For acne

In case of blackheads and small quantity pustular elements are carried out along the skin lines. The processing time for each zone does not exceed 15 seconds. The procedure time is 3-5 minutes. The main effects are a decrease in the rate of reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, narrowing of pores, and stimulation of local immunity.

Photo: application of liquid nitrogen

Each element can be processed 2-3 times in one session. Subsequently, the skin over the elements and scars after such treatment is exfoliated, which promotes the emptying and healing of acne, smoothing the scar.

With demodicosis The problem with demodicosis patients is that demodex mites are also on the skin healthy people

, whose immune system controls tick reproduction and prevents the development of the disease. Therefore, any methods aimed only at eliminating demodexes are doomed to failure in advance: a newly cured person will be infected again upon contact with other people. In this regard, cryotherapy turns out to be a more advantageous method of treatment, since it not only inhibits the ability of Demodex to reproduce, but also stimulates the immune, nervous and endocrine system

Photo: dermodicosis on the skin of the face

Most often, facial cryomassage is not used in isolation. Typically, it is used in combination with general hypothermia and treatment with anti-mite drugs.

For rosacea For rosacea, the procedure is carried out only if the patient has not had progression of the disease for a number of years, since cryomassage can only increase redness, dilation of blood vessels with the formation.

The massage is carried out along the skin lines, capturing areas of redness or the location of the vascular network. But the impact is shorter, usually less than 10 seconds per area, and more superficial. The session lasts 3-5 minutes.

The condition of the skin after the procedure practically does not change; there may be slight redness or blush, as a sign of blood flow to the facial skin. Therefore, immediately after the procedure you can return to your normal activities.

The skin does not require any special care after the procedure, but it makes sense to apply moisturizing or nourishing mask, use good cream, since the impact of care products and procedures on the skin increases many times over.

Liquid nitrogen treatment can be used at any time of the year, including summer, and does not in any way affect the photosensitivity of the skin.

During pregnancy

Pregnancy is not a contraindication to cryomassage, but not all doctors dare to take a pregnant woman for the procedure, since the changed hormonal background and work immune system may not always give predictable results. It should also be taken into account that the face is an extensive reflexogenic zone, the impact of which can lead to changes in the tone of the uterus.

Side effects

Cold allergy

To avoid the occurrence of cold allergies during facial cryomassage, a cold test is performed on the skin of the forearm. At hypersensitivity skin to the cold detected in the test, cryotherapy is contraindicated.

Skin frostbite

With a normal duration of contact of liquid nitrogen with the skin, the temperature of the skin drops to approximately 0 o C, which gives a pronounced stimulating, anti-inflammatory, decongestant effect, but no disruption of tissue functioning occurs. With longer exposure, tissue frostbite may occur, which subsequently results in pronounced peeling of the skin.

Contact of drops of liquid nitrogen on the skin of the red border of the lips and the conjunctiva of the eye

To carry out the procedure safely, after dipping in liquid nitrogen, be sure to hold the cotton swab over the container for some time and even shake it slightly to remove any dripping drops. The patient's eyes must be tightly closed.

If drops of liquid nitrogen fall on the wet surface of the red border of the lips or the surface of the eye, they stick the same way frozen metal sticks to damp skin. It is not possible to remove these drops quickly, because in their place a deep focus of frostbite can form.

The founder of the use of cold in massage was the Japanese scientist Toshimo Yamauchi. He studied in detail the therapeutic properties of cold treatment, and provided information about the benefits of “frost” procedures, using them on patients with rheumatism. Thanks to him, liquid nitrogen began to be used in cosmetology. On this moment, almost all salons offer liquid nitrogen treatment in their list of services: regardless of the age and gender of the client.

The principle of massage using liquid nitrogen

It is well known that temperature changes have a positive effect on blood circulation in tissues. IN Soviet time to avoid harmful influence environment on a face that is constantly exposed to atmospheric influences.

It is enough to carry out several procedures, and the most pronounced skin problems will be reduced to a minimum. Cryomassage for the face is completely painless, moreover, it quickly relieves painful sensations, and in medicine it has multiple indications for use in various diseases.

Types of cryomassage:

Deep cryomassage involves severe freezing, as a result of which the tissue layer is destroyed and dies. This type of “cold” massage will help “get rid” of papillomas and other unwanted skin formations. When carried out, the applicator touches problem area and acts locally on it for a slightly longer time, unlike conventional treatment.

Standard cryomassage is the same treatment with liquid nitrogen, but in this case the applicator does not touch the surface of the skin, the device does not linger at one point, but is carried out along massage lines faces pointwise.
