Long used by sports doctors and dermatologists, cryotherapy now meets with great success in spas, beauty salons and other esthetic medicine practices. At very low temperatures, the cold becomes a real accomplice for regenerating hair fibre, eliminating cellulitis and even reducing superficial face wrinkles.

Capillary cryotherapy 

Already used to reduce alopecia (acute loss of hair on the head and skin), cryotherapy also improves the hair's health by repairing it in depth. Performed by the hairstylist with the help of a cold air blower (-16°), this treatment applied strand by strand after a shampoo allows for full reconstruction of the capillary fibre. The advantages of capillary cryotherapy ? No rest breaks, hair in good healthy condition, soft and shiny, with effects lasting up to eight weeks.

Cryolipolysis or Coolsculpting

Cryotherapy proves to be just as effective in the case of slimming treatments, especially for eliminating cellulitis. It is then known as cryolipolysis, a method patented in the USA in 2008 with the Coolsculpting® device. Destroying fatty cells by applying coldness (from -3 to -11°), this method is applied by zone, simultaneously if required. Results are not immediate: they appear in the weeks following the treatment. In this lapse of time, the body will naturally eliminate impaired cells, enabling the skin to retract and thus present the final contours of a new silhouette (with appropriate health practices and a well-balanced diet). A valid alternative to liposuction!

Anti-ageing treatments… ultra-cool!

Coolifting is one of two methods that are currently popular for facial rejuvenation based on freezing temperatures. Using a beauty gun to shoot a strong flow of CO2 at high pressure and very low temperature on the skin, this treatment lasting a few minutes improves micro blood circulation, stimulates production of collagen and elastine, and provides in-depth oxygenation for skin tissue. In a single session, it offers an instantaneous lift; as a cure, its effects are visible for up to four months. More specifically targeted, Frotox smooths superficial face wrinkles by "freezing" the temporal branch of the facial nerve for two to four months.
