Cryomassage of the face is a pleasant procedure for eliminating cosmetic defects with the help of cold, the effect of which stimulates the regeneration processes, raises skin tone and returns a healthy, fresh look. This type of massage is performed in several ways: liquid nitrogen, medical ice and even frozen fruit. And one more notable feature of cryomassage is the possibility to carry out this procedure at home, naturally with the observance of precautionary measures.
We go to the salon
To begin with, let's still figure out how the salon massage procedure of face cryomassage is carried out. Most often the master uses liquid nitrogen, which is applied by light massage movements on his face with a wooden stick, wrapped in cotton wool. The professional performs the procedure gently and quickly, so as not to expose the skin to burns. The massage lasts about 7-10 minutes and at the same time the client feels a slight pleasant tingling from the cold.
What happens to the skin at this moment? Due to low temperatures, the pores contract sharply, and then gradually expand, and the blood pours to the vessels. It is at this moment that recovery processes are started, literally, transforming your face! The skin becomes elastic, velvety and acquires a healthy color.
In the event that you have chosen the cryomassage procedure with ice, the master, observing a certain technique, will stroke his face on the massage lines with a sachet of medical ice.
The effects of cryomassage of the facial skin with liquid nitrogen and ice are similar, so giving preference to this or that kind of massage is a matter of your taste. The cost of one cryomassage procedure varies from 10 to 20 cu. It is recommended to take a course consisting of 10-15 procedures, a period of two days. The best time of the year is autumn or spring, since in winter the skin is subject to severe frosts, and in summer the bright sun can provoke the appearance of pigment spots on the face.
