Cryo Facial FAQ

Unlike a traditional facial where steam is used to open pores and products are applied, Cryo-facials work to use your body’s natural reaction to cold temperatures. This completely dry and non-invasive facial uses nitrogen vapors to shrink pores and tighten skin on contact. Eliminate fine lines and blemishes, help heal scars, reduce the appearance of brown spots and puffiness all in 10 minutes.

Many clients notice an amazing glow immediately after a Cryo-Facial, while some may get a little “rosier” than others. We recommend trying a Cryo-Facial before any major event to rule out any skin sensitivity to the extreme cold temperatures used during the facial.

Avoid using excessive lotions or oils 1-2 hours before your Cryo-Facial. To reap the full benefits, avoid high temperature saunas, traditions facials and laser treatments after your facial as they will open your pores.

Frequency depends on your end goal. Clients using Cryo-Facials to reduce appearances of acne, scarring, and skin conditions should visit 2-3 times per week for at least 1 month.

Yes! However, your sauna session should be done before your Cryo-Facial. The use of extreme cold air shrinks your pores and tightens your skin, while hot saunas will open your pores and relax the skin. If both services are done at Cryology, we will have you wait 10-15 minutes to dry off after your sauna session before starting your Cryo-Facial.
