Treating “Skinflammation” Using Cryo Aesthetic Technology
For years, athletes have used cooling methods to reduce inflammation, prevent swelling, and aid in rehab from injuries. Now, skin care experts have learned to incorporate the same cooling therapy into their practice. Cryotherapy produces a tightening effect in the skin, quickly reducing puffiness, boosting penetration of medical-grade skincare, and rejuvenating the skin.
Inflammation of the skin may appear as redness, dullness, irritation, dryness, or skin laxity. These skin issues can manifest from extrinsic factors such as UV rays, or lifestyle factors such as nutrition, hydration, stress and smoking.
Glacial Skin™ harnesses the biological relationship between cold temperatures and the skin to introduce healing.
Two of the treatment options are:
Glacial Gloss is a full facial treatment that includes a glycolic peel, microdermabrasion, mask, and moisturizer. This cryo-modulation facial provides continuous cooling throughout its entirety. By regulating the inflammatory process of the skin, cryotherapy provides a means to reduce inflammation while combating skin concerns such as premature aging. Glacial Gloss is commonly scheduled every four weeks or as recommended by your provider. This treatment will make you feel relaxed, your skin brighter, and leave you glowing.
Glacial Glide is a 10-minute treatment with precision cooling and a topical solution based on your individual skin needs. This is a quick and effective treatment that gives you “red carpet-ready” skin in less than 30 minutes! Skin pores contract with our blood vessels when exposed to cold temperatures, shrinking their appearance temporarily and leaving a firm and tight feeling within your skin. Glacial Glide is great post-procedure after any ablative laser as downtime will be reduced significantly, redness diminished, and swelling decreased. This treatment is wonderful for maintenance and in combination with other facials, as it will target redness directly while addressing other skin concerns. Not only is this treatment amazing for a quick “glow-up” and calming irritated skin post-procedure, but it’s also an optimal add-on to multiple services available at Glo Medical Aesthetics.
