If you are dealing with excessive T-zone oiliness, enlarged pores or facial puffiness during the hot season, cryotherapy may be the solution to your problems.

What is cryotherapy?
Facial cryotherapy is a massage of the skin with liquid nitrogen, which is performed by a specialist. Liquid nitrogen is applied to the surface of the skin with a special applicator, creating an instant cooling effect. The procedure is completely painless and requires no recovery period.
How does cryotherapy work?
Exposure to liquid nitrogen activates the skin's cold receptors. In response to the sudden cooling, the blood vessels first constrict and then slowly dilate. This process:
- Increases blood circulation in the layers of the epidermis.
- Accelerates metabolic processes, promoting cell renewal.
- Removes dead skin cells, improvingskin texture and tone.
