Cryotherapy
Uses extreme cold to tighten skin and reduce inflammation.
Overview
Cryotherapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses extreme cold to tighten the skin, reduce inflammation, and promote overall rejuvenation.
During the procedure, the skin is exposed to sub-zero temperatures, which stimulates collagen production, improves blood circulation, and helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Cryotherapy is also known for its ability to reduce puffiness, soothe irritated skin, and even aid in recovery from certain skin conditions. Sessions are quick, typically lasting 10 to 20 minutes, with no downtime.
