We’re fortunate to grow old with our friends, family, and loved ones. And while aging brings with it some incredible experiences, the slowing of our body's processes is never easy to adjust to. The decrease in collagen and elastin production affects the touch and appearance of our skin, draining the supple, taut look that’s given us a little pep in our step throughout the years.

If you’ve heard about botox, there’s a chance you have heard about “frotox”. You read that right! A cryotherapy facial is one of modern skincare’s most exciting and accessible treatments .

The cryotherapy facial comes from a long history of estheticians and skin science experts across the globe looking for more ways to utilize what’s naturally available to us. A cryotherapy facial is a quick, easy approach to supporting your skin health through a treatment that keeps it looking radiant and supple, restoring the nutrients and essential proteins that were once lost.

Your cryotherapy facial will start off the way most facials do – with your esthetician helping you get comfortable and adjusted. Then, they’ll get to work! They might perform a gentle facial massage to help with lymphatic drainage prior to the "cold" part. And after cleansing and drying, moving on to the fun part. You can expect the cryotherapy segment to last around 10-12 minutes. At Mixed Esthetics, we utilize cryotherapy as part of our customized signature facials .

It’s all too common for steam and heat to be used to open up, loosen and soften the sebum within to begin eradicating ingrown hairs and excessive bacteria. Cold does the opposite! It helps to keep the skin taut, and as the liquid nitrogen cools the skin, vasoconstriction (blood vessel tightening) occurs – leaving the skin looking glassy and fabulous.

The use of cryotherapy addresses swelling, conditions like atopic dermatitis , and works hard to diminish inflammation, and protects the immune system. All of those systems together, including the lymph nodes, work together to protect your immune system and fight off bacteria.

The cryotherapy facial is the iciest, coldest, cold there is over your face and neck in the form of sub-zero temperatures of -200 to -300 degrees Fahrenheit of vaporized liquid nitrogen. Since the air is moving over your skin consistently, it's not as scary as it sounds. In fact, most people find the process refreshing and relaxing. And if you're the type of person who "runs hot" or is going through menopause, you might just fall in love with this facial.

With so many skin care treatments available, it might feel tough to determine what is and isn’t for you. In this case, the only way to know for sure is to jump on in!

If you’ve ever experienced being put under for a surgical procedure, you probably aren’t thrilled and chomping at the bit to get back on the table. The greatest part about a noninvasive treatment is that you can resume regular life immediately after your appointment

There’s nothing better for your skin than pure, uninterrupted cold. And while heat plays a significant role in many treatments, it’s time to let it take a backseat and see what “frotox” is all about. Combined with other treatments that are suited for addressing your concerns, you’ll be on the path toward healthy, radiant skin in no time!

It’s a tricky, slippery slope to waxing, strengthening, tightening, and masking every other week. With certain skincare treatments , you have to skip out on others or sacrifice certain medications and products while you’re going through treatment. The cryotherapy facial could not be more compatible with all of the above, so if you’ve been putting off taking better care of your skin for fear of causing harm, throw your worries aside.

Mixed Esthetics is here to offer your skin the chance to grow, restore and rest through a series of services that focus on whole-body skin health. Don’t put off another day of bettering your skin and taking care of yourself. We cannot wait to support you through this journey!
