• Therapeutic cryomassage of the face with liquid nitrogen. Methods and movements. Expectations from the home procedure

    17.07.2019

    Every woman dreams of preserving her youth and beauty for a long time, remaining as attractive and blooming. Many wealthy ladies resort to plastic surgery, but there are methods that do not require surgical intervention. One of these is facial cryomassage with nitrogen. The procedure can be carried out in a salon or at home, although the methods will differ from each other. But you won’t have to endure numerous injections and wait for the swelling to go away. It is worth noting that there are no analogues to the cryomassage procedure in terms of the method of influencing tissue and the results.

    What is cryomassage of the face

    Cryotherapy for the face is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying cold to the skin in combination with massage manipulations. As a result, blood vessels constrict and then expand, which improves blood circulation, improves metabolic processes in cells, keratinized particles begin to exfoliate, the skin breathes and absorbs nutrients better. Even in Ancient Egypt, cold compresses were used to relieve pain from wounds and fractures.

    For the first time, the term “cryotherapy” appeared thanks to the German priest Sebastian Kneipp, who began to effectively use this method in the treatment of problems with the musculoskeletal system. Massage techniques along with cryotherapy were carried out for the first time in 1984 by the Japanese Toshimo Yamauchi, who proved in practice the effectiveness of the method of applying artificial cold to the joints. Then cosmetologists adopted it, actively using it to get rid of benign formations, and the rejuvenation effect became noticeable as a result of this.

    Toshimo suggested exposing the body to icy air (-100...-1800C). Later, a technique emerged that made it possible to use low temperatures(using ice, liquid nitrogen, dry ice air) for cosmetic purposes. The direction began to develop in Germany, Poland, Japan, Russian doctors adopted this technique only in the 80-90s. Before carrying out cryomassage of the face with nitrogen, you cannot clean it to avoid allergic reactions. IN salon conditions the procedure consists of the following sequential steps:

    1. Preparation. The patient is positioned on the couch face up, the hair is hidden under a cap (towel), the body is covered with a sheet, and the face and neck are exposed for work.
    2. Treatment. The face is cleansed of cosmetics and treated with lotion.
    3. Conducting a session. The specialist uses wooden stick, with a cotton applicator at the end (some use a tube), which is dipped in liquid nitrogen, and then massaged with it.
    4. Applying cream.

    If the goal of the nitrogen cryomassage procedure is rejuvenation, manipulations are carried out quickly along the massage lines of the face. No discomfort is felt; direct contact with the skin does not occur, since an air cushion remains between it and the substance. If there are problems (in the form of warts, pimples, etc.), a targeted effect is carried out, holding the applicator in this place for 30 seconds. As a result of the procedure, crusts are formed that will fall off in a couple of days, and in their place will remain pink, renewed skin.

    Varieties

    Salons in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other Russian cities provide several options for cryomassage, which, depending on the method of influence and the desired result, can be either cheap or expensive. Liquid nitrogen in cosmetology is used in the following areas:

    1. Aerocryotherapy. Relieves swelling, inflammation, pain, used after face polishing, peeling, plastic surgery. The procedure is carried out by blowing cold air.

    The disadvantages of cryomassage with nitrogen include slight swelling and redness, which disappear in a few hours (no more than a day) and you can already proceed to the next session. The effectiveness of the procedure depends on the number of repetitions, which is determined by the degree of the problem. Most types of cryomassage are carried out in a course (15 sessions), which may not be very cheap.

    Indications for use

    A nitrogen facial massage is prescribed by a dermatologist-cosmetologist, or you can decide to undergo a cryomassage procedure yourself. Indications for use of the measure are:

    How often can you do facial cryomassage?

    Cryoprocedures for the face with nitrogen can be performed 2-3 times a week with a break of a couple of days. This is due to the fact that the skin is not injured after exposure to nitrogen and is quickly restored. After the first cryomassage, the result is not always noticeable, so specialists often prescribe a course of procedures consisting of 10-15 sessions. The amount is determined based on the existing skin problem.

    It is necessary to repeat the nitrogen treatment twice a year, preferably not in the summer, since after exposure to cold the skin becomes very sensitive to ultraviolet radiation. Advanced, complex skin problems are the reason for increasing or decreasing the number of sessions, their duration, and the frequency of repetition of courses.

    In the office of a cosmetologist-dermatologist, nitrogen massage is performed in the following sequence:

    1. The patient is located on a special couch, the hair is tucked under a cap or bandage.
    2. The facial skin is cleansed of cosmetics and treated with tonic.
    3. The specialist dips a wooden stick with cotton wool into liquid nitrogen and begins to treat problem areas.
    4. Then the cream is applied to the skin.

    The cryoprocedure is always the same for everyone, only the technique and duration may differ, which is determined by the purpose for which the session is performed. It takes the longest time to freeze scars on the skin; the course should consist of at least 4 procedures with a long interval. Warts and papillomas should be treated for at least 30 seconds each, but the duration of a session for rosacea should not be more than 4 minutes, so you need to treat problem areas for 10 seconds.

    Pustules and numerous pimples are “treated” for at least 15 seconds and manipulations are often continued several times per session. The nitrogen cryomassage procedure for demodicosis of the skin should be used only as a way to kill some mites and increase immunity, but the therapeutic effect must be achieved with special anti-inflammatory drugs. of this disease.

    Cryotherapy activates metabolic processes and is used in the treatment of ENT diseases, eliminating cosmetic defects and skin diseases.

    The essence of the method is to apply extreme cold (up to -160 C) for a short period of time. Vessels and capillaries are sharply compressed. After the end of exposure to cold, the capillaries begin to expand sharply.

    As a result of the shock effect, metabolic processes are stimulated, blood flow noticeably accelerates, thereby cleansing blood vessels, toning muscles and having a beneficial effect on the nervous system. The flow of arterial blood, enriched with oxygen and nutrients, to human organs increases.

    General cryotherapy is carried out in a special cryochamber. The skin is cooled to 0 C using sprayed liquid nitrogen. There is a general improvement, strengthening and even rejuvenation of the body.

    Also liquefied nitrogen is used for local cryotherapy when not the whole body, but individual zones are exposed to cold. This procedure is used to heal wounds, scars, and treat inflammatory processes.

    For cryomassage, use a cotton swab wound on a wooden stick. The swab is treated with liquid nitrogen and brought close to the desired area of ​​the body, helping to cool it.

    What is facial cryomassage, how is it done and why.

    Cryomassage is a procedure that combines the beneficial properties of cryotherapy and massage, that is, mechanical effects on tissue and the effect of low temperatures.

    The essence of the method

    The principle of cryomassage is based on the hardening effect of low temperatures. Cold exposure is short-lived; it causes a spasm of the surface capillaries, which is soon replaced by their compensatory expansion. This is greatly facilitated by the mechanical effect on tissue as a result of massage.
    The result is the following types of effects on tissue:
    • pain reliever;
    • anti-inflammatory;
    • decongestant;
    • muscle relaxant;
    • trophic-regenerative;
    • immunomodulatory;
    • lymphatic drainage
    Increased blood flow helps to increase metabolism and more quickly eliminate waste products, which leads to increased skin tone and elasticity.

    Indications for cryomassage

    Cryomassage is often recommended to be included in the rehabilitation program after injuries, including bruises and sprains. It will help with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, especially joints. Used frequently this technique in cosmetology - it allows you to restore skin elasticity, normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands, and helps reduce swelling after various traumatic manipulations.

    Types of cryomassage

    Moderately low temperatures (usually ice) and extremely low temperatures (below −20°C) can be used for the procedure. Ice is used in the form of wraps, massage with cubes, applications, and baths. Not only does it freeze plain water, but also mineral, vitamin compositions, herbal decoctions. Lower temperatures are achieved in the cryochamber. Sometimes the body is not completely cooled, but reflex points are massaged using an applicator with liquid nitrogen.

    Ice cryomassage

    Ice is applied to the massaged area and slowly moved along the skin along the massage lines. This part of the procedure lasts no more than 3 minutes. An exception may be the condition after an injury - the ice is left for 10-15 minutes to relieve pain. In other cases, after cold exposure, the patient is warmed up or physical activity is recommended (with cryomassage of the body).

    Cryomassage with liquid nitrogen

    It is carried out using a cotton applicator, with which liquid nitrogen is quickly applied to the surface of the facial skin, sometimes in a thin layer to reflex points. It destroys surface cells and evaporates when heated. After the procedure remains clean skin soft pink color.

    Facial massage using cold is becoming increasingly popular. Cryomassage of the face with liquid nitrogen allows you to maintain youth, get rid of wrinkles and inflammation. The cryomassage procedure can be carried out both in a beauty salon and at home.

    The therapeutic effect of contact of cold with the skin of the face can be achieved through short-term exposure to the tissue. At this time, the blood vessels begin to actively constrict, but soon steadily expand. As a result of such a sharp change in vascular activity, all metabolic processes in the body are accelerated, blood supply is improved, the immune system is strengthened, and the skin acquires a healthy color. Already 10-13 minutes after the procedure, the patient feels a rush of warmth to the face.

    Cryomassage and its beneficial properties

    Cryomassage of the face leads to gentle exfoliation of the upper layers of the skin, as a result of which young cells grow faster, inflammatory processes are stopped, and skin aging slows down, the tone of the facial muscles increases. Liquid nitrogen can have a beneficial effect not only on the skin of the face, but also on the entire body as a whole.

    Reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands during acne and lightens the skin during pigmentation. It fights seborrheic skin perfectly, completely cleansing and restoring it. After the procedure, fine wrinkles and so-called “crow’s feet” may disappear.

    Cryomassage is well compatible with other cosmetological methods of influencing the facial skin. It can prepare the skin for various general health and medical procedures, increasing useful action injections, wraps, physiotherapy sessions, and maybe eliminate the undesirable consequences of such procedures. Cryomassage is also applicable after surgery, all types of hair removal and various types of thermal treatments on the skin.

    The effect of cold is also applicable in the fight against unwanted skin formations - granulomas, papillomas, keratons, warts. After their removal, which takes place by freezing the formation with liquid nitrogen for 5-35 seconds, not a trace will remain on the skin.
