Capital Cryo Facials Salem Oregon

If you’re busy with work, family, school or the kids, you don’t have a lot of time for yourself. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take care of yourself! If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to achieve healthier and more youthful looking skin, facial cryotherapy just might be for you.

What Is A Cryo Facial?

A cryo facial, or cryotherapy facial, is a professional treatment that involves blowing a stream of air that is colder than ice through the face and neck, as a means of maintaining youth and beauty. In this case, it’s -200 degrees Fahrenheit or -300 degrees Fahrenheit in the form of vaporized liquid nitrogen, which is pretty colder than ice.

But before you run for the hills, know that it is not as scary as it sounds—it only lasts for a few minutes, and the air constantly moves over the skin to avoid blasting any one spot. When applied to the face, cryotherapy can help tighten skin, improve collagen production, reduce inflammation, and even relieve stress. Most people are surprised to find it’s actually pretty refreshing and relaxing. But it’s the results that will have you running back for more.

There are two main types of cryotherapy: whole body cryotherapy (WBC) and localized cryotherapy (LCT). WBC involves standing in a chamber that surrounds your entire body with cold air for two to three minutes. LCT, on the other hand, involves using a small device to target specific areas of the body with cold air. Facial cryotherapy falls into the latter category.

Cryo Facial Benefits

Cryotherapy offers a variety of benefits, from boosting the nervous system to smoothing the skin’s texture. But for our purposes, we’ll focus on the anti-aging effects.

Tightening Pores

In science class, you probably learned that heat expands and cold contracts. The same applies to your pores. We commonly use steam and heat to loosen up and soften the sebum (aka the waxy gunk that builds up inside them), but there’s nothing like the cold for keeping them trim and taut.

The skin surface is chilled with liquid nitrogen, which is colder than ice, to cause immediate vasoconstriction, or tightening of the blood vessels, which results in those pesky pores being eliminated. As a result of the body’s temperature-regulating response, skin cells contract, resulting in firmer, glassier-looking skin.

Reducing the Appearance Of Wrinkles

In addition to shrinking pores, subzero temperatures can also soften lines—partly due to the tightening effect caused by subzero temperatures, but also due to the increased flow of blood. In order to maintain body heat, your blood rushes towards vital organs when you are suddenly exposed to cold air.

Capillaries expand, white blood cells protect you, and adrenaline is released to stimulate the organs-all of which facilitate cell turnover and stimulate the healing process. As your body temperature returns to normal after the cryo session, the blood vessels re-dilate, allowing fresh, nutrient-rich blood to flow into your face and extremities to restore and rejuvenate tired, saggy skin.

Inflammation and puffiness can be soothed

A well-documented benefit of cryotherapy is that it reduces swelling by stimulating lymphatic drainage, which reduces fluid buildup in the body. Cryotherapy works by reducing swelling by stimulating lymphatic drainage. A slimmer face and a reduced inflammatory response (which can lead to redness, irritation, and even acne) are the results of this. Besides repairing cells, lymphatic drainage also fights bacteria and toxins for a clear, calm complexion, which is really beneficial to the immune system.

The Under-Eye Area Can Be Brightened

Have you ever tried freezing a spoon under your eyes? The old wives may have been right. Dark circles appear under the eyes because blood vessels are exposed through thin skin. Using a cryo facial improves shadowy under-eye bags and even minimizes swelling, leaving a smooth, bright, and ready-to-face under-eye area thanks to the constrictive effects of frigid temperatures on blood vessels.

What are the options and costs of cryo facials?

The benefits of cold therapy can be enjoyed just about anywhere, whether you opt for an in-office experience or opt for a DIY version. Here are some options:

Consult a professional

It’s best to leave liquid nitrogen-powered cryo facials to the professionals. In addition to their training in safety and proper use of this powerful substance, licensed professionals are also equipped with machines that can customize the experience to meet your expectations. To make sure it is as comfortable and effective as possible, they can adjust pressure, temperature, and airflow.

Depending on the location and scope of service, an in-office cryo facial can cost between $40 and $100. The cryo part is usually performed for ten minutes or less, but a longer service may also include cleansing, masks, massaging, and more.

With cryoskin facials, science works in harmony with your body’s natural systems in order to naturally destroy fat cells, lose fat cells, and pass them through our lymphatic system, ideal for treating cellulite without downtime. Fat-freezing technology is the best way to get rid of stubborn cellulite and get a slimmer, smoother body almost immediately.

It’s also a great way to pamper yourself. So why not give it a try? You might just be surprised at how much you love it!
