From plunging into ice baths to ending showers on a frigid note, cold therapy has taken the world by storm for its healing benefits. Originally invented in 1978 as a remedy for arthritis pain, cold therapy (also known as cryotherapy) is now recognized as a wellness tool for reducing inflammation, boosting metabolism, and improving sleep. It also does wonders for your skin. Learn about this powerful treatment and experience CryoLuxe, an advanced cryotherapy facial, now available at Greenwich Medical Spa.
What Is a Cryotherapy Facial (aka Cryofacial)?
A cryotherapy facial works by pumping a controlled stream of pressurized liquid nitrogen vapor all over your face for a few minutes to rapidly cool the skin. This cold exposure constricts blood vessels, then causes a rush of oxygen and nutrients when the skin returns to normal temp—leaving the skin firmer, brighter, and more radiant.
“The intense cold temperatures constrict blood flow to the face and help tighten the skin and pores,” says Dr. DiAnne Davis, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist affiliated with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. Once the vessels dilate again, the blood restores to the face, imparting a smooth, glowy and rosy complexion, she explains.

How CryoLuxe Enhances the Cryotherapy Experience
Now available at Greenwich Medical Spa, CryoLuxe is an advanced facial that alternates hot and cold to maximize results. During the treatment, controlled sub-zero temperatures are applied to the skin, stimulating collagen production, improving blood flow, and enhancing skin elasticity, firmness, and radiance.
Benefits of thermal contrast stimulation:
- Activates collagen production
- Increases circulation
- Tightens facial muscles
- Offers immediate lifting and long-term firming
Is Cryotherapy Right for You?
Cryotherapy is ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and often beneficial for calming redness. A non-invasive treatment, CryoLuxe is perfect for those who want spa-like pampering with clinical-grade results and no down-time.
How Long Do Results Last?
You’ll see an instant glow, and with regular sessions, long-term firmness and smoothness.
While you may notice some immediate improvements after just one session, we recommend a series of 4-6 CryoLuxe Facial treatments for optimal results.
