Cryomassage is a procedure that combines beneficial features cryotherapy and massage, that is mechanical impact on fabrics and the effect of low temperatures.

The essence of the method

The principle of cryomassage is based on the hardening effect of low temperatures. Cold exposure is short-lived; it causes a spasm of the surface capillaries, which is soon replaced by their compensatory expansion. This is greatly facilitated by the mechanical effect on tissue as a result of massage.
The result is the following types of effects on tissue:
  • pain reliever;
  • anti-inflammatory;
  • decongestant;
  • muscle relaxant;
  • trophic-regenerative;
  • immunomodulatory;
  • lymphatic drainage
Increased blood flow helps increase metabolism and more rapid elimination breakdown products, which leads to increased skin tone and elasticity.

Indications for cryomassage

Cryomassage is often recommended to be included in the rehabilitation program after injuries, including bruises and sprains. It will help with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, especially joints. Used frequently this technique in cosmetology - it allows you to restore skin elasticity, normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands, and helps reduce swelling after various traumatic manipulations.

Types of cryomassage

Moderately low temperatures (usually ice) and extremely low temperatures (below −20°C) can be used for the procedure. Ice is used in the form of wraps, massage with cubes, applications, and baths. Not only ordinary water is frozen, but also mineral water, vitamin compounds, and herbal decoctions. Lower temperatures are achieved in the cryochamber. Sometimes the body is not completely cooled, but reflex points are massaged using an applicator with liquid nitrogen.

Ice cryomassage

Ice is applied to the massaged area and slowly moved along the skin along the massage lines. This part of the procedure lasts no more than 3 minutes. An exception may be the condition after an injury - the ice is left for 10-15 minutes to remove pain. In other cases, after cold exposure, the patient is warmed or recommended physical exercise(with cryomassage of the body).

Cryomassage with liquid nitrogen

It is carried out using a cotton applicator, with which liquid nitrogen is quickly applied to the surface of the facial skin, sometimes in a thin layer to reflex points. It destroys surface cells and evaporates when heated. After the procedure remains clean skin delicate pink color.

Translated from Greek, “kryo” means “cold.” The rejuvenating properties of ice have been known since ancient times.

This procedure is considered a kind of prototype of modern cryomassage. The founder of cryomassage was the Japanese scientist Toshimo Yamauchi. He was the first to use liquid nitrogen in medicinal purposes, and later his ideas began to be applied in cosmetology.

The essence of the procedure and its effect on facial skin

The essence of the procedure comes down to exposing human skin to liquid nitrogen. Thanks to its special properties, it is able to cure many skin diseases, get rid of warts, and restore a healthy and well-groomed appearance.

The impact occurs as follows. In contact with, liquid nitrogen at a sufficiently low temperature (-196 degrees Celsius) causes contraction blood vessels, which subsequently expand rapidly. This stimulates blood circulation and speeds up metabolism. The cryomassage method is effective due to a short temperature difference, which gives a tangible result: the oval of the face is tightened, tone increases, and expression wrinkles, color improves.

Main indications for use

Indications for cryomassage are:

  • enlarged pores, decreased skin turgor and elasticity;
  • elimination of postoperative scars, swelling and bruises;
  • inflammatory processes and acne;
  • disturbances in the functioning of the sebaceous and sweat glands;
  • low skin immunity;
  • prevention of age-related changes.

Cryomassage is performed before cosmetic procedures and operations to get rid of dead cells.

Methodology

In a good clinic, an experienced cosmetologist is obliged to familiarize the patient with the methodology of the procedure, as well as fully describe the process of preparing for it:

  • It is not recommended to carry out peelings before cryomassage so as not to cause irritation;
  • You should refrain from applying decorative cosmetics;
  • After cryomassage it is recommended to apply to the face nutritious cream;
  • Be sure to warn your doctor about the presence of allergies and inform him about the medications you are taking.

The procedure itself goes as follows:

  • the patient is seated in a chair and the skin is treated with a special lotion;
  • for convenience, the client’s hair is fixed with a bandage or tucked under a cap;
  • the cosmetologist dips a stick with a cotton swab into a thermos where liquid nitrogen is stored;
  • the doctor runs the swab over the face with quick and intermittent movements along massage lines or along problem areas;
  • After the procedure, a moisturizing or nourishing cream is applied to the face.

The cosmetologist must act without delay. Liquid nitrogen at room temperature turns into steam, it will simply evaporate without having the desired effect.

The procedure itself takes little time - approximately 8-12 minutes.

Cryomassage against acne

The duration of the procedure is 3-5 minutes. Processed directly problem areas. The impact on each of them is no more than 15 seconds. For serious formations (for example, purulent rashes), the exposure time is increased, and the cotton swab is pressed tightly to the skin.

Cryomassage effectively fights pathogenic microbes on the surface of the skin, normalizes skin immunity and heals acne.

Removal of warts, keratomas and papillomas with liquid nitrogen

Exposure to cold is an effective method of combating benign skin tumors. In this case, the wart or papilloma freezes, and destabilizing processes occur inside it. At the cauterization site, a small bubble with liquid appears inside, where after a couple of days a healthy layer of skin forms.

Cauterization occurs within 10-30 seconds.

If the affected area is large, then the session is repeated after a few days.

Cryomassage of facial skin for demodicosis

Demodecosis is a skin infection by the demodex mite. The use of cryomassage in this case leads to remission of the disease.

The number of procedures for demodicosis varies from 10 to 15 sessions.

The affected areas are treated for 3-5 seconds. The session ends with persistent erythema (redness) of the skin.

This serious treatment, which, in addition to cryomassage, includes taking medicines and following a special diet.

Acne treatment

For acne, cryomassage is performed either using a special device or manually. When treating acne with a device, the doctor uses special equipment that sprays liquid nitrogen onto the affected areas from a certain distance. The manual method is based on the already known treatment of the face with a cotton swab.

IN last years This cosmetic procedure – cryomassage – is on everyone’s lips. Fashionistas and fashionistas consider it their duty to try it out, older women are in a hurry to regain their former skin elasticity, and teenagers dream of getting rid of acne with its help.

In addition, the entire procedure is carried out very quickly and the result is visible immediately.

This type of massage can help remove some wrinkles, make the skin more elastic, and normalize the secretion of the sebaceous glands.

How to do cryomassage

The main component of massage is nitrogen; this liquid has won the love and trust of specialists, as it has unique therapeutic properties.

As a rule, a person who decides to undergo facial cryomassage undergoes a preliminary examination. The body is checked for allergies, diseases and other problems. Based on the type of problem, one of two types of procedure is selected:

  1. A simple and non-intensive procedure does not involve touching the applicator to the skin. All movements are carried out pointwise certain areas or via massage lines.
  2. During a deep massage, freezing occurs, which is aimed at destroying the tissue. This method It is applied pointwise to destroy papillomas and acne. The applicator is held on a given area a little longer, about 30 seconds, which allows you to destroy the tumor.

Under the influence of cold, the vessels on the face instantly narrow and slowly expand; in addition, additional capillaries begin to work. They also expand, increasing blood flow to the skin.

The time frame for massage varies depending on individual factors, skin condition and type of problem.

To obtain the most noticeable effect, you will need approximately 15 sessions.

Cryomassage is intended for:

  • removing wrinkles, improving facial tone and lightening;
  • improving blood circulation;
  • treatment of papillomas, pimples, blackheads, acne and warts;
  • strengthening the results of cosmetic procedures, surgeries, Botox injections and resurfacing;
  • treatment of seborrhea and allergic rash any type;
  • in parallel with other procedures (facial cleansing, etc.)

Advantages and disadvantages

Facial cryomassage with liquid nitrogen is no exception to the rule and, like all similar procedures, has positive and negative sides.

The clear advantages of cosmetic services include:

  • the ability to combine with various medical and cosmetic procedures without harm to health;
  • it will become a “lifeline” for people in the active phase of insolation and for those who are prohibited from doing mesotherapy;
  • the recovery period after each session is very short, and therefore several sessions can be scheduled for one week;
  • the most a big plus For everyone, it is impossible to injure the skin during the process (this is due to the fact that during the procedure there is not even the slightest contact with the epidermis).

However, facial cryomassage also has unpleasant consequences. These include swelling of the face and redness in the first day after the session, tingling and a feeling of frost on the skin.

Contraindications

Cryomassage of the face has its own risks, so there are the following contraindications to it:

  • heat;
  • severe headaches, migraines, herpes;
  • people who have suffered a heart attack or stroke are prohibited from passing;
  • allergy to cold;
  • the presence of skin diseases such as purulent inflammation and rosacea.

Reviews and ratings from real patients

You can endlessly read descriptions of the service on the Internet, watch commercials, study contraindications or look at promising advertising brochures, but this will not give such a complete understanding of the procedure as reviews from those who have already experienced facial cryomassage.

As already mentioned, a small result can be noticed approximately twenty-four hours after the procedure, when redness and swelling go away. Here are some reviews from those who have tried the massage:

“After the first time, smoothing out of wrinkles is visible...”

“The skin is noticeably smoother after just a couple of procedures, the muscles become more toned...”

“After several procedures, there was a noticeable improvement in blood circulation, and at the end of the course, not a trace of warts or similar formations remained!”

“Pigment spots have disappeared, there are fewer subcutaneous acne, the skin is slightly brightened with each procedure.”

“The work of the sebaceous glands is normalized and as a result - oily skin no longer has excessive shine. And in those places where it was dry, it no longer peels.”

“... helps well in combination with other cosmetic services.”

Home procedure: truth or myth?

No matter what various Internet resources say, no matter what methods of this procedure at home they present - don’t believe it, it’s simply impossible. Any reviews about a session performed at home using liquid nitrogen are pure and blatant fake.

Cryomassage of the face can only be performed in a specialized salon and with the permission of a doctor, who will check all contraindications and monitor the progress of the procedure.

But how good alternative An expensive salon service can use ice. It was he who helped our mothers and grandmothers a long time ago and will help us now!

At home you need to freeze plain water, adding various useful herbs, fruits and vegetables. You should choose those components that will help your problem. Various reviews from girls and experts say that it is best to make a decoction of several herbs and freeze it. This option will effectively help with acne or improve tone.

To summarize, we can safely say that the cryomassage procedure really works, as evidenced by numerous customer reviews. The most important thing is that it is universal - it is suitable for both a teenager suffering from skin imperfections and a woman with aging skin in need of increased tone.

The healing properties of cold have long been known to mankind. Nowadays, the effect of low temperatures on humans is used for both cosmetic and physiotherapeutic purposes. This branch of medicine is called cryotherapy.

What's happened

Cryotherapy activates metabolic processes and is used in the treatment of ENT diseases, eliminating cosmetic defects and skin diseases.

The essence of the method is to apply extreme cold (up to -160 C) for a short period of time. Vessels and capillaries are sharply compressed. After the end of exposure to cold, the capillaries begin to expand sharply.

As a result of the shock effect, metabolic processes are stimulated, blood flow noticeably accelerates, thereby cleansing blood vessels, toning muscles and having a beneficial effect on nervous system. The flow of arterial blood, enriched with oxygen and nutrients, to human organs increases.

General cryotherapy is carried out in a special cryochamber. The skin is cooled to 0 C using sprayed liquid nitrogen. There is a general improvement, strengthening and even rejuvenation of the body.

Also liquefied nitrogen is used for local cryotherapy when not the whole body, but individual zones are exposed to cold. This procedure is used to heal wounds, scars, and treat inflammatory processes.

For cryomassage, use a cotton swab wound on wooden stick. The swab is treated with liquid nitrogen and brought close to the desired area of ​​the body, helping to cool it.

Application of cryotherapy for therapeutic purposes and in cosmetology:

  • rehabilitation after operations and injuries;
  • therapy for joint inflammation;
  • in case of dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system;

Tools used

The following instruments are used to perform cryomassage:

  • Cotton swab or applicator. With its help, liquid nitrogen is applied to defective areas, providing instant freezing and slow thawing. The degree of freezing depends on the period of exposure.

  • Cryoprobe. With its help, liquefied nitrogen reaches the desired area under the skin. The exposure time ranges from 30 to 90 seconds.

Methods and movements

When using a cotton swab (applicator), the specialist lowers it into a special cylinder with nitrogen and runs it along the massage lines of the face with light, very fast movements. The principle of cryomassage using equipment (cryospray) is similar to the previous one, however, more uniform cooling of the skin is possible and it is possible to change the temperature of the nitrogen depending on the characteristics of the client.
