Facial Cryotherapy

---

Cryo is the Greek word for 'cold'.  The temperature used will depend on what you wish to achieve, this could be anything from reduction of pores or red veins, stimulating the collagen and elastin and giving an instantaneous tightness and filling fine lines and wrinkles.

At Skin & Tonique, we offer a variety of facial treatments as listed below : 

• Anti-wrinkle 
• Nourishing 
• Moisturising 
• Repairing 
• Firming 
• Lifting 
• Soothing 

At Skin & Tonique we treat every client as an individual and all the creams we use in our facials are mixed for you to give the best possible results. 

So how does it work?  Using a cryotherapy machine, your therapist will apply cold onto your skin – although it is cold, it is not in any way painful or too uncomfortable to bear.  Once applied, the cold begins to activate the collagen in your skin to produce more cells, giving you an instantaneous tightness and filling fine lines and wrinkles at the same time. 

We offer a range of facial treatments using cryotherapy as follows: 

Radiant Facial 

This illuminates the skin, restoring energy and colour to dull and tired skin.  The cold makes the skin radiant and stimulates cell renewal and restructuring. Following your treatment your skin will be more relaxed and oxygenated.   This treatment is especially suited to the skin of smokers.  

We also apply a day cream that contains active principles with shining effects that are able to contrast skin discolouration, thanks to its richness in hyaluronic acid in the form of micro-spheres. 

Express Facial
Gives a shine to the skin.  An immediate visible effect, the colour of your skin will be glowing and it will feel bright and fresh.  This treatment is ideal for those with busy lives as it takes just 10 minutes for you to have perfect skin.   

Shadow Bags
The action of applying the cold around the eye area, allows your skin to absorb the excess liquid that causes the shadow bags making it easier for the body to eliminate it.  The stimulation given by the cold increases blood circulation and allows you to improve the elasticity of your eye contour zone and to reduce the dark circles. Cold narrows the small blood vessels, calms and eliminates the swelling of the eyelids and eyes. 

Double-chin Facial  
This is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment. This helps to remove the fat under jaw which can be difficult to remove with diet and exercise. If just a little sag or so-called double chin, the cold tightens and the deep chill affects the fat cells beneath the skin which are then reabsorbed into your body.    

Blanco Rejuvenation 

This facial rejuvenates the tissues through the provision of nutrition, hydration and vitamins to dull grey skin.  It is useful for preventing skin aging. Blanco by Ro has a moisturising and nourishing action. It is ideal for protecting the skin and it contains: 

• Elastin (which makes skin more compact) 
• Sea Collagen (aids tissue reconstruction) 
• Umectol (natural factor for the moisturising of human skin)  
• Luminescent mica (enlightening agent) 

The cold, combined with Blanco by Ro, is capable of improving the production of collagen and elastin, strengthening the bonds between the skin cells, renewing the cells and, through a firming action, gives the skin an appearance which appears new, regenerated, and nourished.
