The outer skin is briefly ‘frozen’, activating the increased production of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin (similar to lasers treatments of the face, where very hot temperatures are used).

The skin regains elasticity and becomes smoother and even-toned, significantly improving conditions such as cellulite and skin aging. The Skin’s blood vessels and capillaries undergo severe vasoconstriction (to keep the core temperature from dropping), followed by vasodilation after the treatment. Toxins and other stored deposits are flushed out of the layers of the skin and blood perfusion (flow) is improved. These effects continue to improve after several treatments.

The anti-inflammatory properties of Cryotherapy are also used to treat chronic skin conditions such as Psoriasis and Dermatitis.
