Cryo facials are the new anti-ageing beauty treatment, using freezing temperatures to give you back your youthful glow. What is it? Cryotherapy is a famous new medical treatment where the patient is put in a tank with near-freezing temperatures. This new phenomenon has proven to be incredibly useful in the medical world, helping with issues such as muscle healing, eczema and even cancer prevention! The Cryo Facial, on the other hand, is a new rendition of the technology used in cryotherapy and is used for its anti-ageing properties. How is it done? To carry out a Cryo facial, beams of vaporized liquid nitrogen are targeted to the face. The liquid nitrogen is at freezing temperatures and when directly touching the face, typically at a temperature ranging between -130º and -180ºC. The treatment only takes 2-3 minutes and doesn’t require a recovery period, making it perfect for a woman on the go. Benefits: This treatment can have many benefits such as tightening pores and filling in wrinkles. The pressure of the liquid nitrogen also stimulates collagen production in the skin. The cold temperatures that touch your skin loosen up the taut muscles in your face, instantly softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen is a protein that helps increase cell turnover in the skin, therefore increasing the skin’s elasticity, plumping it up as needed, and overall giving you the youthful glow you desire. Cryo facials also help exfoliate the skin of any dead cells, leaving a fresh layer of healthy skin in its wake. Where can I get this done? One place in India itself that you can get both cryotherapy for the entire body as well as cryo facials done is “Yugeva Cryo” in Gujarat. This clinic is one of the first to specialize in these treatments in India, but most definitely will not be the last considering Cryotherapy’s growing popularity.
