Cryotherapy is a modern, non-invasive method for improving skin firmness and tension, utilizing the effects of stabilized cold. The treatment is based on controlled lowering of skin temperature, which stimulates natural regenerative processes and aids in the transport of active ingredients deep into the tissues. By combining the cooling effect with the application of carefully selected products, cryotherapy effectively enhances skin condition, increases its elasticity, and restores a youthful appearance.
How does cryotherapy tighten the skin?
During the treatment, the skin is exposed to an intensely cooled applicator, which generates stable cold within the range of -10°C to -18°C. This mechanism triggers a series of biological reactions in the skin:
- Thermal shock causes alternating contraction and expansion of blood vessels, stimulating microcirculation and improving the oxygenation of skin cells. This effect promotes better tissue nourishment and stimulates their regeneration.
- Increased absorption of active ingredients - the low temperature allows the skin to absorb nutrients more effectively during the treatment. As a result, the ingredients contained in the applied products reach deeper skin layers more efficiently, supporting rebuilding and regeneration processes.
- Stimulation of fibroblasts leads to increased collagen and elastin synthesis, which are responsible for skin tension and elasticity. As a result, the skin becomes firmer and more resistant to sagging.
Thanks to the unique combination of cooling and revitalizing effects, cryotherapy not only improves skin tension but also strengthens its structure, preventing further aging processes.
When to use cryotherapy in firming therapy?
The Cryolift treatment can be used both preventively and therapeutically as part of a comprehensive program to improve skin tension. It is most effective:
- after the age of 25, as a preventive measure against loss of firmness and skin hydration - ideal for individuals with thin, tired skin showing signs of oxidative stress,
- after the age of 35-40, as support for firming at the first visible signs of sagging, loss of tension, and skin density,
- during periods of weakened skin, e.g., after winter, intense sun exposure, or invasive treatments - Cryolift supports regeneration and restores freshness,
- as a between stronger treatments, as a gentle form of revitalization and collagen stimulation that does not require recovery time.
Thanks to its cooling and microcirculation improvement effects, cryotherapy is also beneficial for individuals prone to swelling, redness, and signs of skin fatigue, offering soothing and firming properties simultaneously.
Effects of the treatment
- Improvement in skin tension and elasticity - the skin becomes more elastic and dense
- Facial contouring enhancement - lifting and shaping facial contours
- Smoothing of fine lines - reduction of initial signs of skin aging
- Deep hydration and nourishment - improved skin quality through more effective absorption of active ingredients
- Natural lifting effect - gentle firming without an unnatural skin tightening effect
- Improvement in complexion and skin radiance - the skin becomes more radiant and fresh
- Reduction of signs of fatigue - improved microcirculation enhances skin oxygenation
Cryotherapy is an excellent solution for individuals who want to improve skin firmness, reduce signs of aging, and restore a youthful appearance safely and non-invasively. The effects of the treatment are visible after the first session, and regular use allows for long-lasting improvement in skin condition.
What to combine with cryotherapy to enhance the firming effect?
Cryolift works best as a complement to light, regenerative firming treatments or as a final step after procedures requiring skin calming. It pairs well with:
- Light tissue stimulators with surface action - e.g., based on amino acids and hyaluronic acid, which do not require deep injections and can be supported by the microcirculation improvement provided by Cryolift.
- Manual facial massages (e.g., Kobido, Japanese 3D lifting) - Cryolift can be used after a massage to complete the therapy and enhance the tightening effect and drainage.
- Endermology - combining mechanical stimulation with controlled cold offers a dual effect of tightening and brightening; Cryolift can be performed directly after endermology as the final soothing stage of the treatment.
- Very gentle acids or ultrasonic peeling - Cryolift effectively soothes the skin after gentle exfoliation, supporting regeneration and absorption of active substances.
- Treatments using biocellulose, lifting, or collagen masks - a perfect combination for a banquet therapy or as the final stage of moisturizing-firming therapy.
- LED light (e.g., red or infrared) - combining cold therapy with light can synergistically improve skin tension and microcirculation, especially in programs for sensitive and vascular skin.
Cryolift is best combined with gentle, non-invasive treatments that support skin hydration, microcirculation, and nourishment. Combining cryotherapy with massages, peels, or LED light enhances the firming and regenerative effect while maintaining comfort and safety, even for sensitive skin.
