Cryostar Facial

The procedure for CryoToning targets the dermal layer of the skin - the middle part where all the important cells and proteins live; 80% of the dermis is made up of collagen and elastin fibres. Collagen and elastin act as the ‘scaffolding’ to the skin, it keeps the dermis strong so that the epidermis (the part of the skin you see) lays flat on top. Unfortunately as we age, collagen and elastin depletes therefore the dermis loses its strength and structure, which is why we begin to see fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.

 

CryoToning works by using the wand set to cold, generally not below -2c to massage the skin. The therapist's hand (warm) follows massaging the areas which causes the blood vessels to alternate between constriction and dilation in the dermis. This improves the oxygenated blood flow (microcirculation) - the blood vessels are then able to deliver fresh nutritious blood to the other cells in the dermis; this in turn boosts collagen and elastin production, as well as improving the quality of these fibres. This helps build up the skin making it appear smoother and tighter. CryoToning is a great treatment to

reduce cellulite or target areas of loose skin following weight loss
