The principle of cryomassage
Facial cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen is based on treating the skin using an applicator with a wooden stick and a cotton swab. Experts use liquid nitrogen, which is stored in a closed container. Using an applicator, the cosmetologist applies the product along the massage lines, avoiding contact of the active composition with sensitive areas in the eye area and nasolabial triangle.
Cryomassage differs from the classic use of liquid nitrogen to remove tumors. The method involves short-term and not deep exposure. Liquid nitrogen can be used spot-on to solve certain skin problems. The specialist does not rub the product into the fabric. Possible slight burning sensation.
When cells come into contact with liquid nitrogen, biochemical processes intensify, narrowing of blood vessels occurs, which subsequently expand with a noticeable improvement in blood circulation and metabolic reactions.
Treatment of some forms of alopecia.
In case of oily seborrhea of the scalp with hair behavior phenomena, as well as in cases of alopecia alopecia, liquid nitrogen has a beneficial effect, subject to the simultaneous use of general methods of influencing the body as a whole (restorative treatment, vitamin therapy, etc.). Liquid nitrogen in these cases is used in the form of a scalp massage. In this case, the applicator is placed parallel to the surface of the skin and with light rotational movements the scalp is massaged down the partings. The duration of treatment of each area is 3-5 seconds until a small skin settlement; at the end of the cryomassage, persistent erythema appears. The procedure takes on average 10-20 minutes (cryomassage of the entire scalp).
With nesting baldness
Only the area of baldness is treated with liquid nitrogen intermittently for 1-2 minutes. The procedure is repeated after 2-3 days, the course requires 15-20 procedures. After a month of break, the course of treatment must be repeated. In total, patients receive 2-3 courses. It should be remembered that the low temperature of liquid nitrogen causes dryness and brittle hair, so during the treatment you should carefully monitor the condition of sebum secretion. In addition, when performing cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, it is necessary to take into account the general condition of the patient. Hypertension, epilepsy, vasospasms are contraindications for cryotherapy on the scalp, face, etc.
The liquid nitrogen treatment method is simple, accessible and can be successfully used in cosmetic and dermatological institutions. The great advantage of the method is that liquid nitrogen does not cause the formation of keloid scars, is low in pain, and has high therapeutic efficacy.
Rehabilitation period
After the cryomassage procedure, the clinic’s specialists will tell you in detail about the rules of skin care and the prevention of complications. After half an hour, if there are no complaints about your health, you can go home. Direct contact of treated skin with ultraviolet rays is prohibited. Experts recommend using sunscreen or special moisturizers.
A natural reaction is the persistence of edema and hyperemia for several days after nitrogen cryomassage. Light peeling of the skin may also occur, which can be relieved with moisturizers.
