What is facial cryomassage?

Cryotherapy for the face is a cosmetic procedure consisting in exposing the skin to cold in combination with massage manipulations. As a result, vasoconstriction occurs, and then expansion, which improves blood circulation, improves metabolic processes in cells, keratinized particles begin to exfoliate, the skin breathes and absorbs nutrients better. Even in ancient Egypt, cold compresses were used to anesthetize wounds and fractures..

For the first time, the term “cryotherapy” appeared thanks to the German priest Sebastian Kneipp, who began to effectively use this method in the treatment of problems with the musculoskeletal system. Massage techniques along with cryotherapy were carried out for the first time in 1984 by the Japanese Toshimo Yamauchi, who proved in practice the effectiveness of the method of affecting artificial cold on the joints. Then it was adopted by cosmetologists, actively using to get rid of benign formations, well, and the effect of rejuvenation became noticeable as a result of this.

Toshimo proposed to influence the body with icy air (-100 … -1800С). Later, a technique appeared that made it possible to apply low temperatures (using ice, liquid nitrogen, dry ice air) for cosmetic purposes. The direction began to develop in Germany, Poland, Japan, Russian doctors adopted this technique only in the years 80-90. Before carrying out cryomassage of the face with nitrogen, you can not clean it, in order to avoid allergic reactions. In salon conditions, the procedure consists of the following sequential actions:

1. Training. The patient is placed on the couch face up, hair is hidden under a hat (towel), the body is covered with a sheet, the face and neck are opened for work.
2. Treatment. The face is cleansed of cosmetics, treated with lotion.
3. Conducting a session. The specialist uses a wooden stick, with a cotton applicator at the end (some use a tube), which is dipped in liquid nitrogen, and then massage them.
4. Applying cream.

If the goal of the cryomassage procedure with nitrogen is rejuvenation, the manipulations are carried out quickly along the massage lines of the face. In this case, no discomfort is felt, direct contact with the skin does not occur, since an air cushion remains between it and the substance. If there are problems (in the form of warts, acne, etc.), a point effect is carried out, delaying the applicator in this place for 30 seconds. As a result of the procedure, crusts are formed, which will disappear in a couple of days, and pink updated skin will remain in their place.

How often can you do facial cryomassage?

Cryoprocedures for the face with nitrogen can be carried out 2-3 times a week with a break of a couple of days. This is due to the fact that the skin after exposure to nitrogen is not injured and quickly regenerates. After the first cryomassage, the result is not always noticeable, so experts often prescribe a course of procedures consisting of 10-15 sessions. The amount is determined based on the existing skin problem..

Repeat the procedure with nitrogen twice a year, preferably not in the summer, because after exposure to cold the skin becomes very sensitive to ultraviolet radiation. Running, complex skin problems are the reason for increasing or decreasing the number of sessions, their duration in time, and the frequency of repetition of courses.
