Cryotherapy facial

A cryo facial is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure whereby liquid nitrogen-chilled air vapour is blown gently over the patient’s face and/or neck.

During the session, the surface temperature of your skin will drop to around 7-8°C. This will stimulate the production of healthy collagen and a range of endorphins and hormones that rejuvenate and tighten the skin.

In your initial session, your therapist will assess your requirements, go over your cryo facial plan and address any concerns you may have.

During the cryo facial, you can relax while your therapist gently applies chilled air from a hand-held nozzle to your face and/or neck as required.

You’ll begin to feel a tightening of the skin, a natural reaction to the cold and warming process, and see a more radiant countenance in the mirror as you experience the rejuvenating benefits over the next few days.

A cryotherapy facial feels like a strong burst of cold, refreshing air moving across the skin.

Some people describe a tightening or tingling sensation as the cold air encourages vasoconstriction, followed by a pleasant warmth as circulation increases.

The treatment is not considered painful, and many clients find it relaxing once they adjust to the temperature.

A cryotherapy facial is quick, usually taking around 10 to 15 minutes. During this time, a controlled stream of cooled air is applied to the face and neck to stimulate circulation and skin tightening.

Because each session is short and non-invasive, many people find it easy to fit into a lunch break or busy schedule.

There is generally no downtime after a cryotherapy facial. Most people can return to work, social events, or exercise straight away.

The skin may appear slightly flushed for a short time due to increased circulation, but this usually settles quickly.

As this modality is non-invasive, there are no needles, peeling, or recovery periods involved.

Cryotherapy facials do not physically exfoliate the skin in the same way as scrubs or chemical peels. Instead, the rapid cooling encourages circulation and cell turnover, which can help the skin appear brighter and more refreshed.

Some people notice their complexion looks smoother after treatment because the cold tightens pores and reduces surface dullness.

For deeper exfoliation, cryotherapy facials are sometimes combined with other skin treatments as part of a broader care plan.

Yes, a cryo facial can help reduce the appearance of mild dark spots and uneven pigmentation.

The below-freezing temperatures encourage cell turnover and improved circulation, which may lighten damage from sun exposure, age spots, or minor discolouration over time.

While cryotherapy is not suitable for skin conditions such as melasma, it can complement other treatments by refreshing the top layers of skin and promoting a more even tone.

For stubborn hyperpigmentation, it may be recommended to combine cryotherapy facials with targeted skin care products, prescribed medications, and treatments for the best results.

Cryotherapy facials may assist in managing acne-prone skin by helping to reduce inflammation, soothing redness, and supporting blood flow.

The cooling effect can temporarily minimise the appearance of swelling and may make breakouts look less irritated. Some people also find that it helps their skin feel refreshed and balanced.

It is important to note that, while anti-inflammatory, these facials are not a medical treatment for acne and results can vary between individuals.

If you have ongoing or severe acne, it is best to seek advice from a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or dermatologist, before considering complementary modalities like cryotherapy.

Yes. Cryotherapy facials are generally safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin.

Unlike methods that rely on heat or lasers, this technique works by cooling the skin and does not target pigment, which makes it less likely to trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Many patients come without makeup; however, you do not need to remove any makeup before the session. You can also wear makeup after cryotherapy.

You may book a one-time facial, but long-term results normally come after multiple sessions. A plan of 10-12 sessions, close together over 6-8 weeks, will accomplish most long-term skin goals.

The results from a cryo facial can last for up to a few weeks.

The more frequent your sessions, the more lasting the benefits, as this facial gradually improves skin texture and firmness.

The cost of a cryo facial depends on whether it includes the face and/or neck, as well as how many sessions you book at once.

At Chiropractic Plus, we offer affordable packages starting from just $60 for a cryo facial on the face or neck.

Yes. Many people do cryotherapy on other body parts after more invasive procedures and surgeries to speed their healing.
