What Is Cryotherapy Facial And How Can You Add It To Your Regime?
Cryotherapy is any form of cold therapy, where cold devices
are placed direct on the skin. Cryotherapy or cold therapy can be used anywhere on the body for various benefits, it is regularly used when you hurt your body,
with a bump, bruise, cut or muscle strain, as it restricts blood flow, decreases inflammation and numbs pain.
When your skin is exposed to cold temperatures blood vessels
and the pores in your skin contract. Once your skin returns to normal temperatures your blood vessels dilate quickly which increases blood flow and oxygen to the area that has been cooled. This leads to an immediate reaction and on sensitive skin such as your face, you will see skin contract and an instant reduction in redness and inflammation.
So, what are the benefits of using cryotherapy as a part of your skincare regime?
Cryotherapy will decrease redness, reduce puffiness and boost skin tone, it also feels fantastic. You may also find over time that cold therapy will lift, sculpt and tighten your skin, especially around your neck and jawline.
