Cryogenic Therapy

The application of cold temperatures to all parts of our body is not a new theory- ice packs, for example have been around for ages. Dermatology has used cryogenic therapy for over a quarter of a century. Due to its low temperature, this anti-bacterial procedure sanitizes the skin. Pores appear smaller, excess sebum, blackheads and follicular debris are exfoliated to unclog surface skin. The treatment is ideal for acne and oily prone skin. If needed, it can be done twice a week for acne. This procedure can be added to peels at the end of treatment to reduce redness because it creates vasoconstriction and an anti-inflammatory response in treated skin. It also immediately increases the rate of cell turnover. This causes sun damaged cells to be shed, facial color to become more even. The end result is firmer, smoother skin.
