygen and nutrients, improving its health and appearance.
A cryotherapy facial works using liquid nitrogen, a form of gas that has been cooled till it becomes liquid. As this liquid nitrogen briefly contacts the skin, it triggers your skin’s natural reaction to cold with aesthetically pleasing results.
Cryotherapy treatments are one of many services offered as part of our VIP Platinum Membership Program, making it convenient to include this treatment in your skincare routine.
How Does a Cryotherapy Facial Work?
After cleaning and preparing your skin, your provider will apply liquid nitrogen through a tube. The liquid becomes an intensely cold gas as it expands, lowering the temperature of your skin. Your skin’s immediate response is to constrict blood flow, and when the cold is removed, the blood vessels dilate, bringing a rush of blood and oxygen to your skin.
While many people report that their skin feels very cold, they do not find it uncomfortable. The liquid nitrogen only contacts your skin for about three minutes in total, making treatment quick and easy to fit into busy schedules.
We usually perform a cryotherapy facial after a microdermabrasion session to prepare your skin for maximum benefits. However, during your consultation, we will develop a customized plan for your needs.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Cryotherapy Facial?
Almost anyone can benefit from a cryotherapy facial. Unlike lasers, it does not use light energy, making it safe for all skin tones. Good candidates typically want to achieve and maintain a bright, healthy glow. You may also be a candidate if you suffer from acne since the cold temperatures kill bacteria.
People with certain skin conditions, especially those that affect the skin’s response to cold, may not be good candidates for this treatment.
Is There Any Downtime After a Cryotherapy Facial?
A cryotherapy treatment does not require any downtime. You can return to your usual activities with a refreshed glow. The most common effects are minor numbness or tingling that fades within an hour or two. You will notice results immediately after treatment in the form of plumper, more vibrant-looking skin.
