One of the newest procedures in the cosmetology industry is cryomassage of the face. This is a special type of therapy during which liquid nitrogen is used. The procedure is very popular, moreover, it is suitable for everyone - men and women, young and old clients. Cryomassage of the face does not last long and is absolutely painless, even pleasant. It is relevant in cases where it is necessary to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, tone the skin and cope with age-related changes.
Principle and basis of procedure
Cryomassage of the face - a procedure that is performed using liquid nitrogen. This is a kind of liquid that has neither smell nor color, but only clouds of steam that surround it. The boiling point of this chemical element is -1960 degrees Celsius, but at the same time, under the conditions of the earth's atmospheric pressure, it is completely safe.
Due to the fact that liquid nitrogen hasan incredibly low temperature, upon contact with the skin, it activates previously “sleeping” processes in it. Firstly, vessels and capillaries begin to work faster. Secondly, fat metabolism in the subcutaneous tissues is accelerated. As a result, wen disappear, the pores are cleared and become much smaller. Thirdly, such a sharp temperature drop raises the overall tone of the dermis. That is why the face after cryomassage becomes more radiant, young and he althy.
Types of cryomassage
This procedure is recommended not only to maintain a he althy face. It is also highly effective for specific skin problems such as acne, acne, dermatitis and even aging. Due to the fact that each client had their own individual needs, conditionally cryomassage of the face was divided into two categories or two types:
- Deep. This procedure is aimed at combating such flaws as papillomas, comedones, dermatitis, and so on. In this case, a cotton swab, with which the massage is performed, is applied to the affected area of the skin for 20-30 seconds. Very deep wrinkles are smoothed out in a similar way.
- Standard. The cosmetologist simply draws along the massage lines, thus normalizing the work of the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
Also, depending on the needs of the client, facial cryomassage can last from 10 to 30 minutes. Note that this procedure needs regularity (as a rule, it is 15 sessions). The course of facial skin cryomassage is prescribed by a dermatologist, and without his approval, sign up forthis procedure is not recommended.
Pre-training
As such, this procedure does not require preparation. There are no restrictions on sunbathing or the use of certain cosmetics. The only thing that the beautician performs before proceeding with the procedure is a cold test. Liquid nitrogen is applied to the forearm, and if the reaction is within the normal range, then the procedure begins. Before the procedure itself, it is necessary to remove makeup from the face, degrease the skin and apply a moisturizing lotion to it. Then it is recommended to lightly massage the face, as if preparing it for the further procedure, warming it up. In addition, we note that cryomassage of the face with liquid nitrogen is not recommended if the head hurts (for various reasons). Headache will make the procedure extremely unpleasant, and maybe even a little painful. In such cases, the session is either rescheduled or medications are applied.
Execution technique
Liquid nitrogen is an element that is stored in special thermoses. In order to apply it to the skin, the beautician uses a wooden stick, on which a cotton swab is wound. This tampon is dipped into a thermos, and after that they are carried out with cursory movements along the main massage lines. It is important to know that a tampon usually does not touch the skin. The massaging effect is due to the effect of evaporating nitrogen. As mentioned above, in the presence of special injuries or skin diseases, cryomassage is performed according to a different scheme. In most cases, it involvesdirect contact of a cotton swab with the skin. How exactly should acne, pimples and other "unpleasant moments" be treated with liquid nitrogen?
Features of therapy
Standard or general cryomassage of the face with liquid nitrogen improves skin tone and color. If the face had a pale, yellowish or grayish tint, after the procedure a he althy blush will appear on it. Also, such a massage eliminates flabbiness and fatigue of the skin, relieves bags and bruises under the eyes.
As the reviews say, cryomassage of the face with nitrogen can be a peeling at the same time. To do this, you only need to hold a cotton swab on each area of \u200b\u200bthe skin for 15-20 seconds. This will give an excellent exfoliating effect, all dead skin cells will evaporate, the skin surface will become more even and smooth.
Blackheads can also be eliminated with cryomassage. To do this, it is worth lingering on the affected areas for no more than 15 seconds. The pores will be cleansed and narrowed.
Severe suppuration and reddened pimples are also treated locally with liquid nitrogen. The cotton swab lingers on the affected areas until a slight blanching can be traced. After that, the beautician moves on to the next abscess. Each pimple is treated 2-3 times.
Additionally, we note that in some salons hollow porous metal rollers are used to carry out the cryomassage procedure for the face (see photo).

Pros and cons
All procedures in the field of cosmetology have their advantages and disadvantages. The first include the following factors:
- Cryomassage is suitable for those who are contraindicated in mesotherapy during active insolation.
- The recovery period is very short, so the procedure can be performed up to several times a week.
- Cryomassage is perfectly combined with other cosmetic procedures.
- Liquid nitrogen is notcause of pigment spots. Moreover, there is no direct contact with the skin, so the risk of injury is reduced to zero.
Cons in this case are very minor. Within a day after the massage, a slight swelling and redness appear. These symptoms are accompanied by a slight tingling sensation and a feeling of coldness.
What happens after a massage
Restoration of facial skin with the help of cryomassage is considered the most gentle and at the same time effective. However, immediately after the procedure, peeling is often observed, and it is worth saying that this is absolutely normal. Simply, the old keratinized cells die off, and they are replaced by new, younger ones. They make the skin fresher, younger and more elastic. Severe peeling can be observed in those places where pustules or pimples were located. Until they are completely cured, this tendency is the norm. It is important to apply a thick moisturizer after each cryomassage, even if the skin itself is not very dry. With the same tool, you need to lubricate the face in the morning and evening so that the fat balance is not disturbed. It is important to remember that cryomassage and tanning are incompatible things, so this procedure is best done in autumn or winter. If you sign up for cryomassage in the summer, use a cream with a high SPF level.
When Pregnant
Carrying a baby makes a woman's body very vulnerable and simply unpredictable. Almost all cosmetic procedures are prohibited during this period, however, cryomassage is notis among them. As such, there is no prohibition on carrying out a procedure using liquid nitrogen during pregnancy, but you should consult a doctor before starting the course. Also, if unwanted side effects appear during the massage, it should be stopped immediately. Note that any impact on the face during the period of bearing the baby provokes an increase in the tone of the uterus. In the early stages of pregnancy, this can provoke a miscarriage. That is why the safest type of cryomassage during this wonderful period is a home procedure using ice cubes.
Cryomassage at home
Manipulations with the use of liquid nitrogen can only be carried out in a beauty parlor under the guidance of a professional. The slightest violation of safety regulations with this chemical element - and you can get very deplorable side effects. Cryotherapy at home is the use of herbs, fruits, vegetables and other natural ingredients frozen in the form of cubes.
- For dry skin, it is recommended to freeze crushed fruits such as bananas, strawberries, blackberries, plums, raspberries, apples and others.
- For oily skin, freezing freshly squeezed citrus juices is best.
Cubes in which the so-called vegetable purees - carrots, potatoes, cucumbers, radishes - have been frozen can be very effective. This puree must be mixed with olive or coconut oil and placed in appropriate molds that will go into the freezer. With these cubesyou can not only do cryomassage, but also nourish the skin with useful ingredients.
Features of implementation
When performing cryomassage at home with ice cubes, remember the simple rules. Firstly, all movements should be carried out exclusively along the massage lines. From the nose, it is worth moving to the temples through the lower eyelids or through the forehead, from the center of the chin along the cheekbones to the ears. The duration of the massage should be no more than five minutes. Melted ice cubes should be replaced with new ones prepared in advance. Immediately after the massage, pat your face dry with a soft towel and generously lubricate with a moisturizer. Cosmetologists also recommend to carry out this procedure in the morning, best of all - immediately after sleep. You will also activate metabolic processes that will allow you to maintain skin tone throughout the day.
