One of the new facials on the market that I tried was the Cryofacial. LOVED it! It was very relaxing and I noticed a significant glow right after the treatment. This device uses pressurized liquid nitrogen vapors applied to the scalp, face, and neck with a cryo-probe allowing the vapors to flow onto the skin softly. The intense cold causes rapid vasoconstriction and then the stable dilation of blood vessels and lymphatic capillaries that will enhance the nutrition of the skin. A course of treatments will improve skin tone, blood supply and nutrition. It promotes rejuvenation of mature skin and improves problematic skin such as acne. No more excuses, this is a ten minute facial and a great way to cool down on a hot summer day!
Another device that uses cool technology is the Cryo-T-Shock. This device not only tightens and tones the skin on the face, it also eliminates bulges of localized fat as well as reduces cellulite on the body. The technology uses thermography and cryotherapy (thermal shock) to destroy fat cells and increase skin collagen production. Due to thermal shock response caused by hot and cold temperatures you will achieve the best results in 3-5 sixty-minute sessions done over a few weeks. I always suggest that my clients schedule their workouts after a Cryo-T-Shock and drink lots of water to release more toxins.
If you are looking for a way to get rid of stubborn fat pockets that are difficult to remove despite diet and exercise you may be a CoolSculpting candidate. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat-freezing technology (cryolipolysis) with long term results. Fat cells do not like the cold and at a certain temperature they will freeze. Once that happens, your body will naturally eliminate the dead cells in two to four months, resulting in a 20-25% reduction of fat in the treated area. After a few weeks you will put on an old pair of jeans and realize they are fitting a little bit looser and after two to four months you will experience your ultimate result! This is normally a one and done type of treatment but having a consultation at the doctor’s office, before treatment, will help with realistic expectations.
These are not miracle treatments, so you must do the work as well. Help keep those results by staying physically active and drinking lots of water. Maintenance treatments are required. These are great ways of staying cool in the summer and staying young in the process!
