Cryotherapy has become very popular for its anti-inflammatory benefits and small time commitment. Cryotherapy is helpful for treating sore muscles and aiding with injury recovery, but now it can also be considered an effective beauty treatment. Cryocare facials involve applying freezing cold vapors to your face in order to help your skin look younger and have more of a glow. Here are a few things to know before you schedule your first treatment:

Cryofacials Are Quick and Easy 

Unlike laser treatments, chemical peels, and traditional facials, cryofacials only take a few minutes of your time. The extremely cold temperatures work almost immediately to plump up your skin, boost circulation, give you a youthful glow, and minimize the appearance of fine lines, pores, wrinkles, and acne. Most people find they can return to work or even go out with friends right after their cryofacial beauty treatment.

Cryofacials Are Non-Invasive

If you have been afraid to try fillers or Botox because of the needles, or you are scared of deep chemical peels and laser treatments that require significant down time, cryofacials may be an ideal alternative. Cryofacials are completely non-invasive, and you will not experience any pain. You will feel a cold blast of air, similar to walking outside in a blizzard. But the cryofacial device only remains on any one section of your face for seconds at a time, making the experience much more tolerable and comfortable than you may expect.

Beware If You Have Recent Fillers

Recent fillers and extreme cold don't mix well with each other, so it is recommended that you wait at least a few weeks after getting fillers before you try a cryofacial. Since cryotherapy offers many of the same benefits as fillers, including plumping your skin and making lines/pores less visible, you may find you can skip the fillers once you begin getting regular cryofacials.

Cryofacials Can Help with Skin Conditions

Beyond the beautifying effects, cryofacials can actually help with certain skin conditions as well. If you suffer from dry, irritated, flaky skin, and have been diagnosed with a condition such as eczema or psoriasis, cryofacials can be a great complement to medication or serums prescribed by your dermatologist. It is believed that cryofacials' anti-inflammatory benefits are responsible for these beneficial health effects, since many skin conditions are linked to inflammation.

If these features and benefits of cryotherapy appeal to you, it's time to make your first appointment.
